Dieter Dear Council Members: First District At the last Zoning and Annexation Committee meeting where we continued Charlotte D. Pfeifer discussions on Substitute Bill No. 47-OS which is the proposed text amendment Second District ordinance to Chapter 21 of the South Bend Municipal Code, there appeared to be Roland Kelly a consensus to separate out the parking and signage requirements for further study Third District and discussion. Ann Puzzello I have therefore asked the Area Plan Staff to draft a 2d Substitute Bill No. 47-05. Fourth District Mr. John Byorni, Executive Director of Area Plan has been working very closely with us and delivered the 2d Substitute Bill No. 47-OS this morning which I am David Varner attaching. It deletes the proposed parking and signage requirements, so that we Fifth District may go forward on the remainder of the ordinance. You will note that at that Committee meeting, Building Commissioner Don Fozo noted that he is anxious to Ervin Kuspa move ahead with the other requirements in light of several significant projects. Sixth District There appeared to be no major concerns from the Council on the items which Al "Buddy' Kirsics remain in the attached version. At Large It is my understanding the if the Common Council would pass 2d Substitute Bill Timothy A. Rouse No. 47-OS that it would then be returned to the Area Plan Commission pursuant to At Large the provisions of Indiana Code § 36-7-4-607(f)(4), along with this written statement setting forth the reasons for the amendment. Karen L. White At Large ~ light of the continuing concerns which several Council Members have Kathleen Cekanski-Farra~C~pressed on several occasions with regard to enforcement of the parking Council Attorney regulations, city-wide concerns in areas where there is already limited parking, possible equal protection concerns regarding signage requirements, and related concerns, the Council believes that more research, study and discussion must take place. It is anticipated that a separate text amendment ordinance would be initiated on those items at a later time.
