JONES <br />CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />June 8, 2022 <br />Sharon McBride <br />President, <br />Common Council of the City of South Bend <br />227 W. Jefferson Blvd.; Ste 4005 <br />South Bend, [N 46601 <br />Dear President McBride, <br />I am pleased to submit to you amendments to various sections of Chapter 17, Article 10 of the <br />South Bend Municipal Code that address System Development Charges (SDC). These charges <br />cover the cost of connecting new customers to the City's water or sewer utility service and are also <br />applied to existing customers for their new uses that would materially change the demands on the <br />City's water and/or sewer utility. <br />Changes proposed in the attached ordinance are part of Mayor Mueller's strategy to ease the ability <br />of property owners to build residential infill developments in neighborhoods. The changes in the <br />ordinance include, among others, the waiver of SDC for developments of five or fewer residential <br />units. For residential infill developments of five or more units constructed by non -for -profits or <br />supported by low-income housing tax credits, the SDC will also be waived. <br />I will be presenting this ordinance to the Council at its Committees and regular meetings and will <br />be happy to respond to questions at that time. <br />Sincerely, <br />Eric Horvath <br />Director, Public Works <br />EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITYINNOVATION INCLUSION' EMPOWERMENT <br />1316 County -City Building 227W Jefferson Blvd. South Bend, Indiana 46601 p574.235.9251 f574.235.9171 www.southbendin.gov <br />
