South Bend Venues Parks & Arts Announced as Finalist for the 2021 National Gold Medal Awards in
Parks and Recreation Management
South Bend Venues Parks & Arts to compete for prestigious honor in the park and recreation industry
[SOUTH BEND, IN], SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 – The American Academy for Park and Recreation
Administration (AAPRA), in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), is
pleased to announce South Bend Venues Parks & Arts as a finalist for the 2021 National Gold Medal
Awards for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management. Musco Lighting, LLC is proud to continue its
20+ years of sponsoring the National Gold Medal Awards program.
Founded in 1965, the National Gold Medal Awards program honors communities in the United States
that demonstrate excellence in parks and recreation through long-range planning, resource
management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional
development and agency recognition. Applications are separated into six classes, with five classes based
on population and one class for armed forces.
AAPRA Executive Director Jane H. Adams shared, “Each Finalist is congratulated for this prestigious
award. We know local communities, state park systems, and military installations worldwide met the
challenge of being responsive to the changing demands of delivering services during the COVID 19
pandemic. Park visitors and program participants have come to rely upon their service provider for
physical, mental, and emotional support during this pandemic. The Academy congratulates each Finalist
for their management excellence during this unprecedented time.”
South Bend Venues Parks & Arts was selected as one of four NATIONAL GOLD MEDAL FINALISTS in the
Class III category for agencies in cities with populations of 75,001 – 150,000.
Agencies are judged on their ability to address the needs of those they serve through the collective
energies of community members, staff members and elected officials. South Bend Venues Parks & Arts
joins three other finalists in their class that will compete for Grand Plaque which will be awarded later
this month.
“To be recognized as a finalist for the National Gold Medal Award is a true honor,” said Venues Parks &
Arts Executive Director, Aaron Perri. This is not only a reflection of our quality experiences and spaces,
it’s also a well-deserved tribute to a dedicated group of city employees, strong leadership from our
elected officials, and a very supportive community.”
A panel of five highly qualified park and recreation professionals review and judge all application
materials. Judges are chosen for their considerable experience and knowledge in parks and recreation
on both the local and national levels.

BILL NO. 21-50
RESOLUTION NO. _______
A SPECIAL RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH BEND COMMON COUNCIL
ACKNOWLEDGING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH, OCTOBER
2021
Whereas, Domestic Violence Awareness Month evolved from the First Day of Unity
observed in 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) which had the
themes of: mourning those who died as a result of domestic violence, celebrating those who have
survived domestic violence, and connecting those who work to end domestic violence; and
Whereas, Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) was launched nationwide in
October 1987 as a way to connect and unite individuals and organizations working on domestic
violence issues while raising awareness for those issues; and
Whereas, Domestic Violence Awareness Month is a sobering reminder of the harm
domestic violence inflicts across our country, at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic means
that for many survivors, abuse may be compounded by being isolated with an abuser, loss of
income and stress over the virus itself,” said United States Deputy Attorney General Lisa O.
Monaco; and
Whereas; locally, H.O.T. (Hear Our Tears) is a Non-Profit Organization assisting
individuals to gain freedom from various types of abuse, bullying or violence they are
experiencing; while also providing education to those interested in learning more about
identifying and eradicating abuse, bullying and violence in the environment; and
Whereas, H.O.T. (Hear Our Tears), is dedicated to increasing efforts in addressing these
issues and believes that through cooperation and community empowerment they can facilitate
progress.
Now, Therefore, be it resolved by the South Bend Common
Council as follows:
Section I. The South Bend Common Council acknowledges the contributions of Ms. Traci
Winston, President of H.O.T. (Hear Our Tears) and owner of Unique Boutique International,
LLC, Downtown South Bend for her efforts to solve the problems resulting from domestic
violence.
Section II. The South Bend Common Council remembers all those impacted by domestic
violence in every form.
Section III. The South Bend Common Council encourages all others to take an affirmative
stand against domestic violence.
Special Resolution 21-50
Signed and Approved this 8th day of November 2021 in the City
of South Bend, County of St. Joseph, in the State of Indiana.

