Southwest Corner of Wayne and William
Jurisdiction: City of South Bend
Public Hearing Date: 3/20/2018
Requested Action:
The petitioner is requesting a zone change from GB General Business District and MU
Mixed Use District to MU Mixed Use District and CBD Central Business District
Land Uses and Zoning:
On site: On the west site are vacant lots. On the east site is a parking lot and a
vacated street.
North: To the north, across Wayne, are residential properties zoned MU: Mixed
Use District.
East: To the east is an office building zoned CBD: Central Business District.
South: To the south, across Western, is Four Winds Field zoned CBD: Central
Business District, and a community center zoned MU: Mixed Use District
and GB: General Business District.
West: To the west, across Taylor, is a church zoned MU: Mixed Use District.
District Uses and Development Standards:
The MU Mixed Use District is established to promote the development of a dense urban
neighborhood center environment. The regulations are intended to encourage all the
elements of a traditional neighborhood center, including: storefront retail; professional
offices; and dwelling units located either in townhouse developments or in the upper
stories or rear of mixed-use buildings. The development standards in this district are
designed to: encourage a pedestrian oriented design throughout the district; and,maintain
an appropriate pedestrian scale,massing and relationship between buildings and structures
within the district. The CBD Central Business District is established to promote the
development of the downtown region of the City of South Bend as a center for trade,
finance, government,high density residential and entertainment districts within St. Joseph
County and north central Indiana. The regulations of this district are intended to encourage
high density, mid-rise and high rise developments which may include a mixture of
compatible urban uses. The development standards in this district, while designed to
provide for high density development, also encourage a pedestrian friendly environment
supportive of urban residential developments, retail, restaurant,theater and similar
business and cultural uses associated with major metropolitan areas.
Site Plan Description:
There's no proposed site plan for development at this time. Future development will need
to adhere to development standards for the appropriate districts.
APC# 2861-18 Page 1 of 3
Staff Report 3/9/2018
Zoning and Land Use History And Trends:
A portion of Four Winds Field,to the south,was rezoned CBD in 2015. The parcel to the
north of the existing parking lot was rezoned to CBD in 2016.
Traffic and Transportation Considerations:
Wayne,Taylor, William, and Western are all two lanes with on-street parking. Wayne and
Western have designated left turn lanes at the intersections.
Utilities:
The site will be served by municipal water and sewer.
Agency Comments:
There are no agency comments at this time.
Commitments:
The petitioner is not proposing any written commitments.
Criteria to be considered in reviewing rezoning requests, per IC 36-7-4-603:
1. Comprehensive Plan:
Policy Plan:
This petition is consistent with City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (November
2006)Policy LU 3: Increase the urban desnity of the Central Business District.
Land Use Plan:
The future Land Use Plan identifies this area as mixed use.
Plan Implementation/Other Plans:
There are no other plans in effect for this area.
2. Current Conditions and Character:
The properties in the area around the site act as a transition zone from the Central Business
District to the single-family homes to the west. Mixed-use developments help provide this
buffer between the two densities of development.
3. Most Desirable Use:
The most desirable uses for these site are mixed use developments that will compliment
the Central Business District.
4. Conservation of Property Values:
Rezoning these sites to MU: Mixed Use District and CBD: Central Business District will
not affect adjacent property's land values.
5. Responsible Development And Growth:
It is responsible development and growth to rezone these sites to MU: Mixed Use District and
CBD: Central Business District. This would allow for developments that are consistent with
the surrounding area.
Staff Comments:
The staff has no additional comments at this time.

