CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK Mr. Divita replied, That is not a part of the proposal here but yes we have worked with the Board of Public Works and I know there has been work on that the last couple of years. Committeemember Jo M. Broden asked, How is near transit defined? How will this ordinance adjust and be updated as those transit locations change? How does this have that flexibility going forward? Mr. Divita replied, In relation to public transit lines, it is within 1,000 feet of the line. In a sense, it is a general principle of how far people are willing to walk.It is a little bit short of a quarter mile. We regard that as a very reasonable number and a standard acceptable number. TFANSPO does make some adjustments to its line but at the same time, those lines especially along the major corridor are fairly static of where they are. Ms. Smith stated, And you can only swap ten percent (10%) of it. So if you are required twenty (20) spaces, you can't just say you don't need any spaces. So there is a cap it just allows you to reduce it. Committeemember Voorde asked, Do you allow double counting? Say if there are two (2) businesses and they both have a little off-street parking? Mr.Divita replied,In the Ordinance,it just applies to what is on that property and the spots directly in front of the business. There is no double counting. Ms. Smith stated, One (1) of the other provisions we did update is minimum parking to include nearby lots given the proper documentation. Committee Chair Davis stated, I'm at peace. Committee Chair Davis then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the legislation. There were none. He then turned the floor back to the Committee for further comment or main motion. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No. 24-18 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Broden seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of four(4) ayes. Bill No. 18-15- 122 Milton Street- Special Exception Use Bill No. 18-24- 112 E. Indiana Ave- Special Exception Use Ms. Smith stated, These two (2) properties, both 122 Milton Street and 112 E. Indiana have gone through the Area Board of Zoning Appeals. One (1) in April and May 2018 were when they came through for the special exception request. Both are properties that the petitioner is looking to continue using as duplexes. The ordinance allows up to a two(2)-family unit as a special exception in the Single-Family Districts and that is what they are seeking here. This (referencing a slide in the presentation available in the City Clerk's Office) is the property. And then the other property at 112 E. Indiana used to be a triplex at one(1)point but it has expired so they are coming through to get the appropriate approvals. 122 Milton Street came with no recommendation because the Area Board of Zoning Appeals had a split vote.