A SPECIAL RESOLUTION BY SOUTH BEND COMMON COUNCIL SECOND
DISTRICT MEMBER HENRY DAVIS, JR., AND AT LARGE COUNCIL MEMBER
RACHEL TOMAS MORGAN COMMEMORATING VETERANS’ DAY 2021,
HONORING ALL VETERANS AND SUPPORTING THE MISSION OF “GET WET
FOR A VET, INC.”
Whereas, in November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11, as
Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I; and
Whereas, in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower changed Armistice Day to Veterans
Day and expanded the commemoration to all veterans “in order that a grateful Nation might pay
appropriate homage to veterans of all its wars”; and
Whereas, President Eisenhower’s vision of Veterans Day remains as sacred today as it
was in 1954 to: “let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on
the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us
reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not
have been in vain”; and
Whereas, locally, “Get Wet for a Vet, Inc.” embodies the honor due veterans in its
mission statement: “We work with all of you to benefit the community by helping local Veterans
who have fought so vigorously for our freedom”; and
Whereas, since 2013 “GWAV” has donated tens of thousands of dollars to veteran-
oriented organizations such as: the Miller’s Homeless Veteran Center, the Department of
American Veterans, and CVMA “Vets helping Vets”, St. Joseph County Blue Star Moms,
Michiana “Stop 22”, Marine Riders, St. Joseph County Department of Veterans Affairs
Volunteer Fund, Combat Veterans 14-3 and Army Riders Chapter 118; and
Whereas, GWAV is currently involved in the planning and construction of a “tiny”
house village for local veterans.
Now, Therefore, be it publicly and proudly proclaimed as
follow:
Section I. The sacrifices made by American veterans should be remembered and honored each
and every day, but especially so on the day proclaimed by our Nation as Veterans Day.
Section II. At the same time, the sacrifices made by the families of veterans should also be
remembered and honored each and every day.
Section III. The contributions of organizations such as Get Wet for a Vet, Inc., which
supports veterans through both words and deeds, should be acknowledged and encouraged.
Signed and Approved this 8th day of November 2021 in the City
of South Bend, County of St. Joseph, in the State of Indiana.

SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 5
Land Uses and Zoning:
On site: The site is currently vacant and is heavily wooded in some sections while other sections
have been used for agriculture purposes recently.
North: To the north, across Adams Road, is a tilled agriculture field zoned NC Neighborhood
Center.
East: To the east, across the St. Joseph Valley Parkway (bypass), are industrial warehouses
zoned I Industrial
South: To the south are residential properties zoned R Residential in the County.
West: To the west are residential properties zoned R Residential in the County.
District Intent:
The I District is established to provide a location for medium- to high intensity industrial uses,
typically grouped along highways and major streets and separated from residential uses.
Site Plan Description:
The current site plan shows a new service center including approximately 98,000 SF office and
garage building and 15,000 SF detached vehicle storage building. A substation will also be
located on the NE corner of the site.
Zoning and Land Use History and Trends:
The property was initially annexed into South Bend in the early 2000s and included as part of the
Portage Prairie PUD. The development was predicated on a proposed interchange at Adams
Road and the the US-31 bypass with the intention of creating a mixed use development to
support apartments and other mixed use growth west of the interchange. This development did
not materialize leading to the property remaining agriculture in use despite being zoned mixed-
use.
With the new Zoning Ordinance in 2020, any property zoned PUD was paired with the district
most closely related to the intended uses and development standards. Because the area west of
the bypass was intended to have a mix of uses, the properties were assigned to Neighborhood
Center District. The surrounding area east of the bypass has become heavily industrial with a
large increase in companies in the past decade.
Traffic and Transportation Considerations:
Adams Road is two lanes with no on-street parking. The St. Joseph Valley Parkway (bypass) is a
limited access freeway. At this time, there seems to be little interest from INDOT in constructing
the Adams Road interchange.

