Land Use Plan: <br />City of South Bend -City Plan, November 2006 <br />The Future Land Use Map identifies the area for medium density residential. <br />The rezoning conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map. <br />2. Current conditions and character: <br />The site is currently a single family home. <br />3. Most desirable use: <br />The most desirable use for the site is residential or office. <br />4. Conservation of property values: <br />The surrounding residential property values may not be conserved with the rezoning. <br />5. Responsible development and growth: <br />It is responsible development and growth to allow the expansion of existing office uses, where <br />adequate buffering is provided. <br />Recommendation: <br />Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that the petition <br />be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. <br />Analysis: <br />The rezoning will help alleviate the street parking situation in the area, by providing additional <br />parking spaces. The additional parking area is compatible with the surrounding office land uses <br />to the south and west. The required landscape screening will help buffer the adjacent residential <br />area. <br />Greater South Bend-Mishawaka Association of Realtors, Inc. <br />#2429-07 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
