JEFFERSON BLVD., ROOM 1140 COUNTY -CITY BUILDING, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 ( 5 7 4 ) 235 -9571 <br />June 4, 2012 <br />Derek Dieter, President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />Fourth Floor, County -City Building <br />227 W. Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Area Plan Commission Initiated Petition to Amend Provisions of South Bend Zoning <br />Ordinance to Allow the APC to Conduct a Combined Hearing on Rezonings, Special Use <br />Permits, Subdivisions, and Variances. <br />Dear Mr. Dieter: <br />Attached is a proposed ordinance that was initiated by the Area Plan Commission. The purpose of this <br />ordinance is to make certain amendments to that section of the Zoning Ordinance that regulates public <br />hearings before the Plan Commission. <br />Recent changes to State Statutes allow Plan Commissions to conduct a combined hearing, at the <br />request of a petitioner, where a rezoning petition also involves any or all of the following: special use <br />permit, variances and subdivisions. This process should be beneficial to both the applicants and <br />possible remonstrators in that it will reduce the number of meetings that people have to attend and yet <br />allow for public input. <br />I am requesting that the attached ordinance be placed on the June 11, 2012 Council agenda for First <br />Reading. The Area Plan Commission will hear this ordinance on June 19, 2012. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Filed in Clerk`,z Office <br />JUN - 5 2012 <br />JOHN VC ORDE <br />CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN <br />SERVING ST.