There are no additional comments at this time.
Staff Comments:
While AEP does not need to rezone the property to operate the substation, the I Industrial District
is appropriate for the adjacent service center. The property is centrally located for the AEP
service area with easy access to major roads, allowing them to service the public in a more
timely manner.

Staff Report -PC#0067-21 9/20/2021
SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 4 of 5
Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to:
1.Comprehensive Plan:
Policy Plan:
The petition is consistent with the City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (2006), Objective
ED 2: Retain existing businesses and recruit new ones to the city.
Land Use Plan:
The Future Land Use Plan identities this area for Mixed Use.
Plan Implementation/Other Plans:
There are no other plans specific to this area.
2.Current Conditions and Character:
While the proposed development was annexed with the intent of being a mixed use area, the
highway interchange needed to make that successful never materialized. The area is currently
rural residential and agricultural.
3.Most Desirable Use:
The most desirable use, as this time, is a use more compatible with the growing industrial and
distribution growth seen east of the bypass.
4.Conservation of Property Values:
The I Industrial District includes buffering requirements designed to mitigate the impact on
surrounding property values.
5.Responsible Development and Growth:
It is responsible development and growth to allow for the site to be used in a similar manner to
properties east of the bypass. As the land is already annexed into the City Limits, using the land
to its highest and best use is responsible development for the City.
Variance(s)
The petitioner is seeking the following variance(s):
1) from the required durable dust free surface for outdoor storage to gravel
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 approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community. Due to the distance of the parking lot from any accessible public right-of-way and
being bounded by a limited access highway with no direct access from the site, the negative
impacts of a gravel parking lot are mitigated and should not be injurious to the general welfare of
the community.
(2) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not
be affected in a substantially adverse manner.
The parking lot will be a considerable distance and buffered from any privately owned adjacent
property. This should limit any adverse affects of the gravel parking. The existence of the bypass
to the east and large buffering on site should also limit any adverse affects.
(3) The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical difficulties
in the use of the property.
Criteria for Decision Making
Rezoning
Staff Report -PC#0067-21 9/20/2021
SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 5 of 5
The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would require the developer to develop their
site to unnecessary standards. The site is far removed from adjacent uses and bordered by a
limited access highway.
(4) The variance granted is the minimum necessary.
The variance granted is the minimum necessary for the petitioner to develop the site in
accordance with the I Industrial District standards and taking into account the unique conditions
of the property.
(5) The variance granted does not correct a hardship caused by a former or current owner
of the property.
The variance granted does not correct a hardship caused by a former or current owner of the
property. Neither the current nor former owners are responsible for the bypass running alongside
the property or the rural nature of the surrounding properties.
Commitments: There are no written commitments proposed.
Analysis: While the NC Neighborhood Center District is the most closely related district to the original
uses of the PUD, it is not well suited for this area. The NC District is typically pedestrian-
orientated in scale and well connected to surrounding residential neighborhoods. The site will
most likely never meet those characteristics, and the mixed use development originally proposed
will likely never occur.
As a public utility regulation by the IURC, the AEP substation is permitted by right in any district.
The zoning ordinance cannot restrict the location of the proposed substation and utility lines.
Allowing the site be zoned to the I Industrial District will better suit the use and provide additional
protections for adjacent property owners through increased buffering.
Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends the
Plan Commission send the rezoning petition to the Common Council with a favorable
recommendation.

