Significant effort has been put forth into the planning for the LaSalle Square site though the South Bend Comprehensive Plan, City Plan, and more recently the LaSalle Square Redevelopment Plan. This rezoning is consistent with both those plans. The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report. Sincerely, Gv ~/ J~W. B o ' Y JWB:jsc Attachment CC: Faith Apostolic Temple, Inc. Sterling Development, LLC Serving South Bend, Lakeville, New Carlisle, North Liberty, Osceola, Roseland and St. Joseph County, Indiana Staff Report APC # 2486-08 Owner: Faith Apostolic Temple, Inc. Location: 921 North Bendix Drive Jurisdiction: City of South Bend Requested Action: The petitioner is requesting a zone change from CB Community Business District to MF2 High Density Multifamily District to allow Multifamily dwellings. Land Uses and Zoning: On site: On site is a vacant lot. North: To the north are single family homes zoned SF2 Single Family and Two Family District. East: To the east is a restaurant and a vacant commercial building zoned CB Community Business District. South: To the south is amulti-tenant retail center zoned CB Community Business District. West: To the west is the LaSalle Branch of the St. Joseph County Public Library zoned CB Community Business District. District uses and development standards: The MF2 High Density Multifamily District is established to protect, promote and maintain the development of high density multifamily dwellings and to provide for limited public and institutional uses that are compatible with a multifamily residential neighborhood. The development standards are designed to promote the establishment of multifamily dwelling projects with on-site amenities. Site plan description: The site plan shows a 20,547 square foot apartment building. This 4 story, 72 unit building will cover 23.9% of the. site. Fifty five parking spaces, covering 28,711 square feet, are shown. Open space, including patios covers the remaining 36,712 square feet. Zoning and land use history & trends: This site, as a part of the LaSalle Square area, had requested rezonings in 2001 and 2002. Both were withdrawn. On October 3, 2008, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission accepted the LaSalle Square Plan. Traffic and transportation considerations: Ardmore Trail is a two lane road with a center turn lane. Utilities: The site will be served by municipal utilities. Additional information: (Agency comments) Board of Zoning Appeals variances for the height of the building, recreational open space, and number of parking spaces have been filed for the November 20, 2008 meeting. Faith Apostolic Temple, Inc. #2486-08 Page 1 of 1 5 Criteria (per IC 36-7-4-603): 1. Comprehensive Plan: Policy Plan: South Bend City Plan -November 2006 Objective H 1: Ensure that an adequate supply of housing is available to meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of households now and in the future. Policy H 1.4: Encourage the development of a variety of housing types and care choices for seniors and disabled persons. Land Use Plan: South Bend City Plan -November 2006 The future Land Use Map shoes this area in general as Mixed Use. Plan Implementation/Other Plans: LaSalle Square Area Redevelopment Plan Five Year Outlook Recommendation #3: Work with a senior housing developer to come into the Square. This development seems ideally suited to be situated in the vacant parcel to the immediate east of LaSalle library, which will preserve the frontage on Bendix Drive to be used for retail development. Bringing in a new development will quickly add residents, improving the likelihood of new retail development for the area. The proposed rezoning is in conformance with these policies and plans. 2. Current conditions and character: The current site is an empty field. 3. Most desirable use: The most desirable use for this site is a mixed use of residential and commercial. 4. Conservation of property values: The surrounding property values should not be affected. 5. Responsible development and growth: It is responsible development and growth to follow previously approved land use plans. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that the petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. Analysis: Significant effort has been put forth into the planning for the LaSalle Square site though the South Bend Comprehensive Plan, City Plan, and more recently the LaSalle Square Redevelopment Plan. This rezoning is consistent with both those plans. Faith Apostolic Temple, Inc. #2486-08 Page 2 of 2
