ORDINANCE NO. ~~ J I ~~ AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE 6.5 OF CHAPTER 21 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE PROVIDING FOR CITY ADOPTION OF COUNTY LANDMARKS UPON CITY ANNEXATION OF AFFECTED LAND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT The County of St. Joseph is the site of several historic landmarks designated as such by the Historic Preservation Commission of St. Joseph County in tandem with the St. Joseph County Council, and the procedure for designating landmarks lying in St. Joseph County outside the City of South Bend's territorial limits is substantially the same as for designating landmarks within the City of South Bend.
