Ordinance & Petition Amendments: The following changes have been made to the above referenced petition: Ordinance & Petition: 1.) The zoning classification was amended to reflect the LB Local Business District. A Copy of the revised Ordinance and Petition are attached. Public Hearing Summary: At the May 17, 2016 Area Plan Commission public hearing there were three people that spoke in favor of the petition and one agency representative spoke in opposition: • Karl Nichols spoke in favor of the petition, stating that he has done business with the petitioner in the past; • Darnell Oneal spoke in favor of the petition, stating that he manages a business on the southwest corner of Lincolnway West and Eclipse St., and is in support of other local businesses coming into the area; • Mae Jones spoke in favor of the petition, stating that the renovation of the building would be an improvement to the neighborhood; • Michael Divita of the Department of Community Investment spoke in opposition to the petition, stating that allowing dispersed commercial development outside of the designated nodes, as determined by the Comprehensive Plan, is detrimental to the economic development of the City. At the June 21, 2016 Area Plan Commission public hearing there were three people that spoke in favor of the petition; one person and one agency representative spoke in opposition: • Samuel Brown expressed concern that there is a need to clarify where residential uses start and business uses start along Lincolnway West. He suggested it would be better to continue the discussion until that is clarified instead of denying the petition. • Darnell Oneal spoke in favor of the petition, stating that Ms. Kimbrough has already started to improve the property and he has no objection to her opening a business. • Rev. Batteast spoke in favor indicating that most of the property in this section of Lincolnway was once owed by Ms. Kimbrough's family and allowing this property to be used commercially will not affect any residential in the area. He asked for clarification for the people so they know what is expected. SERVING ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, SOUTH BEND, LAKEVILLE, NEW CARLISLE, NORTH LIBERTY, OSCEOLA & ROSELAND W W W. S T J O S E P H C O U N T Y INDIANA. C O M/ A R E A P L A N • Professor Hudak spoke in opposition stating that the other businesses in this area are not well maintained and allowing more businesses in will continue to weaken the residential properties in the area. • Michael Divita of the Department of Community Investment spoke in opposition to the petition, stating that the recently adopted West Side Main Streets Plan clearly defines the desired use for this section of Lincolnway as residential further noting that there are 5 commercial properties and 30 residential properties in this area. He indicated that they would be happy to assist Ms. Kimbrough in finding a location for her business in one of the designated commercial nodes along the corridor.

Land Uses and Zoning: On site: On site is a single family home and detached garage. North: To the north across Lincolnway West are single family homes zoned SF2 Single Family & Two Family District and vacant lots zoned CB Community Business District. East: To the east is a funeral home zoned LB Local Business District. South: To the south is a single family home zoned SF2 Single Family & Two Family District. West: To the west are single family homes zoned S172 Single Family & Two Family District. District Uses and Development Standards: The LB District is established to provide for small business groupings located outside of the village style mixed use concept and which provide for the full range of convenience uses necessary to meet the daily needs of nearby residential neighborhoods. Permitted uses within the LB Districts are regulated in character to assure harmonious development with the nearby residential districts served and are limited in size and scale to promote pedestrian access. Site Plan Description: The site plan shows the existing home being used as the main commercial building with the existing garage being used for parking or storage. Paving is proposed in the front yard between the house and the sidewalk. The existing driveway would be extended to the rear of the property, where 9 parking spaces are provided. No landscaping is proposed on site. Zoning and Land Use History And Trends: This property has been zoned residential since prior to the current zoning ordinance. There have been no rezonings within 1000' of this property since 1978. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: Lincolnway West has two lanes and a center turn lane with on street parking. Utilities: This site is served by municipal sewer and water. APC # 2777 -16 Page 1 of 3 Staff Report 6/8/2016 2) from the required off - street parking area screening to none; 3) from the required hard surface paving to gravel State statutes and the Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be met, before a variance can be approved. The standards and their justifications are as follows: (1) The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community; Hard surface paving prevents soil erosion and surface contaminant runoff issues. The use of gravel on this site may negatively impact surrounding soil conditions and create dust and debris that could create a negative impact on the general welfare of the neighborhood. (2) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner; The lack of landscaping on this site will be burdensome for adjacent property owners, and negatively affect property values. (3) The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical difficulties in the use of the property No practical difficulties exist to warrant variances on this site. Staff Comments: This petition was originally heard at the May 17, 2016 Area Plan Commission Hearing. It was identified at that time that the petitioner would need to rezone to the LB Local Busniess District to allow all of the uses they intend to eventually conduct on site, such as a print shop. The LB Local Business District allows many commercial uses which would not be appropriate for this location, as determined by the West Side Main Streets Plan. Some of those uses include: grocery store, nightclub, fast -food restaurant, tavern, banks and drive through bank machines, tobacco stores and other retail uses. The site plan, as shown, would require additional variances including, but not limited to, parking setbacks and foundation landscaping which will need to be approved by the Area Board of Zoning Appeals. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing the staff recommends that this rezoning petition be sent to the Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation. The staff recommends denial of the variances. Analysis: This site is not suitable for commercial development. The West Side Main Streets Plan strongly discourages commercial activity outside of the designated nodes along Lincolnway West. Due to its location, small lot size, and the goals and policies of the West Side Main Streets Plan, this site should remain residential.