Staff Report 3/12/2018
evidence presented at a public hearing,that:
1)The proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort,
community moral standards, convenience or general welfare;
The proposed use,which has currently existed on the site,will have no impact on the
public health, safety and, general welfare of the community.
2) The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area
or property values therein;
The current use,which will continued to be allowed by the approval of this special use,
and adoption of the written commitment to limit uses to those found in the LI: Light
Industrial District plus wrecker service will not have any additional adverse affect on the
use and value of the adjacent properties.
3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is
located and the land uses authorized therein;
The use will be consistent with the industrial nature of the Olive Street Corridor.
4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The use is consistent with City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan(November 2006)
Policy ED 7.3: Support neighborhood-economic opportunities as identified in area-specific
plans.
The petitioner is seeking the following variance(s):
1) from the required 30'minimum front yard and building setback to 0'
2)from the required 100'minimum side residential bufferyard to 0'
3) from the required screening of outdoor storage to none
4)to allow barbed wire on a fence located between the front fagade of the primary building
and the front lot line
5)to allow a fence and storage area within the minimum 10' clear sight area
6) from the required landscaping of required perimeter yards and residential bufferyards to
none
7)from the required foundation landscaping to none
8)from the required parking area screening to none
9) from the required 11 parking spaces to 0
State statutes and the Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be met
before a variance can be approved. The standards and their justifications are as follows:
1)The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety,morals and general
welfare of the community;
The proposed variances will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community.
2) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance
APC# 2862-18 Page 3 of 4
Staff Report 3/12/2018
will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner;
Approving the variances to continue to let the site function as it currently has will not
adversely affect the use or value of adjacent properties.
3) The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property
The strict application of the landscaping,parking, and setbacks would create an undo
hardship on the property owner to dramatically alter their site after it has been used in its
existing state for some time.
Staff Comments:
The right angle (perpendicular)parking could be replaced with parallel parking suitable for
the use and area. When the Olive Street improvements are made,the petitioner is
encouraged to establish the appropriate sidewalk along their portion of Calvert street in
order to properly connect the neighborhood to the pedestrian path created.
Recommendation:
Based on information available prior to the public hearing the staff recommends sending
the rezoning petition and Special Exception Use to the Common Council with a favorable
recommendation subject to the written commitment. The staff recommends approval of the
variances, subject to removing the right angle (perpendicular)parking in the public right-
of-way.
Analysis:
Rezoning the site to GI: General Industrial will follow the trend of uses to the north of the
site. The approval of the variances and special exception use would allow the site to
continue to function as it already has.

RE: March 2018 Appropriation Ordinance–Civil City Funds–SUBSTITUTE BILL#16-18
Dear President Scott,
During the past several years, it has been the practice of the City of South Bend to request department

the adopted city budget and propose necessary adjustments periodically throughout the year. For 2018,

Based on our budget review, we are submitting the enclosed additional appropriation ordinance for your
consideration. The substitute version includes an additional request for Parks, Capital Projects and the
Liability Fund which were inadvertently left off of the original version.
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and council meetings. It is
requested that this bill be filed for 1St reading on March 12, 2018 with 2nd reading, public hearing and
3rd reading scheduled for March 26, 2018.

RE: March 2018 Appropriation Ordinance– Enterprise Funds–SUBSTITUTE BILL#17-,18PK,SOUTH BEND,IN
Dear President Scott,
During the past several years, it has been the practice of the City of South Bend to request department
heads, fiscal staff and city administration to conduct an extensive review of the status of compliance with
the adopted city budget and propose necessary adjustments periodically throughout the year. For 2018,
we plan to propose adjustments during four time periods—March, June, October and December.
Based on our budget review, we are submitting the enclosed additional appropriation ordinance for your
consideration. The substitute includes an additional request for Century Center which was inadvertently
left off the original version.
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and council meetings. It is
requested that this bill be filed for 1St reading on March 12, 2018 with 2nd reading, public hearing and
3rd reading scheduled for March 26, 2018.
Thank you for your attention to this request. If you should have any questions, please feel to contact me
at 574-235-9822.

