<br />Dear Council Members:
<br />The above referenced ordinance and site development plan of South Bend Heritage
<br />Foundation, et al was legally advertised September 11, 1997. The Area Plan
<br />Commission at its public hearing on September 23, 1997, took the following
<br />action:
<br />Upon a motion by Henry Keultjes, being seconded by Joseph Serge and unanimously
<br />carried, the proposed ordinance and site development plan of South Bend Heritage
<br />Foundation, et al to zone from "A" Residential, "A" Height and Area to "B"
<br />Residential, "A" Height and Area, property located at 1218, 1220, 1224, 1228,
<br />1230 1232, 1234 W. Colfax Avenue, and 119, 121, 122 124 and 125 N. Spruce Street,
<br />City of South Bend is sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation,
<br />subject to a final site development plan. The site is adjacent to "B"
<br />Residential zoning and multi-family homes to the south. When the West Washington
<br />- Chapin Street Development area was rezoned in 1991, the area along Washington
<br />Street, where the West Washington houses are located, was zoned "B" Residential
<br />to allow for the development of a multi-family area. It is the Commission's
<br />opinion that rezoning the petition area to "B" Residential is in keeping with the
<br />overall development of this area as a multi-family node.
<br />PLEASE NOTE that the Ordinance has been amended by the petitioner and is
<br />different than that used for the Common Council's first reading. The amended
<br />Ordinance was the Ordinance legally advertised and heard by the Area Plan
<br />Commission.
<br />The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving
<br />at the above decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be
<br />forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report.
<br />Attached, for your consideration in the review of this matter, is a copy of the
<br />Area Plan Commission's Staff Report.
<br />Sincerely,
<br />1~~~~
