,Staff Report 8/7/2015 <br /> State statutes and the South Bend Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be <br /> met before a variance can be approved. <br /> (I)The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety,morals,and general <br /> welfare of the community. This is an appropriate extension of commercially zoned <br /> property consistent with the character of the area. <br /> (2)The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not <br /> be affected in a substantially adverse manner. The substantial amount of screening that <br /> will be provided will protect surrounding residential property values. <br /> (3) The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical <br /> difficulties in the use of the property. The property fronts on two streets,creating a <br /> practical difficulty for locating some of the essential items for the commercial <br /> development. The strict application will prevent the site from being developed into a <br /> functional grocery store. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Based on information available prior to the public hearing, staff recommends the rezoning <br /> petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. Staff <br /> recommends approval of all ten variances. <br /> Analysis: <br /> This location is an appropriate expansion of a commercial area. The Western Avenue <br /> Corridor is already equipped to handle the traffic which this site will draw. Surrounding <br /> residential properties should be minimally impacted by this use due to the extensive <br /> screening that will exist and the orientation of the traffic to Mayflower Road. <br /> APC # 2747-15 Page 4 of 4 <br />
