Lafayette Blvd. Suite 100, South Bend, Indiana 46601 574- 235 -9554 • (Fax)574- 235 -5541 building a southbendin.eov www.soutbendin.gov SPECIAL EXCEPTION & VARIANCE PETITION ABZA DATE March 1, 2017 PETITIONER ahoo.com Gloria Dei Lutheran Church 574 288 -5266 jeff.zell@yahoo.com 225 E. Haney Ave. South Bend PROPERTY OWNER (IF DIFFERENT THAN PETITIONER) Name Phone Address City PRESENTER (IF DIFFERENT THAN PETITIONER) Name Phone Address City PROPERTY INFORMATION SF -2 Portage 1411 Carroll St., lots 82, 83, 84 Haney's Addition South Bend IN 46613 Duai 1 ST zi Email ST SPECIAL EXCEPTION & VARIANCE(S) Seeking a special exception to allow an accessory parking lot in an SF2 zone, and variance from the required 16 sq. ft. to 32 sq.ft. and from the maximum 4' height to 5'6" for a sign. REASON FOR REQUEST(S) Zip 46613 To install a 4 -foot by 8 -foot monument -style sign on the meridian of said parking lot in an SF -2 zone. SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL STANDARDS 1. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because it will not be in the traffic right -of -way, neither will its presence interfere with access to the east -west alley for residents, city workers, public safety or utility workers because the alley will not be vacated. 2. The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or property values therein because our legal address is Haney Ave., yet for the past several decades, members and guests use the Broadway parking lot and the "main" entrance facing Broadway. The sign k ! , provide PETITION TO AREA BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION & VARIANCE greater visibility and immediate recognition. It is a professionally made sign by a nationally known company and exceptionally pleasing aesthetically. Also, there will be no alteration to existing property other than the installation of the sign. 3. The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which is located and the land uses authorized therein because Gloria Dei has been a rock on the southeast side since 1948 and a boulder in this city since 1880. Our outreach to the neighbors and places of worship that surround us is without equal. Gloria Dei is planted here and these roots grow deeper every year.. 4. The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the City of South Bend Comprehensive Plan because the proposed sign is consistent with those used by many houses of worship. The only difference is that we are asking approval to install it on a lot we own but which is not contiguous to our church building. VARIANCE APPROVAL STANDARDS 1. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because the sign will be setback from the public sidewalk and not impeded drivers' vision or obstruct the flow of traffic. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because it will improve the "face value" of our property and assure our neighbors of our containing commitment to the southeast side. The sign will be used solely to announce our worship times and special events and perhaps other events in the southeast side.. 3. The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because the sign is necessary to identify and welcome guests and visitors to our services and special events. On occasion, newcomers still come to the Haney Avenue entrance and are temporarily "lost." .
