Ordinance No. ~~ 3 -~ AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING CHAPTER 21 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE TO CORRECT THE CROSS-REFERENCES IN ARTICLES 12,13, AND 14; TO AMEND ARTICLE 2, RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS TO ALLOW PUBLIC PARKS, ACTIVE, AS ALLOWABLE USES IN THE SINGLE FAMILY AND TWO FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY ZONING DISTRICTS; TO AMEND ARTICLE 8 SPECIAL REGULATIONS, SECTION 21-08.02 SPECIAL REGULATIONS FOR CONTROLLED USES; AND TO AMEND ARTICLE 7 GENERAL REGULATIONS, SECTION 21-07.03(f) OFF-PREMISE SIGNS STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, recently adopted a new zoning ordinance for the City of South Bend. Three sections of the previous ordinance were retained in their entirety. These sections contain references to sections of the ordinance that no longer exist. This amendment will change these references to the correct sections. The intention of the Area Plan Commission and the Common Council in adopting the new ordinance was to retain the regulations for off-premise signs since these regulations had been recently modified. In drafting the new ordinance, an error was made restricting the location of billboards to only limited access roads rather than limited access roads and arterials. This amendment will also correct this error. The City also recognizes that most of its active public parks are presently located in residential districts and that it would be detrimental to the City to make all of these parks non-conforming uses. Further, the City recognizes that in order to promote the use of the downtown and East Bank area as a regional retail business and convention center, that certain controlled uses should be exempt from the locational restrictions that apply to controlled uses. Now, therefore, be it ordained by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: Section I. Chapter 21, Zoning, of the South Bend Municipal Code, Article 2 Residential Districts, Section 21-02.01 SF1 Single Family and Two Family District is hereby amended as follows: (a) Permitted Uses. (1) Primary Uses. (F) Public ^^~ Park -Active or Passive. (G) Private Park -Passive. ~'~'~^^'~ D„~.':,. ^r D~-^~'-~~'.
