Mathews <br /> Building Commissioner <br /> June 3, 1986 <br /> Common Council Members <br /> 4th Floor, County-City Building <br /> South Bend , Indiana 46601 <br /> Dear Council Members : <br /> The attached Ordinance proposes amendments to two (2) sections <br /> of the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 21, of the South Bend Municipal <br /> Code . These amendments are being introduced to correct an in- <br /> consistency in the Code and to make the dimensions of required <br /> off-street parking spaces more realistic with current parking <br /> needs . . <br /> The inconsistency in the Code occurs in Section 21-1(a) ( 45) , <br /> which defines off-street parking spaces . The Code states that <br /> spaces will have a useable area containing a minimum of two <br /> hundred (200) square feet, having at least dimensions of appro- <br /> ximately nine (9) by twenty (20) feet. If a parking space had <br /> dimensions of nine (9) by twenty (20) feet, the space would have <br /> one hundred eighty (180) square feet, not two hundred (200) <br /> square feet, as currently stated in the Ordinance. Therefore, <br /> the amendment to Section 21-1(a) (45) proposes changing the use- <br /> able area for a parking space to one hundred eighty (180) square <br /> feet. <br /> The second proposed amendment changes Section 21-99(a) to also <br /> reflect the minimum area needed for a parking space to be one <br /> hundred eighty (180) square feet. The decrease in size for <br /> required off-street parking spaces will provide an adequate size <br /> parking space to accomodate the standard size vehicle. <br />
