Site Plan Description: The petitioner wishes to rezone the property to U3 so that someone can live in the existing detached house, which is not allowed under the current Industrial zoning. Zoning and Land Use History and Trends: There has been a detached house on the property since about 1913. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: Brookfield Street is a 32' wide street with one lane of traffic in each direction and on-street parking. Agency Comments Agency Comments: Engineering would like to remind the petitioner that maintaining the sidewalk and curb, which likely need improvement, is their responsibility. 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: In the city's comprehensive plan, Objective H 2 is to "maintain South Bend's housing stock in good condition," and Policy H 2.3 specifically identifies the need to "support the efforts of community organizations to rehabilitate and repair older homes." Land Use Plan: This property falls within the Kennedy Park neighborhood. In the 2022 neighborhood plan, the future zoning map shows the parcel as industrial. Plan Implementation/Other Plans: Strategy 3 in the 2022 Kennedy Park neighborhood plan outlines a desire to "develop and preserve housing in the neighborhood," with action item 3.1 specifically saying to "support the production of a range of housing types including new construction and rehabilitation of market rate and affordable units for owner and rental housing." 2. Current Conditions and Character: SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 4 Staff Report-PC#0262-25 7/21/2025 The surrounding structures are mostly one story, and are a mix of homes, industrial buildings, and a few commercial properties, as well as the petitioner's church. Some buildings appear to be occupied while some appear to be vacant. 3. Most Desirable Use: The most desirable use for this property would be to restore it to an occupied residential use, as there has been a home on the site for more than one hundred years, but the current structure is nonconforming with its zoning designation. 4. Conservation of Property Values: Allowing this vacant home to be occupied may help to increase the value of this specific property, as well as surrounding properties. 5. Responsible Development and Growth: Rezoning this parcel would allow for the use of an existing structure that already has utilities provided, exhibiting a responsible and low-impact instance of development. Analysis & Recommendation Commitments: No commitments are proposed at this time. Analysis: Although the neighborhood plan recommends that this parcel stay zoned as industrial, rezoning it to U3 would fulfill a goal of the Kennedy Park neighborhood plan to rehabilitate housing units in the area, as well as two related goals within the city's comprehensive plan to maintain the city's existing housing stock and support community organizations in rehabilitating older homes. Additionally, it would create continuity with the U3 zoning of other residential parcels immediately to the north and allow for the use of an existing building. 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.
