CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK dense Mixed-Use building at a major intersection. The developer did have a community meeting. We have visited with the Robinson Center, Notre Dame, the neighborhood, the NNRO, the City of South Bend and others. We also sent out packages to each of the people within three hundred (300) feet and farther than that, showing both the site plan as well as the elevations. If you turn to page two (2) for the elevations, it is a striking building, in my opinion. One (1) of the things the developer tried to do was to on the wing's kind of lower it. So, it goes down as it goes into the neighborhood. We also have the authority to present to the Council that the NNRO supports this petitioner. Timothy Sexton of Notre Dame is the President of the NNRO. I would be happy to answer any questions. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic asked, Is there a user identified yet for the commercial space? Mr. Studer replied, There is one (1)potential user that, hopefully, will take almost 10,000 square feet. We haven't signed a lease yet, but we have identified one(1) user for the commercial space. Committeemember Ferlic followed up, Will there be any retail? Mr. Studer replied,We are hoping retail but will probably just be commercial. It could have a retail component. Committee Vice Chair Voorde then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to this legislation. There were none. Committeemember Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No. 12-19 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Broden seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of three (3) ayes. Bill No. 13-19- 3102 Mishawaka Avenue Rezoning Mr. Wyatt stated,The petitioner is requesting to rezone the area in red on your screen(referencing a slide in a presentation which is available in the City Clerk's Office) from OB, Office Buffer District to MU, Mixed-Use District for a Two (2)-Family dwelling. To the west and north are businesses zoned MU, Mixed-Use District. To the east are duplexes zoned MF-One (1), Urban Corridor Multi-Family District. To the south are Single-Family homes zoned SF-Two (2), Single- Family and Two(2)-Family District. Here is a view of the property from Mishawaka Avenue. The parking lot will be to the south. The site plan shows the placement of the required perimeter landscaping in the tree lawn. There will also be a physical separation of the parking lot from the sidewalk, per DCI's recommendation. This comes to you with a favorable recommendation from the Area Plan Commission. Dayle Nunez, 1628 Portage Avenue, stated, We are petitioning to rezone 3102 East Mishawaka Avenue from Office Buffer to Mixed-Use. Our application was evaluated and supported by the Department of Community Investment with two (2) requests. One (1) being the landscaping with two (2) trees, and the other being the use of parking bumpers in the parking lot to avoid encroachment onto the sidewalk. We agree with both requests and look forward to working with the City to implement them. The rezoning of 3102 East Mishawaka Avenue was unanimously passed by the Area Plan Commission. I would be happy to answer any questions.
