STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, adopted a new zoning ordinance that went

change and evolve. The proposed changes recognize the demand for housing alternatives within the
densely populated Central Business District. However, the proposed changes are not meant to apply to
any other Zoning Districts because any evolution of the housing market in other zoning Districts do not
require these proposed changes.
