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 />