Re: The petition of MURPHY'S CAPTIAL LLC seeking a Special Exception for a Duplex in the U1
Urban Neighborhood 1 for property located at 2614 FORD ST,
Dear Council Members:
I hereby Certify that the above referenced petition of MURPHY'S CAPTIAL LLC was legally advertised
on October 22, 2021 and that the South Bend Board of Zoning Appeals at its public hearing on November
1, 2021 took the following action:
Upon a motion by Mark Burrell, being seconded by Kyle Copelin and unanimously carried, a petition
by MURPHY'S CAPTIAL LLC seeking a Special Exception for a Duplex for property located at
2614 FORD ST, City of South Bend, is sent to the Common Council with a favorable
recommendation, and will issue written Findings of Fact.
The staff comments related to this petition are attached. The Findings of Fact will be adopted at the next
South Bend Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. Minutes of the public hearing are available in our office
and will be posted on our website once approved.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.
Sincerely,
Angela M. Smith

A Special Use may only be granted upon making a written determination, based upon the
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;
Approval of the Special Exception will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals
and general welfare of the community. The scale of the proposed duplex is comparable to a
single unit dwelling and will be used for residential use. Reactivating a vacant lot will
provide more residents to the neighborhood which will increase safety and the 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;
Adding a two unit dwelling on a currently vacant lot should not injure or adversely affect the
use or value of the adjacent area or property values. New construction that fits the scale of
the current residential properties should strengthen nearby property values.
(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 current context of the neighborhood provides a mix of single family homes and small
scale multifamily apartments. This two unit dwelling will be consistent with the character of
the district and neighborhood in both uses and style of construction. Ford Street has a
history of small scale multi unit dwellings which this project will further compliment and
enhance.
(4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The petition is consistent with the City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (2006)
Objective H1.1: Encourage residential developments to contain a mix of housing types,
densities, price ranges, and amenities.
Analysis: The proposed construction of a two unit dwelling will further compliment the existing
housing stock in the surrounding area, as well as providing more diverse housing types for
residents. Ford Street has a history of small scale multi-unit dwellings. The proposed two unit
dwelling will fit into that existing setting, as well as reactivating a vacant lot.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the information provided prior to the public hearing, the staff
recommends the Board send the petition to the Common Council with a favorable
recommendation as presented.

Re: The petition of 1710 TURTLE CREEK LLC seeking a Special Exception for Shared Housing in the
U3 Urban Neighborhood 3 for property located at V/L REAR OF 1705 SO BEND AV and 1705
SOUTHBEND AVE,
Dear Council Members:
I hereby Certify that the above referenced petition of 1710 TURTLE CREEK LLC was legally advertised
on October 22, 2021 and that the South Bend Board of Zoning Appeals at its public hearing on November
1, 2021 took the following action:
Upon a motion by Kyle Copelin, being seconded by Kaine Kanczuzewski and unanimously carried, a
petition by 1710 TURTLE CREEK LLC seeking a Special Exception for Shared Housing for
property located at V/L REAR OF 1705 SO BEND AV and 1705 SOUTHBEND AVE, City of South

Staff Report – BZA#0090-21 November 1, 2021
Property Information
Location: V/L REAR OF 1705 SO BEND AV and 1705 SOUTHBEND AVE
Owner: 1710 TURTLE CREEK LLC
Project Summary
Proposed redevelopment of 1710 North Turtle Creek Drive (Campus View). The proposed project
includes townhouses, three-story garden buildings, three-story wrapped buildings, and a three and
a half story parking garage. The project would include a mix of studios, one, two, and four bedroom
units.
Requested Action
Special Exception: Shared Housing
Variance(s): 1) From the 120' maximum building width to 350'
Site Location
Staff Recommendation
Based on the information available prior to the public hearing, the Staff recommends the Board
send the Special Exception to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. The staff
recommends approval of the variance for buildings not fronting on a public street.

