Staff Resort <br />APC # <br />Owner: <br />Location: <br />2683 -13 <br />APC Initiated <br />Text Amendment <br />Jurisdiction: City of South Bend <br />Public Hearing Date: 10/15/2013 <br />9/30/2013 <br />Requested Action: <br />The requested action is a text amendment, amending various sections of Chapter 21 of <br />the South Bend Municipal Code. <br />Staff Comments: <br />The Ordinance updates the code by making the following changes: <br />*Adding provisions exempting existing structures from seeking setback variance when the <br />property has been rezoned. The buildings or structures would become legal nonconforming, <br />and would need to comply with all provisions going forward. <br />*Modifying outdoor storage screening requirements in industrial districts by not requiring to <br />buffer from adjacent industrial districts. <br />*Modifying the residential bufferyard landscaping table to reduce the type of <br />landscaping required from non - residential districts when separated from residential districts <br />by a street. <br />*Modifying the sign ordinance to allow one menu board per drive through. <br />*Correcting the swimming pool reference so that it matches the state code. <br />*Correcting incorrect citations in the PUD and sign ordinance sections. <br />Recommendation: <br />Based on information available prior to the public hearing the staff recommends that this <br />petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. <br />Analysis: <br />The text amendments address certain changes that are necessary to revise and clarify <br />various sections of the South Bend Zoning Ordinance. <br />APC # 2683 -13 Page I of I <br />