commendations or complaints regarding officers assigned to Metro Units will be directed to the

and act accordingly.
Section 3.10. Overtime. The parties understand that SBPD officers assigned to the Metro
Unit may have "on-call" responsibilities and may be required to work after-hours to conduct
investigations. The Chief or his/her designee will coordinate with the Metro Unit commander to
set overtime guidelines. The Chief will review overtime usage on a monthly basis. If the Chief
sets a specific limit on the number of overtime hours which may be worked, overtime hours
surpassing that number set by the Chief will not be approved. The Chief or his/her designee will
notify the Metro Unit commander if budgetary concerns arise or there is need to reduce the
number of overtime hours previously established by the Chief.
Page 5
Section 3.11 Reports and Files. A Metro Unit supervisor must review and approve all
investigative reports, which are prepared and submitted by Metro Unit Investigators. Once
approved, all investigative reports will become a part of a numbered investigative file. The Metro
Unit Investigators may utilize their own investigative report format provided they conform to the
criteria outlined by the Metro Unit commander. All investigative reports and related documents,
civil or criminal, will be considered permanent records of the Metro Unit. The Metro Unit is
responsible for maintaining a readily accessible copy of every Metro Unit-generated investigative
report. Any public requests for access to the records or any disclosures of information obtained
by Metro Unit Investigators will be handled by the Prosecutor, in accordance with applicable
statutes,regulations, and policies pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act,
Access to Public Records Act, and other applicable State and federal statutes or regulations.
Reports properly requested by Internal Affairs or the City Legal Department will be provided by

involved,locations, vehicles used and any other relevant information deemed law enforcement

Strategy Sessions (L.E.S.S.) meeting dissemination, and in person to fellow law enforcement

to come within a few feet of the two existing adjacent homes. Both homes are owned by the
petitioners, and they desire to increase the safety in the use of their properties through the
proposed vacation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to give me a call at 234-

The ordinance also establishes factors the City will consider in determining ifFif
a bidder is a"responsible"bidder.

Sixth District This ordinance reflects the City's experience in factors it has determined to
meet minimum requirements to be a"responsive and responsible"bidder.
Gavin Ferlic The goal is to assure the efficient use of taxpayer dollars and to promote
At Large
public safety. The ordinance will also ensure that no contractor or
John Voorde subcontract working on Public Works projects will engage in payroll fraud,
At Large tax fraud, including the misclassification of employees as independent

ORDINANCE NO. ______________
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, AMENDING CHAPTER 6 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE
TO INCLUDE A NEW ARTICLE 13 ESTABLISHING RESPONSIBLE BIDDING
PRACTICES
AND SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ON PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend (“City”) is required by State law to award capital
improvement contracts to the “lowest responsive and responsible” bidder (IC §36-1-12-
4(b)(8)). The City pursuant to (IC 36-1-12-4(b)(10)) considers the following factors when
determining whether a bidder is a “responsive” bidder: (a) whether the bidder has submitted a
bid or quote that conforms in all material respects to the specifications; (b) whether the bidder
has submitted a bid that complies specifically with the invitation to bid and the instructions to
bidders; and (c) whether the bidder has complied with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
resolutions, or rules pertaining to the award of a public contract. The City pursuant to Indiana
Code 36-1-12-4(b)(11) considers the following factors when determining whether a bidder is
a “responsible” bidder: (a) the ability and capacity of the bidder to perform the work; (b) the
integrity, character, and reputation of the bidder; and (c) the competence and experience of
the bidder. State law also requires that bidders meet certain minimum requirements in order
to be a “responsive and responsible” bidder.
The City, based upon its experience, has determined that quality workmanship,
efficient operation, safety, and timely completion of projects requires all bidders to meet
minimum requirements in order to be a “responsive and responsible” bidder. The City seeks
to enhance its ability to identify “responsive and responsible” bidders on all City public
works projects by instituting more comprehensive submission requirements which are in
compliance with State law.
This “Responsible Bidding Practices and Submission Requirements” Ordinance will
assure efficient use of taxpayer dollars, will promote public safety, and is in the public
interest. This Ordinance will also help ensure that no contractor awarded work under this
Ordinance, or any subcontractor working on a project award pursuant to this Ordinance,
engages in payroll fraud, tax fraud, including the misclassification of employees as
independent contractors to avoid paying state, federal or local payroll taxes, workers’
compensation insurance, unemployment insurance premiums and failing to pay overtime and
wages as required by law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE
COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. Chapter 6 (Building) of the South Bend Municipal Code is hereby amended
to add a new Article 13 that shall read in its entirety as follows:
2

