ORDINANCE NO. 1 0'52'� — II
AN ORDINANCE INITIATED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
BEND, INDIANA AMENDING CHAPTER 21 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICPAL CODE,
ARTICLE 3 BY ADDING MINI (SELF STORAGE) WAREHOUSE, INTERNAL ACCESS
TO PERMITTED USES IN CB COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT, CBD CENTRAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT,AND GB GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT; AND ESTABLISHING
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR MINI (SELF STORAGE)
WAREHOUSE, INTERNAL ACCESS; AND ADDING A DEFINITION FOR MINI (SELF
STORAGE) WAREHOUSE, INTERNAL ACCESS.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, adopted a new zoning ordinance that
went into effect on May 7, 2004. Since the adoption of the ordinance, various changes have been
needed to address uses not otherwise included in the ordinance. With increased demand for mini
(self storage)warehouse facilities, more businesses are seeking to reuse vacant commercial space
as storage facilities.These facilities do not present the same impact as traditional mini(self storage)
warehouse uses because they are typically contained within the existing commercial structure with
minimal change to the outward appearance of the building,allowing them to blend in with existing
commercial development. The proposed ordinance establishes a framework and provisions for
such uses within the existing commercial districts.
