Staff Resort <br />APC # 2527-09 <br />®wner: APC Initiated <br />Location: Text Amendment <br />Jurisdictioh: City of South Bend <br />Requested Action: <br />A proposed ordinance initiated by the Area Plan Commission, amending Chapter 21 of the South <br />Bend Municipal Code, Article 5 Planned Unit Development District, Section 21-OS Planned Unit <br />Development District, to revise the criteria used in determining major/minor changes to approved <br />site plans and removing the time limits to obtain secondary approval. <br />Additional information: <br />Planned Unit Developments are large, multi-year projects which typically take a long time to <br />complete. Limiting the time that final developments can be approved has no additional public <br />benefit since all requirements of a PUD must be adhered to. Therefore, staff sees no need to <br />impose a time limit. <br />Certain criteria that would determine amajor/minor change to an existing Planned Unit <br />Development site plan were removed. More latitude can be given administratively for changes <br />without having the petition go through the rezoning process again. <br />Recommendation: <br />Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that the petition <br />be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. <br />Analysis: <br />Limiting the time that final developments can be approved has no additional public benefit since <br />all requirements of a PUD must be adhered to. Certain adjustments to height, area, bulk and <br />intensity that do not affect surrounding properties can now be done without a new zoning petition. <br />APC Initiated <br />#2527-09 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