a statement made under oath and subject to perjury laws, on a form designated by the City and
must include:
(1) A copy of a print-out of the Indiana Secretary of State’s on-line records for the bidder
dated within sixty (60) days of the submission of said document showing that the bidder is

eligible for a certificate of good standing. If the bidder is an individual, sole proprietor or
partnership, this subsection shall not apply;
(2) A list identifying all former business names;
(3) Any determinations by a court or governmental agency for violations of federal, state,
or local laws including, but not limited to violations of contracting or antitrust laws, tax or
licensing laws, environmental laws, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), or
federal Davis-Bacon and related Acts, within the preceding five years;
(4) A statement on staffing capabilities, including labor sources. This statement shall
include whether the bidder has sufficient employees on staff to complete the work it is
bidding. If not, the bidder shall outline how it intends to meet the staffing needs of the
work;
(5) A statement that individuals who will perform work on the public work project on behalf
of the bidder will be properly classified as an employee or as an independent contractor
under all applicable state and federal laws and local ordinances;
(6) Evidence of participation in apprenticeship and training programs, applicable to the
work to be performed on the project, which are approved by and registered with the United
States Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship, or its successor organization.
Copies of all applicable apprenticeship certificates or standards for these training programs
may be requested at any time and shall be furnished upon request;
(7) A copy of a written plan for employee drug testing that: (i) covers all employees of the
bidder who will perform work on the public work project; and (ii) meets, or exceeds, the
requirements set forth in IC 4-13-18-5 or IC 4-13-18-6;
(8)(i) A statement that the contractor submitting a bid or quote on a public work project of
the City; and all subcontractors from whom the bidder has accepted a bid and/or intends to
hire to perform work, on the public work project, are properly licensed;
(ii) A bidder not so licensed shall be rejected as nonresponsive to the bid or quote
request, or the bidder or quoter shall be determined to be a nonresponsible bidder or
quoter. It shall be the bidder’s or quoter’s responsibility to check with the City Building
Department to make sure it and all subcontractors have all necessary licenses to
3
undertake the work called for in the bid or quote The bidder shall immediately remove
any subcontractor not so licensed;
(9) Evidence that the contractor is utilizing a surety company which is on the United States
Department of Treasury’s Listing of Approved Sureties as required in the bid specifications
or contract;
(10) A written statement of any federal, state or local tax liens or tax delinquencies owed
to any federal, state or local taxing body in the preceding three years; and,
(11) A list of projects of similar size and scope of work that the bidder has performed in
all areas, including the State of Indiana, within three (3) years prior to the date on which
the bid is due.
(b) The City reserves the right to request supplemental information from the bidder,
additional verification of any information provided by the bidder, and may also conduct
random inquiries of the bidder’s current and prior customers.
Sec. 6-64. Post-bid submissions.
(a) All bidders shall collect, maintain, and provide upon request, a current written list that
discloses the name, address, licensing status, and type of work for any subcontractor from
whom the bidder has accepted a bid and/or intends to hire on any part of the public work project,
including individuals performing work as independent contractors.
(b) Each subcontractor, whose portion of the project is estimated to be at least one-hundred
fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00), shall be required to adhere to the requirements of Section
I of this Ordinance as though it were bidding directly to the City, except that the subcontractor
shall submit the required information (including the name, address, and type of work) to the
successful bidder prior to the commencement of work.
(c) Failure of a subcontractor to submit the required information shall not disqualify the
successful bidder from performing work on the project and shall not constitute a contractual
default and/or breach by the successful bidder. However, the City may withhold all payments
otherwise due for work performed by a subcontractor, until the subcontractor submits the
required information and the City approves such information.
(d) The disclosure of a subcontractor list (“Disclosed Subcontractor(s)”) to the City by a bidder
shall not create any rights in the Disclosed Subcontractor(s). Thus, a bidder may substitute
another subcontractor for a Disclosed Subcontractor by giving the City, upon request, written
