(12) Building Design and Orientation.
(A) Orientation.
Primary fagades shall be oriented to the front lot line. When on
a corner lot, the primary fagade shall be oriented to the primary
street.
ii. The primary building entrance shall be located on the front
fagade.
(B) Articulation and Activation.
Front fagades greater than fifty (50) feet in width shall provide
articulation as follows:
a. Vertical articulation, such as bays, columns, pilasters,
recessed entries, awnings, or other architectural
treatments, is required to visually break up the massing
of the fagade into segments no greater than 25 feet in
width.
b. Horizontal articulation, such as belt courses, cornice
lines, entablatures, friezes, changes in materials or
window patterns, recessed entries, awnings or canopies,
or other architectural treatments, is required.
ii. For commercial and mixed-use buildings, the minimum front
fagade surface that shall be glazed (window and door surface
area) is as follows:
a. Ground floor front fagade surface along a primary street
— sixty (60) percent;
b. Ground floorfrontfagade surface along a secondary
street or civic space — forty (40) percent;
C. Upper floor front fagade surface along a primary street —
fifteen (15) percent.
The ground floor front fagade glazing is calculated based on the
total fagade area between two (2) and eight (8) feet above the
finished ground floor level. The upper floor front fagade
surface area is calculated based on the total fapade area located
between the surface of any floor to the surface of the floor
above it or the elevation of the roof [Windows and doors shall
have clear (untinted) glass and shall be open to the interior (not
faux).....
Commented [DM1]: Clear glass on multifamily buildings
will likel not pass our state energy codes. We typically use
"Low E 2" coatings, which do contain a brownish tint (but
usually not significant). Low E 3 coatings, typically green in
color, are also soinetimes used, especially on south facing
commercial buildines. Is this intended to ban that?
Commented [AMS2R1]: This is a great discussion point.
At this time, this language is used in other sections of the
ordinance and could be interpreted fairly broadly (i.e, not
interpreted to prohibit energy efficient coating provided the
intent was meant that you could still see through the
window). Because this might affect multiple sections of the
ordinance, we'd like to wait to address it in the 2020 update
iii. Except for civic buildings, the distance between building entries
shall not exceed 100'.
iv. A walkway shall connect from the sidewalk to the primary
entrance.
(C) Building Materials.
L Additions to Existing Buildings: All additions to existing
buildings shall utilize building materials that are compatible
and harmonious with the materials used on the existing
building.
ii. Exterior Renovations, Major Additions and Accessory
Buildings: Exterior renovations, major additions and accessory
buildings to existing buildings or facilities are encouraged to
comply with the provisions in sub -Section (iii), below, for new
construction, however, the minimum requirement for exterior
renovations, major additions and accessory buildings shall be
the same as in sub -Section (i), above, for additions to existing
buildings.
iii. New Construction: In order to create variation and interest in
the built environment, all new primary buildings shall comply
with one (1) of the following two (2) sets of architectural
regulations regarding building material and architectural
features on each frontfa�ade:
a. All brick or stone (limestone, granite, etc.), excluding
window, display window, door, roofing, fascia and soffit
materials, provided that the brick or stone used on each
applicable faVade shall include at least two (2)
architectural elements (e.g., quoins, pilasters, soldier
courses, lintels, friezes, cornices, dentils, architraves,
etc.); or,
b. Two (2) or more building materials (excluding window,
display window, door and roofing materials), provided:
1. Primary Building Material: The primary
building material shall be either: brick; stone
(limestone, granite, etc.); synthetic equivalents of
brick or stone; architectural pre -cast concrete, if
the surface looks like brick or_aa neral stone;
traditional lime -based stucco; or fiber cement,
and shall constitute a minimum of sixty-six (66)
percent of each applicable fagade excluding
glazed surfaces. Exterior insulation and finish
system (E.I.F.S.) or equivalent; vinyl; or
standard, fluted, or split face concrete masonry
units (CMUs) are prohibited as a primary
building material.
Secondary Building Material: The secondary
building material shall constitute a minimum of
ten (10) percent of the fagade excluding glazed
surfaces. Glass curtain wall may qualify as a
secondary building material.
Architectural Features: In addition, the exterior
building material selection shall be
supplemented with the use of multiple colors or
architectural elements (e.g., quoins, pilasters,
soldier courses, lintels, friezes, cornices, dentils,
architraves, etc.) on each front fagade.
iv. Building materials used on the front fagade shall extend a
minimum depth of sixteen (16) inches along the side fagade as
measured from the face of the front fagade.

The Honorable Council of the City of South Bend

RE: An ordinance initiated by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, amending Chapter 21 of

Upon a motion by John R. McNamara, being seconded by John DeLee and carried, a proposed

in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report.

APC #
2898-19
Owner:
initiated by Common Council
Location:
Text Amendment
Jurisdiction:
City of South Bend
Public Hearing Date: 6/18/2019
Requested Action:
An Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, Amending
Chapter 21 of the South Bend Municipal Code, Article 3 Commercial/Mixed Use Districts
to Repeal and Replace Section 21-03.06 CBD Central Business District.
Staff Comments:
This ordinance was drafted to simplify regulations and stimulate development in the heart of
South Bend. Experience using the Ordinance's provisions for the CBD Central Business
District has shown that development in this district is unable to meet its full potential
through efficient use of sites and development of standards to better support a vibrant public
realm. The new CBD District seeks to promote a high intensity urban center with a mixture
of mid -rise and high-rise mixed-use developments and pedestrian -oriented scale.
Recommendation:
Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that the
petition be sent to the Common Council with a FAVORABLE recommendation.
Analysis:
This ordinance revises uses and development standards to better support the development of
a mixed-use urban core having pedestrian -oriented design, characteristics appropriate for the
urban center of a multicounty region.
