Staff Report <br /> APC# 2598-11 <br /> Owner: APC Initiated <br /> Location: Text Amendment <br /> Jurisdiction: City of South Bend <br /> Requested Action: <br /> The requested action is a text change, amending Chapter 21 of the South Bend Municipal Code, <br /> Article 9 Administration, Section 21-09.03 Board Of Zoning Appeals and Article 14, <br /> Subdivisions, Sections 21-14.04 Minor Subdivisions, 21-14.05, Major Subdivisions, 21-14.06, <br /> Subdivision Replats, and 21-14.09(B) Variances. <br /> Additional information: <br /> Section I of the proposed ordinance amends the section of the zoning ordinance pertaining to the <br /> powers of the Board of Zoning Appeals. State statutes now give the Board the authority to place <br /> conditions upon the approval of variances. <br /> Sections II, III, and IV change the time frame for appealing subdivisions from 10 days to five <br /> days. Section V authorizes the Plat Committee or the Plan Commission the right to grant waivers <br /> from requirements of the subdivision ordinance. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that the <br /> amendments of the City of South Bend Zoning Ordinance be forwarded to the City of South Bend <br /> Common Council with a favorable recommendation. <br /> Analysis: <br /> These amendments are in response to House Enrolled Bill 1311, which included numerous <br /> changes to the state planning and development statutes. <br /> APC Initiated <br /> #2598-11 <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
