property located at 5101 NIMTZ PARKWAY, City of South Bend, to allow for a
professional office use. - PC# 0218-24b. (Audio Position: 08:37)
STAFF REPORT
The staff report was presented by Kari Myers.
Analysis: Zoning this property to I Industrial would be consistent with the intent of the
ordinance and allow the owner to obtain the necessary permits to upgrade the building in
preparation for occupancy. The parcel will also be subdivided to become a legal lot of
record as the property was state right-of-way.
Staff 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.
