STAFF REPORT October 6, 2000 <br />Richard R. and Janice H. Miller 2026-00 <br />Location: 502 S. Brookfield Street <br />City of South Bend <br />REQUESTED ACTION: The petitioners are requesting a zone change <br />from "C" Commercial, "D" Height and Area to <br />"B" Residential, "D" Height and Area to allow <br />a multi-family use. <br />EXISTING LAND USE: The property currently contains a multi-family <br />use. <br />SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: Located to the north, south and west are <br />single-family homes zoned "C" Commercial, "D" <br />height and Area; and to the east are <br />single-family homes zoned "B" Residential, "A" <br />height and area. <br />AccESS: Access to the site is from both Huron Street <br />and Brookfield Street. <br />WATER SOURCE/SEWAGE DISPOSAL: Water and sewer are available to the site. <br />DRAINAGE: The drainage has not been addressed by the <br />petitioner. <br />SITE DATA: The total site to be rezoned is 6,150 square <br />feet. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: A check of the Agency's maps indicates that no <br />public wells, flood hazards, wetlands or <br />environmental hazard areas are present. <br />SITE PLAN: The site plan is preliminary. <br />AGENCY COMMENTS: The City Engineer will require a drainage plan <br />at the final site plan stage. <br />PRELIMINARY <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on information available prior to the <br />public hearing, the staff recommends that this <br />petition be sent to the Common Council with a <br />favorable recommendation, subject to a final <br />site plan. This property currently contains a <br />mutli-family housing unit and is surrounded by <br />single family homes. Although, the staff <br />would not normally encourage "B" Residential <br />zoning in a primarily single-family area, it <br />is the staff's opinion that in this instance, <br />"B" Residential is more appropriate for this <br />property than "C" Commercial. The proposed <br />zoning is less intensive than the existing <br />zoning . ..--_-__-- ..,, _ __ __ ....._...._._ ...._.____ <br />~ol.~ i ~ `oleic <br />t <br />
