Bill 03 -16 — Amending the zoning ordinance 3620 Deahl Court ( Corvilla Inc.) Angela Smith, Area Plan Commission with offices on the 116' Floor of the County City Building, served as the presenter for this bill. The petitioner is seeking to rezone from Light Industrial to ,Mixed Use for the proposed use of an adult daycare center. This used to be a girl scouts building and the majority of the property around the site is Light Industrial. The building is currently heavily screened by the existing vegetation. Angela Smith provided pictures of the site which are on file with the City Clerk's Office. This comes with a favorable recommendation from the Area Plan Commission. Councilmember Oliver Davis entered the meeting. Councilmember Jo M. Broden asked about the potential number of adults being served at the center and their conditions. Rick Thompson, 3231 Sugar Maple Business Ct South Bend, is the CEO of Corvilla and the petitioner for this bill. The individuals who will be using this site have intellectual or developmental disabilities. This will be a day service and around twenty -five (25) to forty (40) individuals will be there and staffed by no more than four (4) or five (5) individuals per staff member. Corvilla anticipates using the outside for some services but we are also looking into installing a fence around the wetlands even though it is a ways from the building. Their number one priority is the safety of their individuals.
