:� At <br />F <br />Common Council <br />City of South Bend Indiana <br />Jo Broden, 4u' District Council Member <br />4t' Floor County -City Building <br />227 West Jefferson Boulevard <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />(574) 235 -5978 (574) 235 -9173 Facsimile <br />July 6, 2016 <br />The South Bend Common Council <br />41` Floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601. <br />Bill No. 38 -16 <br />(574)235 -5567 TTY/i'DD <br />Re: Proposed Zoning Text Changes to Chapter 21 of the South Bend Municipal Code <br />Dear Council Members: <br />The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, passed a new zoning ordinance that went into <br />effect on May 7, 2004. Since the passage of that ordinance over 12 years ago, the housing market has <br />continued to change and evolve. <br />The proposed changes in the attached ordinance, broaden our zoning code definition of group residence to <br />encompass more housing options of interest to persons desiring to live in varied, evolving figurations <br />of shared residential community then previously defined. It also proposes to expand the areas within our <br />City where such group residences may locate as special exempted uses. Specifically, the Central Business <br />District East and the Central Business District West would be additional areas within South Bend to <br />accommodate innovative and market - responsive group housing models to develop. <br />This proposed ordinance, in conjunction with the above definition and use expansions, also seeks to clarify <br />the definition of family. While Common Council initiated, these proposed ordinance changes have been <br />collaboratively drafted and reviewed with staff members of the Area Plan Commission, as well as, the City <br />of South Bend Department of Community Investment's planning staff and attorneys from the Department <br />of Law. All of the proposed changes are aimed at keeping South Bend competitive and welcoming <br />with respect to changing trends in housing. <br />I respectively request the Common Council schedule this proposed ordinance for first reading at the July <br />11 s' Council meeting so that the Bill can be sent to the Area Plan Commission for their meeting of August <br />161, and to the Council's Zoning and Annexation Committee, with 21 reading, public hearing and 3'd <br />reading at the August 221 Common Council meeting. Thank you for your consideration. <br />Si <br />J Braden <br />outh Bend Common Council Member 41b District <br />Filed in Clerk's Office <br />JUL <br />KAREEMAti FOVA ;R <br />CITY CLERK, $om MD, IN <br />
