Ivacic 2072-01 Location: 1814 Miami Street City of South Bend REQUESTED ACTION: The petitioners are requesting a zone change from "C" Commercial, "C" Height and Area to "A" Residential, "E" Height and Area to allow a single-family dwelling unit. EXISTING LAND USE: The property currently contains a residential structure. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: Located to the north are single-family homes zoned "C" Commercial, "E" height and area; to the east are single-family homes zoned "A-1" Residential, "A" height and area; to the south is an office building and a single-family home zoned "C" Commercial, "E" height and area; and to the west across Miami Street is a church and an office building zoned "C" Commercial, "E" height and area. ACCESS: Access to the site is from both Miami Street and Milton Street. WATER SOURCE/SEWAGE DISPOSAL: Water and sewer are available to the site. DRAINAGE: The drainage has not been addressed by the petitioner. SITE DATA: The total site to be rezoned is 4,800 square feet. ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: A check of the Agency's maps indicates that no public wells, flood hazards, wetlands or environmental hazard areas are present. SITE PLAN: A site plan is not required for rezonings to "A" Residential. AGENCY COMMENTS: PRELIMINARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that this petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. The proposed zoning to "A" Residential, "A" height and area represents a downzoning, and will be more compatible with the residential housing areas to the north and east than the commercial uses that could be developed under the existing "C" Commercial zoning.
