`f~- ZONING & ANNEXATION COMMITTEE
March 22, 2010
The March 22, 2010 meeting of the Zoning and Annexation Committee of the South Bend
Common Council was called to order by its Chairperson Council Member AI "Buddy" Kirsits at
5:07 p.m., in the Informal Meeting Room, 4th Floor County-City Building, 227 W. Jefferson Blvd.,
South Bend, Indiana
Committee Members Present: Tom LaFountain, Oliver Davis, David Varner
Other Council Present: Derek Dieter, Henry Davis, Ann Puzzello, Karen White,
Tim Rouse
Others Present: Gerald Phipps, Troyer Group; Christa Nayder, Area Plan
Agenda: Bill No. 01-10 -Rezone Kroc Center
AI "Buddy" Kirsits, Chairperson, Zoning and Annexation Committee Chair allowed Christa Nayder,
Staff Member, Area Plan Commission to detail the proposed rezoning of the property where the
Kroc Center will be located and a parcel for parking across Western Avenue to the north. The
zoning requested and subsequently favorably recommend after a hearing is for a Planned Unit
Development {PUD). This designation is said to allow the City, therefore the Council, more
control over how the PUD area is developed.
Following the APC recounting of their judgment Chairperson Kirsits recognized Gerald Phipps of
the Troyer Group, an architectural, engineering firm representing the Salvation Army. Following
his brief development outline the Council asked questions regarding a wide range of socio-
economicdevelopment issues. While there was general agreement that these issues needed to
be addressed Chairperson Kirsits ultimately, limited the hearing focus to appropriate land use, a
very narrow focus.
In that light Councilmember Oliver Davis moved for favorable recommendation to full Council.
Councilmember LaFountain seconded and all but Henry Davis affirmed.
There being no further business to come before the Committee at this time, Chairperson AI
"Buddy" Kirsits adjourned the meeting at 5:38 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
