South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —June 28, 2011 <br />confirming resolution. The staff member <br />Who was working on the process left for <br />another job and until recently no one realized <br />the process had not been completed. She <br />noted that the guidelines are just that-- - <br />guidelines. They are general, but they are the <br />basis for the overlay zoning district that is <br />currently being considered to be incorporated <br />into the zoning ordinance. The overlay <br />zoning district is separate and distinct from <br />the design guidelines. <br />Ms. Jones clarified that in developing the <br />guidelines, the neighborhood was part of the <br />discussion. Ms. Maradik responded that the <br />neighborhood was involved as the guidelines <br />were developed in 2004 and in 2008 -2009 <br />the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization <br />Organization, as well neighbors, worked <br />together to redraft them. <br />Ms. Jones noted that the Commission will <br />conduct the public hearing today, as <br />advertised, but will not take action on <br />Resolution No. 2109. Instead, the public <br />hearing will be continued until the July 12, <br />2011 meeting giving staff time to notify <br />affected property owners and registered <br />neighbor associations of the hearing. <br />Mr. Gibney noted that this is a planning <br />Process that is approximately a year old. The <br />design guidelines will assist the Building <br />Department as it considers future <br />development in the Northeast Neighborhood <br />which is a mixed use neighborhood: single - <br />family, multi - family and retail. The Area <br />Plan Commission has been part of this <br />Process every step of the way and has been <br />very supportive. It will be an extremely <br />important tool for us as we redevelop other <br />neighborhoods in the city in the future for all <br />13 <br />
