Land Uses and Zoning: On site: On site are two vacant lots North: To the north is a single family residence, zoned SF2 Single Family&Two Family District. East: To the east across Main Street is an office complex,zoned CB Community Business District South: To the south across Ireland Road are retail establishments,zoned CB Community Business District West: To the west across Lafayette are retail establishments, zoned CB Community Business District District Uses and Development Standards: The CB - Community Business District is established to provide a location for high volume and high intensity commercial uses. Activities in this district are often large space users which may include limited amounts of outdoor sales or outdoor operations. Developments within the CB District shall be coordinated to facilitate vehicular and pedestrian access from nearby residential districts. Site Plan Description: The 3.2 acre acre site is proposed to be divided into 2 development sites. Parcel A is 1.66 acres. The proposed plan for this site includes a 7,616 square foot bank with 3 drive through lanes. The preliminary site plan meets the requirements for all landscaping per the Ordinance. Parcel B is 1.52 acres. This site is reserved for future development with no specific site plan submitted at this time. That site will need to meet all the development standards for the CB Community Business District. Zoning and Land Use History And Trends: This site is part of the vacated single family residential area that remains after the realignment of Main and Lafayette. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: Ireland Road has 4 lanes with a divided median. Lafayette has 2 lanes plus a center turn lane. Main has 2 lanes. APC# 2821-17 Page 1 of 3 Staff Report 5/4/2017 Utilities: The site will be served by municipal water and sewer. Agency Comments: Community Investment offers a favorable recommendation. The rezoning is consistent with the regional commercial node shown around Michigan Street and Ireland Road on the City Plan Future Land Use Map and with surrounding commercial land uses.DCI encourages the petitioner to use architecture, building finishes, and landscaping in excess of that required by the zoning ordinance. The proposed bank property should share access and connections with the future eastern development parcel. The Department of Public Works comments with items required prior to approval of any building permits: Completion of City of South Bend Utility Verification Form; Approval of sidewalk, curb cut, lighting, and overall site improvement to reflect the Master Plan for the surrounding area. Confirm with the City the location of utilities on the final site plan. Sidewalk will need to be placed along Ireland Road to the Eastern boundary of the property. Development of the site requires City approval of a Drainage Plan, and payment of the corresponding Drainage Review Fee,that meets the City's requirement to store all runoff from developed areas on site; Verification of required(if any) waivers; Payment of Final Site Plan Review fee. Commitments: The petition is not proposing any written commitments. Criteria to be considered in reviewing rezoning requests, per IC 36-7-4-603: 1. Comprehensive Plan: Policy Plan: The petition is consistent with City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (November 2006)Policy ED 1.2 Encourage reuse of abandoned and underutilized land and structures. Land Use Plan: The future land use map identifies this area as commercial office and retail use. Plan Implementation/Other Plans: There are no other plans in effect for this area. 2. Current Conditions and Character: The site is located in a regional commercial node near the intersection of Ireland Road and Michigan Street(SR 31). Adjacent to the CB Community Business District along Ireland Road 3. Most Desirable Use: The most desirable use for the land is one that allows for redevelopment of these sites with minimal impact on the adjacent Community Business District. 4. Conservation of Property Values: The site is located in a commercial area. Adjacent property values should not be adversely impacted. APC # 2821-17 Page 2 of 3 i Staff Report 5/4/2017 5. Responsible Development And Growth: It is responsible development and growth to allow for the vacant lots to be rezoned for Community Business in an area primarily comprised of similar commercial developments. Combined Public Hearing This is a combined public hearing procedure, which includes a rezoning and 2 variances from the development standards. The Commission will forward the rezoning to the Council with or without a recommendation and either approve or deny the variances. The petitioner is seeking the following variance(s): 1)From the minimum of five waiting spaces prior to the first occurance of any ordering, pick-up or service facility 2)From the minimum 41 required off-street parking spaces to 34 (1)The approval will not be injurious to the public health,safety, morals and general welfare of the community; The proposed development variances should have no impact on the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community (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; The use and value of adjacent properties should not be adversly affected by the requested variances. The development of this site adequately accomodates parking and stacking commonly associated with developments of this type. (3)The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical difficulties in the use of the property The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would require parking spaces based on a calculation for square footage of the building which requires more than is practically necessary. It is the staffs opinion that the proposed placement of the drive up lanes, parking area, and building, areas are optimized for this site. Staff Comments: The staff has no additional comments. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing the staff recommends the rezoning petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. The staff recommends approval of the variances. Analysis: Rezoning this site from to CB Community Business will allow for the expansion of an existing commercial district established in a commercial node located adjacent to the intersection of Michigan(SR 31) and Ireland Road.
