Lot 3 Coveleski Park Minor Subdivision, Parcel ID 018- 3014 - 051502
(collectively, the "Property ")

From the requirement that off - street loading not be located between the front lot line and

From the required 20' -0" minimum depth of parking spaces of off - street parking areas to

Additionally, the petitioner requests the BZA recommend a special exception to permit Petitioner
to develop a portion of the Property for Residential Uses including, but not limited to,
Multifamily Dwellings as permitted in Section 21- 03.06(a)(2)(H) of the City of South Bend,
Indiana Municipal Code. The Petitioner, partnering with Mr. Andrew Berlin, has announced
plans to develop the Property with a $21 million, 120 -unit mixed -use project (the "Project ") on
the vacant land on such Property.
In accordance with Indiana Code 36 -7 -4- 918.4, Petitioner provides that:
(i) The proposed Project will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort,
community moral standards, convenience or general welfare.
The Project will comply with all building, fire safety, traffic and all other
applicable laws and regulations. The Project is expected to include 120
apartments and 10,000 square feet of retail space on currently vacant land
adjacent to Four Winds Field.
(ii) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not
be injured or adversely affected.
The Project is expected to include 120 apartments and 10,000 square feet of
retail space on currently vacant land. The Project is expected to continue the
City's efforts to redevelop the area which would improve the general welfare of
the community and improve the adjacent property through the promotion of
future development in the area.
(iii) The proposed special use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it
is located and the land uses authorized therein.
The Project is a part of the City's efforts to redevelop the district, which includes
the area surrounding Four Winds Field and the former Studebaker Assembly
Plant. The Department of Redevelopment City of South Bend currently owns the
land and has agreed to sell it to Mr. Andrew Berlin to promote development like
this Project.
(iv) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
The Project is a part of the City's efforts to redevelop the district, which includes
the area surrounding Four Winds Field and the former Studebaker Assembly
Plant. The Department of Redevelopment City of South Bend currently owns the
land and has agreed to sell it to Mr. Andrew Berlin to promote development like
this Project.
Strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties in the
use of the Property. As provided in the Site Plans and Aerial View of the Property attached
hereto, the total acreage and layout of the Property adjacent to Four Winds Field requires certain
variances to fit the Project within the Property while also utilizing Four Winds Field. Without the
variances and the special exception, the size and the scope of the Project would be substantially
limited.
