COMIP.REAPLAN Staff Report 5/8/2015 APC # 2741 -15 Owner: South Bend Self Storage LLC Location: 605 North Hickory Road Jurisdiction: City of South Bend Public Hearing Date: 5/19/2015 Requested Action: The petitioner is requesting a zone change from GB General Business District to PUD Planned Unit Development District. Land Uses and Zoning: On site: On site is a former retail space that has been converted into mini - warehouse storage units. North: To the north are single family homes zoned SF1 Single Family & Two Family District. East: To the east is a vacant lot zoned PUD Planned Unit Development District and a Dollar General store zoned CB Community Business District. Across Hickory Road is a multi- tenant shopping plaza in the City of Mishawaka. South: To the south are retail stores and an Elks Lodge zoned CB Community Business District. West: To the west is a vacant lot zoned PUD Planned Unit Development. District Uses and Development Standards: The Planned Unit Development (PUD) District is designed and intended to: encourage creativity and innovation in the design of developments; provide for more efficient use of land; permit special consideration of property with outstanding natural or topographical features; facilitate use of the most appropriate construction techniques in the development of land; and, provide for any individual land use not otherwise specified elsewhere in this Ordinance. The PUD District encourages imaginative uses of open space, promotes high standards in design and construction, and furthers the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. The PUD District is not intended for the development of residential subdivisions or other developments which are provided for as a matter of right within any district of this Ordinance. Site Plan Description: The 10.61 acre site contains a 128,614 square foot building, previously used for retail. A 30,000 square foot retail space is proposed with the remaining 9,244 designated as self - storage warehousing space. A portion of the structure is currently being used for self - storage warehousing. A total of 117 parking spaces will be provided for all uses. The west property line, north of the building, will be screened using either a fence or landscaping. The existing freestanding sign along Hickory Road will remain and may not be increased in height or area without proper approval as per the City zoning ordinance. APC # 2741 -15 Page 1 of 3 Staff Report Zoning and Land Use History And Trends: 5/8/2015 Prior to the adoption of the current zoning ordinance in 2004, the site was primarily zoned C Commercial, with the northern 120' zoned B Multifamily. In 2011, the property to the west and an outlot fronting on Hickory to the east was rezoned to PUD (APC# 2597-11) for a self -lock storage project, CB Community Business uses, and single or multi - family residential uses. A secondary site plan has not been submitted. In 2014, the majority of the site was rezoned to GB General Business District (APC# 2704 -14) to allow for mini - warehouse storage units with a Special Exception Use for outdoor storage. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: Hickory Road has four lanes and a center turn lane. Utilities: This property is served by municipal sewer and water. Agency Comments: The County Surveyor and Department of Community Investment offer a favorable recommendation. The City Engineer notes that approval will be subject to a drainage plan and final site plan review. Commitments: The petitioner 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 Medium Density Residential. Plan Implementation /Other Plans: There are no other plans in effect for this area. 2. Current Conditions and Character: The McKinley Avenue and Hickory Road area is a large commercial node with a mixture of uses. 3. Most Desirable Use: The most desirable use for the land is one that is compatible with the commercial and mixed -use character of the area. 4. Conservation of Property Values: Any improvements to the site, including screening, should not adversely affect surrounding property values. APC # 2741 -15 Page 2 of 3 Staff Report 5. Responsible Development And Growth: 5/8/2015 It is responsible growth and development to allow retail uses within this repurposed building, and to allow outdoor storage within its underutilized parking lot. Staff Comments: Outdoor storage may be permitted on the site, but will be limited to a maximum size of 20% of the gross square footage of the building. Any outdoor storage may not encroach within 50' of any property line, or within 200' of the north property line, and will be required to have screening in the form of an 8' fencing or landscaping. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, staff recommends that the rezoning petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. Analysis: This site is suited for uses allowed in GB General Business District, LB Local Business District, and CB Community Business District. Zoning to PUD Planned Unit Development District will allow for a wide range of compatible commercial uses not explicitly listed in any single zoning district.