notice of the name, address, licensing status, and type of work of the substitute subcontractor.
Sec. 6-65. Validity of pre-qualification classification.
Upon designation by the City that a contractor's submission in anticipation of a bid is complete
and timely, and upon any further consideration deemed necessary by the City, the contractor
may be pre-qualified for future City public works projects. A contractor's classification as
"qualified" shall exempt the contractor from the comprehensive submission requirements
outlined in Section 6.63(a) of this Article for a period of twelve (12) months, excepting
subsections 6.63(a)(1), (a)(4), (a)(9) and (a)(11) which shall be submitted for every bid
4
submission . Thereafter, contractors who are pre-qualified must submit a complete application
for continuation of "pre-qualified" standing, on a form provided by the City, (also referred to
as the "short form") by December 31st for the upcoming calendar year. Failure by any pre-
qualified contractor to timely submit its complete application for continuation of "pre-
qualified" standing shall result in automatic removal of the designation, effective January 1 of
the upcoming year. However, the "removed" contractor or subcontractor shall still be
permitted to bid on City public works projects.
Sec. 6-66. Incomplete submissions by bidders.
It is the sole responsibility of the potential bidder to comply with all submission requirements
applicable to the bidder in Section 6.63 of this Article by no later than the public bid opening.
Post-bid submissions must be submitted in accordance with foregoing Section 6.65 of this
Article. Submissions deemed inadequate, incomplete, or untimely by the City may result in
the automatic disqualification of the bid.
Sec. 6-67. Responsive and responsible bidder determination.
The City, after review of complete and timely submissions, shall, in its sole discretion, after
taking into account all information in the submission requirements, determine whether a bidder
is responsive and responsible. The City specifically reserves the right to utilize all information
provided in the contractor’s submission or any information obtained by the City through its
own independent verification of the information provided by the contractor.
Sec. 6-68. Certified payroll.
For any projects estimated to be at least one-hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00) or
more, the successful bidder and all subcontractors working on a public works project are
required to submit to the awarding agency, and general contractor if applicable, a detailed
certified payroll utilizing the federal form now known as WH-347 or a similar form on a
biweekly basis, unless different payroll reporting requirements are stated under the bid
specifications or contract. The certified payroll must be prepared on a biweekly basis and
submitted to the City within ten (10) calendar days after the end of each biweekly payroll period
in which the bidder or subcontractor performed its work on the public works. The certified
payroll reports shall identify the job title and craft of each employee on the project.
The City may withhold payments due for work performed by a bidder if the bidder or
subcontractor fails to submit its certified payroll reports timely or until such certified payroll
reports are submitted.
Sec. 6-69. Public records
All information submitted by a bidder or a subcontractor pursuant to this Article, including
certified payrolls, are public records subject to review pursuant to the Indiana Access to Public
Records Act (IC 5-14-3) and any other applicable disclosure laws.
Sec. 6-70. Penalties for false, deceptive, or fraudulent statements/information
(a) Any bidder that willfully makes, or willfully causes to be made, a false, deceptive or
5
fraudulent statement, or willfully submits false, deceptive or fraudulent information in
connection with any submission made to the City shall be disqualified from bidding on all City
projects for a period of three (3) years.
(b) For projects that fall under the requirements of Section 6-68 of this Article, the City may
engage in an audit and/or verification process of the information provided. To the extent that
material errors are identified, the City may do the following;
(i) Require the bidder to reimburse the City the actual cost of the audit;
(ii) Assess a penalty of up to $2,500, it being determined that each material error
constitutes a separate violation of this Ordinance.
Secs. 6-71 –6.73. Reserved.
SECTION II. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance is found to be invalid, the
remaining provisions of this Ordinance shall not be affected by such a determination. These
other provisions of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect without the invalid
provision.
SECTION III. Implementation Date.
The Board of Public Works shall apply this ordinance on all applicable bids advertised on or
after July 1, 2018.
SECTION IV. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after the date of
