ORDINANCE NO. Q ~o~os ~ ~o AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1045 WEST WASHINGTON STREET, COUNCILMANIC DISTRICT 2 IN THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT The property at 1045 West Washington Street is now zoned MF, Multi Family, and it is requested to rezone the property to O, Office. When the last neighborhood rezoning took place, 1045 West Washington Street was the office location of the Hansel Neighborhood Center and this zoning accommodated that use. Unfortunately, the Hansel Neighborhood Center went out of business approximately two (2) years ago and South Bend Heritage Foundation purchased the property from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to ensure that future uses would be compatible with the neighborhood's diversity. The building's footprint does not lend itself to a conversion to multifamily units, in keeping with the present zoning, but is compatible with an office use, which is how the building was used for many years. South Bend Heritage Foundation is requesting a change to O, Office, to allow the building to be re-used in its existing configuration without substantial changes. This change will have no more impact in the West Washington neighborhood than its past use as offices; rather, the rezoning brings the property into conformance with the new zoning ordinances of the City of South Bend. NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana as follows: SECTION I: Ordinance No. 9495-04, is amended, which ordinance is commonly known as the Zoning Ordinance of the City of South Bend, Indiana, be and the same hereby is amended in order that the zoning classification of the following described real estate in the City of South Bend, St. Joseph County, State of Indiana: Lot Numbered One (1) as shown on the recorded Plat of Joseph Rockafeller's Addition to the City of South Bend, and Lot Lettered A and Lots Numbered Eleven (11) and Twelve (12) as shown on the recorded Plat of Joseph Rockafeller's Second Addition to the City of South Bend. (1045 West Washington Street) Be and the same is hereby established as O (Office). SECTION II. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Common Council, approval by the Mayor, and legal publication.
