The Honorable Common Council

RE: A proposed ordinance of Tim Mathias to zone from "A" Residential , "A" Height
and Area to "A-1 Residential , "B" Height and Area, property located at 925
West Washington Street , City of South Bend - APC #1461-92
Dear Council Members:
The above referenced ordinance of Tim Mathias was legally advertised July 9,
1992 and July 11, 1992. The Area Plan Commission at its public hearing on July
21 , 1992, took the following action:
Upon a motion by Willie Morgan, being seconded by Joseph Zappia and unanimously
carried, the proposed ordinance of Tim Mathias to zone from "A" Residential, "A"
Height and Area to "A-1" Residential, "B" Height and Area, property located at
925 West Washington Street, City of South Bend is sent to the Common Council with
a favorable recommendation. The site abuts "A-1" zoning to the north, and lies
adjacent to another two-family residence. In addition, this proposal would
preserve an historically significant structure. In the Commission's opinion, the
proposed rezoning would not be detrimental to the surrounding area.
PLEASE NOTE that the Ordinance has been amended by the petitioner and is
different than that used for the Common Council 's first reading. The amended
Ordinance was the Ordinance legally advertised and heard by the Area Plan
Commission.
The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving
at the above decision are shown 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.
Attached, for your consideration in the review of this matter, is a copy of the
Area Plan Commission's Staff Report.
Sincerely,
Richard S. Johnson

Revitalization Project, Inc.
RECEIVED
July 20, 1992 JUL v 1992
AREA PLAN
Area Plan Commission COMM.
.
11th Floor County-City Building
South Bend, IN 46601
RE: Request to Rezone Property at 945 West Washington
Dear Commissioners:
At the July, 1 1992 meeting of the Board of Directors of the West Washington-Chapin Revitalization
Project, Inc. the proposed rezoning of a lot located a 925 West Washington, South Bend was
discussed. It was presented to the Board that the lot is zoned A - Residential.
A project was discussed that includes relocating a house from 901 West Thomas Street to the lot at
925 West Washington. If this house is not moved it will be demolished to provide space for the
erection of the new history museum being constructed by the Northern Indiana Historical Society and
St. Joseph County. The Thomas Street house is historically (constructed in 1868) and
architecturally (rated 11) significant.
In order to make the project financially feasible, it is proposed that an apartment be included in
the house making it a two family dwelling. This would not be in accordance with the present
zoning. After some discussion, the Board voted to support the request for rezoning to A-1,
Residential, two family. The reasoning for this was:
1. It is a significant structure and every effort should be made to preserve it;
2. It will help stabilize the 900 block of West Washington Steet;
3. It will complete the streetscape from the 600 block to the 1100 block of West Washington;
and,
4. The property at 921 West Washington backs up to property already zoned A-1, so it will also
be contiguous to other A-1 zoned properties.
The Board wishes to re-affirm its commitment to the A-Residential zoning for the West
Washington-Chapin Development Area. However, we also recognize that exceptions must be made when
the need arises. We feel that this is one of those exceptions.
Sincerely,
i
