SANTE Assistant Director / 1140 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING, SOUTH BEND, IN.46601 (219)235-9571 FAX(219)235-9813 March 22, 1995 The Honorable Common Council City of South Bend County-City Bldg. - 4th Floor South Bend, IN 46601 RE: A proposed ordinance and site development plan of South Bend Heritage Foundation and South Bend Redevelopment Commission to zone from "B" Residential and "C" Commercial, "A" and "B" Height and Area to "B" Residential, "C" Height and Area, property located on the east side of the 1200 block of Fellows St. , south side of the 500 block of Wenger St. , west side of the 1200 block of Rush Street, and both sides of the 500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, City of South Bend - APC #1657-95 Dear Council Members: The above referenced ordinance and site development plan of South Bend Heritage Foundation and South Bend Redevelopment Commission was legally advertised on March 9, 1995. The Area Plan Commission at its public hearing on March 21, 1995, took the following action: Upon a motion by Bruce Huntington, being seconded by Joseph Serge and unanimously carried, the proposed ordinance and site development plan of South Bend Heritage Foundation and South Bend Redevelopment Commission to zone from "B" Residential and "C" Commercial, "A" and "B" Height and Area to "B" Residential, "C" Height and Area, property located on the east side of the 1200 block of Fellows St., south side of the 500 block of Wenger St., west side of the 1200 block of Rush Street, and both sides of the 500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, City of South Bend is sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation, subject to a final site development plan. The majority of the property is presently zoned "B" Residential with a portion in the northwest corner zoned "C" Commercial. Since the surrounding area is predominantly zoned "B" Residential, this petition would not create adverse impacts, but rather would help to revive the neighborhood in which it is located. The change to "C" Height and Area is required to allow duplex apartments to be placed on the site as specified on the Site Plan without having to obtain setback variances on each parcel. In the Commission's opinion, the proposed rezoning is appropriate and will have a substantial positive effect on the neighborhood. PLEASE NOTE that the Ordinance has been amended by the petitioner and is different than that used for the Common Council's first reading. The amended Ordinance was the Ordinance legally advertised and heard by the Area Plan Commission.
