Amongst individuals and residential developers, there is a renewed interest not only in converting older, often larger homes back to single - family, but also building new construction within areas of our City currently restricted by zoning for more intensive uses. The proposed changes in this ordinance, broadens the areas within our City where those interested in reversions or new builds would undertake a less onerous process for building approval within Multi- Family 1 and Multi - Family 2 districts, and adds the potential for single family dwellings within Mixed Use Districts as a special exempted use. The proposed ordinance expansions on permitted and special exempted uses as it pertains to single family dwellings have been collaboratively drafted and reviewed with members of the Area Plan Commission, as well as, the City of South Bend Department of Community Investment's planning staff and attorneys in the Department of Law. I respectively request the Common Council schedule this proposed ordinance for first reading at the scheduled July 11 meeting so that the Bill can be sent to the Area Plan Commission and to the Council's Zoning and Annexation Committee, with 2nd reading, public hearing and 3' reading at the August 22 Common Council meeting.
