Site Plan Description: The existing concrete pad will remain and will be brought up to City standards for a parking lot in an NC district, including a Type 1 buffer to the west and a Type 1 or Type 2 buffer to the north. Zoning and Land Use History and Trends: A house was located on this parcel in 1917. The house was demolished between 2015 and 2016 and the parking pad was built on the site between 2016 and 2017. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: To the west of the parcel, S Walnut Street is a 36' wide two lane street. 12' alleys run to the south and east of the parcel. Agency Comments Staff Comments: No additional comments at this time. Criteria for Decision Making Rezoning Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to: 1. Comprehensive Plan: Policy Plan: The petition is consistent with city's comprehensive plan, City Plan (2006) Objective LU 2: Encourage a compatible mix of land uses in the community. Rezoning the site will allow for a current business to expand service to the neighborhood. Land Use Plan: The Future Land Use Plan identifies this area for Medium Density Residential. Plan Implementation/Other Plans: There are no neighborhood specific plans for this area. 2. Current Conditions and Character: The existing neighborhood is a dense urban single-family neighborhood. Most of the homes in the neighborhood date from the early 1900s. Many small scale commercial buildings exist on corner lots which continue to serve the neighborhood. SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 4 Staff Report-PC#0185-24 1/16/2024 3. Most Desirable Use: The most desirable use is one that promotes mixed use development to strengthen the neighborhood. 4. Conservation of Property Values: The use and value of the adjacent properties should not be negatively impacted. 5. Responsible Development and Growth: It is responsible development and growth to allow for commercial development on this parcel that supports the neighborhood. Analysis & Recommendation Commitments: There are no commitments at this time. Analysis: Rezoning to NC Neighborhood Center will allow this property to be fully utilized by the business to the south, which currently owns the parcel. Under common ownership and the same zoning, the parcel can support accessory uses to the business, expanding the capacity of a neighborhood scale business to serve the surrounding area. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the Staff recommends the Plan Commission send the rezoning petition to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation.
