(3) Yards and Building Setbacks -The minimum front, side or rear yard and building setback shall be zero (0) feet from the lot line. (4) Parking Garage Height Limitation -The main structural height of any parking garage, exclusive of elevator towers or stairwells, shall not exceed sixty-five (65) feet in height. (Note: It is the intent of this regulation that any parking garage shall not have a main structural height in excess of the height of surrounding buildings.) (5) Fire Suppression -Any parking garage shall be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system. 4. Area 4 -Office /Residential Flats. Intent: Area 4 begins the transition from the high intensity activities of Area 1 and the large hotel and parking garage structures of Area 2 and Area 3 to the residential areas to the south and east of Eddy Street Commons. Approximately 50 - 60 dwelling units are projected for this area with each unit anticipated to include approximately 1,000 -1,700 sq. ft. of living area with a rear access, one-car attached garage. Additional guest parking would be provided in a portion of the Shared Parking facilities of Area 3. Since the likely unit style is anticipated to be flats (i.e., dwelling units located all on one floor and stacked above each other rather than side by side), the floor plate and living areas of upper floors must be the same as lower levels. This floor plate size and the desire to provide for the use of steeply pitched roofs and unique architectural features to present an image of a quality residential development require a higher than normal building height for the residential buildings in Area 4. Any office uses developed in Area 4 would be limited to the frontage along the proposed Duey Avenue extension to preserve the residential nature and appearance of Napoleon Street. a. Permitted Uses. (1) Any Office /Professional Services use listed in Section 21-03.02: MU -Mixed Use District of the South Bend Zoning Ordinance, provided, however, that Office /Professional Services uses shall not be permitted in any building which fronts onto Napoleon Street. (2) Multifamily Dwellings. (3) Accessory uses, temporary uses or home occupations as listed in and regulated by the General Regulations for either Residential Districts or Commercial Districts, as applicable, based upon the nature of the primary use for which the accessory use, temporary use or home occupation is associated. b. Development Standards. (1) Any Office /Professional Services use alone or in combination with multifamily dwellings in the same building shall be developed in compliance with the regulations of Section 21-03.02: MU -Mixed Use District of the South Bend Zoning Ordinance, except as modified below:
