ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 501 SOUTH PARRY STREET, COUNCILMANIC DISTRICT 4, IN THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT In 2001 Lot 14 was located in a Business District. It was then zoned Commercial. The lot still lays in a Business District that was changed to Residential in 2002. There are Office Buildings on all sides of Lot 14 2nd Add. There is a lawn yard cutting garage across the street. The back of it lies against the Rug Company Building. There is an empty dance Studio in front of the Lot that I want to zone commercial. There is a service Station next to the Dance Studio with an empty electrical building beside the Service Garage. Our community has been around business all our lives. We were told the City was going to buy the house in our community for a development. Now the Lot has an old one staff garage on it that looks too small for the lot. I would like to rezone it commercial, build a beautiful two stall garage on Lot 14, 2nd addition. The garage would fill in the space the one stall garage does not fill in. My son can use the garage to start up a business when he graduates for Ivy Tech State College. If it doesn't work out for him and he decides to expand his business into a large garage on a larger business district, I will use the garage to make L shaped aquariums to sell on the internet. The garage will take the place of the old garage and help improve the neighborhood that I live in and help make a better looking community. NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana as follows: SECTION 1. Ordinance No. 9495-04, is amended, which ordinance is commonly known as the Zoning Ordinance of the City of South Bend, Indiana, be and the same hereby is amended in order that the zoning classification of the following described real estate in the City of South Bend, St. Joseph County, State of Indiana: Lot 14 Parry's 2nd Addition be and the same is hereby established as CB Community Business District.
