A proposed ordinance of VIDA NUEVA SOUTH BEND CHRUCH OF GOD BY
CARPINTEYRO JORGE to zone from I Industrial to U3 Urban Neighborhood 3,
property located at 740 BROOKFIELD ST, City of South Bend - PC# 0262-25.
(Audio Position: 0:11:25)
STAFF REPORT
The staff report was presented by Tim Staub .
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 zoning of other residential parcels to the north and allow the land to be used in the
same way that it has for many decades in the past.
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.
PETITIONER- Jose Servano, pastor, 2615 Bailey Ct, was in person to present.