Staff Report – BZA#0090-21 November 1, 2021
SOUTH BEND BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS Page 3 of 4
A Special Use may only be granted upon making a written determination, based upon the
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 should not be injurious to public health, safety, or general welfare of the
community. The site is well suited for Shared Housing as it is near to the Notre Dame
campus. This site is currently being used for student rentals, with the majority of the units
occupying more than 2 unrelated individuals. The demolition of the current older units for
new apartments used in a similar manner should not have an injurious impact on the
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 proposed use will lead to a large investment in a property which is nearing the end of its
forecasted life cycle. The proposed use of Shared Housing is consistent with the use
currently on the site. Developed in compliance with the ordinance, the proposed
development will allow reinvestment in the property, which should not adversely impact use
or value of surrounding 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 proposed use of Shared Housing is consistent with the character of the surrounding
area which has a large presence of existing apartments and student rentals. The
redevelopment of the site will further bring the property inline with the new zoning standards
in place since 2020.
(4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The proposed use is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan
recommends "Encourage residential developments to contain a mix of housing types,
densities, price ranges, and amenities. (Policy H1.1) This proposed development is in line
with the recommendation from the Comprehensive Plan by helping establish a mix of
housing types across several different size options ranging from studios to four bedroom
apartments.
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
Criteria for Decision Making: Special Exception
Criteria for Decision Making: Variance(s)
Staff Report – BZA#0081-21 November 1, 2021
SOUTH BEND BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS Page 4 of 4
The proposed variance should not affect the public health, safety or general welfare of the
community. The proposed variances are for portions of the site not visible from public right-
of-way. All buildings will be designed to current building and fire codes.
(2) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will
not be affected in a substantially adverse manner
The use and value of the adjacent properties should not be adversely affected by the
variance to allow the interior buildings to exceed 120' maximum width. This is a primarily
commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family residential area. The proposed development is
consistent with the surrounding area.
(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 ordinance would make it difficult to develop the interior portion of
the sign in a way that allows an adequate mix of parking and residential units. The largest
building interior to the lot surrounds a parking garage and will not be visible from the public
right-of-way.
(4) The variance granted is the minimum necessary
The variance requested is based on the interior building, which is designed around a parking
garage. The buildings adjacent to the public right of way have been designed to comply with
the ordinance.
(5) The variance does not correct a hardship cause by a former or current owner of
the property
The hardship is generally created by the overall size of the parcel. The proposed variance
will allow the efficient development of the site without impacting the portion of the site visible
from the public street.
Analysis: Allowing the proposed use of Shared Housing will further the ability to redevelop the
site and add investment to the area. The site is currently used as student housing in a
development nearing the end of its life cycle. The proposed use will lead to a large investment
into the area without significantly changing the current land use. The redevelopment will bring
this 11 acre parcel into compliance with the updated development standards established in the
current Zoning Ordinance. Approving the variance for the interior portion of the site will allow for
more flexibility in design and support the construction of a garage to support the increased
density. By maintaining code compliant buildings on the interior of the lot, the development
reflects the intent of the Ordinance to the general public.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the information available prior to the public hearing, the
Staff recommends the Board send the Special Exception to the Common Council with a
favorable recommendation. The staff recommends approval of the variance for buildings not
fronting on a public street.

The Common Council will hear a petition for a Special Exception for Shared Housing at 1710 Turtle

larger Parcel ID however there are three Parcel IDs which make up the current apartment complex

requirements for correct advertisement of the petition in addition to moving forward with the
larger parcel public hearing on Monday October 11th. If you have any questions regarding this,
please reach out to our office.
Enclosed is an Ordinance for the proposed Special Exception Use at the above referenced location.
Please include the attached Ordinance on the Council agenda for first reading at your October 11th
Council meeting and set it for public hearing at your November 8th Council meeting. The petition is
tentatively scheduled for public hearing at the November 1st South Bend Board of Zoning Appeals
meeting. The recommendation of the South Bend Board of Zoning Appeals will be forwarded to the
Office of the City Clerk by noon on the day following the public hearing.
The petitioner provided the following to describe the proposed project:
Proposed redevelopment of 1710 North Turtle Creek Drive (Campus View). The proposed project
includes townhouses, three-story garden buildings, three-story wrapped buildings, and a three and
a half story parking garage. The project would include a mix of studios, one, two, and four bedroom
