SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 2 of 5
Staff Report -PC#0102-22 6/21/2022
Site & Context
Land Uses and Zoning:
On site: On site is a vacant industrial building and several vacant lots.
North: To the North across McCartney, are single-family homes zoned U1 Urban
Neighborhood 1
East: To the east is a large industrial property zoned I Industrial District
South: To the South, across King Street, is an industrial complex and single-family homes
zoned I Industrial and U1 Urban Neighborhood 1
West: To the west are single-family homes zoned U1 Urban Neighborhood 1
District Intent:
The NC District is established to promote higher intensity, urban neighborhood centers,
typically located near the intersection of major streets, in core and outlying areas of the City
that are well connected to surrounding neighborhoods.
Site Plan Description:
The proposed site plan includes the rehabilitation of the existing industrial buildings to a
community center. Some minor building additions will be completed with the project. A
parking lot and the associated drainage will be developed to the west of the existing building.
Zoning and Land Use History and Trends:
This area was developed as an industrial site that was served by the Coal Line Railroad.
Historically, the south side of McCartney Street was occupied by small residential dwellings.
These homes were acquired and demolished by the industrial users over the years in order
to have a buffer between the heavy industrial use and the core of the neighborhood.
Traffic and Transportation Considerations:
McCartney Street and King Street are 2 lane roads with on-street parking.
Agency Comments
Agency Comments:
There are no agency comments at this time.
Staff Comments:
The alleys on this block were recently vacated to facilitate the development. All zoning and
engineering standards will need to be brought into conformance.
Criteria for Decision Making
Rezoning
Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to:
1. Comprehensive Plan:
Policy Plan:
The petition is consistent with City Plan (2006) Policy ED 1.2 Encourage the reuse of
abandoned and underutilized land and structures.
Land Use Plan:
The future landuse plan shows this area as light industrial.
Plan Implementation/Other Plans:
There are no other plans for this area.
SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 5
Staff Report -PC#0102-22 6/21/2022
2. Current Conditions and Character:
The current character of the area is a mix of residential properties, vacant land and industrial
uses in close proximity to a commercial corridor along Portage Avenue.
3. Most Desirable Use:
The most desirable use is one that allows for the reuse of the building in a manner that is
compatible with the surrounding residential area.
4. Conservation of Property Values:
The proposed rezoning should not negatively impact the surrounding properties. Downzoning
the portion of the site that is currently zoned I Industrial should help protect the use and value
of the surrounding properties by limiting the intensity of the use.
5. Responsible Development and Growth:
It is responsible growth and development to redevelop the existing building for a use that can
serve the neighborhood and surrounding area.
Variance(s)
The petitioner is seeking the following variance(s):
1) from the 60% minimum transparency 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 variance to reduce the amount of transparency in this location will not affect the health,
safety or general welfare of the community. The site is isolated at the end of a dead-end
street. The site is a former industrial building in which transparency wouldn't be required.
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 change in transparency should not affect the use or value of the adjacent properties. The
property is at the end of a dead-end street with the property immediately across from this
building being zoned Industrial.
3) The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property.
Strict application of the Ordinance would limit the interior use of the building and require
windows that would overlook an industrial site.
4) The variance granted is the minimum necessary.
This is an adaptive reuse of an industrial area. The portion of the building adjacent to the
street will be the gym. The west side of the building will have improvements that incorporate
more windows and activity.
5) The variance granted does not correct a hardship caused by a former or current
owner of the property.
The dead-end street and location across from industrial are hardships not created by the
property owner.
Analysis & Recommendation
Commitments: There are no written commitments proposed for this property.
SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 4 of 5
Staff Report -PC#0102-22 6/21/2022
Analysis: Rezoning the property to NC Neighborhood Center will allow for the adaptive reuse of a
former industrial building. The property is uniquely situated at the end of a dead-end street
adjacent to a large industrial property. Developing the site as a community center will serve
as an asset to the neighborhood.
Recommendation: Based on the information available prior to the public hearing, the staff
recommends the Commission approve the variance as request. The staff recommends the
Commission forward the rezoning to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation,
subject to providing a 15' setback on the west side of Lot 47.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
On October 26, 2021, the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10817-21,
which fixed maximum salaries and wages of appointed officers and non -bargaining employees of
the City of South Bend for the calendar year 2022. This ordinance was subsequently amended by
Council passage of Ordinance No. 10844-22 on February 14, 2022.
Since the enactment of Ordinance No. 10817-21, the City's executive has notified the
Common Council that new circumstances have occurred which did not exist in October 2021.
These circumstances necessitate the modification of the list of positions in the referenced
attachment to Ordinance No. 10817-21. This attachment consists of a list by title of all non -
bargaining City positions and their maximum salaries.
Specifically, this ordinance amends the maximum salary rate for two positions within the
Department of Community Investment (Neighborhood Program Specialist and Neighborhood Program
Specialist — Lead), and amends the maximum salary rate for four positions within the Department of
Innovation & Technology and requests a title change for one of those positions (Applications Developer I,
Applications Developer II, Assistant Director of Applications (currently referred to as the "Manager -
Applications"), and Director of Applications).
The increased cost of salary and benefits stemming from the changes to these positions for
the remainder of 2022 is within the current 2022 appropriation for these departments.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South
Bend, Indiana, as follows:
SECTION I. Ordinance No. 10817-21 is hereby amended to include the non -bargaining
positions and maximum salaries set forth in the amended attachment to Ordinance No. 10817-21,
incorporated herein as Attachment A. The six positions affected by this ordinance (Neighborhood
Program Specialist, Neighborhood Program Specialist — Lead, Applications Developer I, Applications
Developer II, Assistant Director of Applications, and Director of Applications) are highlighted in
yellow for ease of identification.
IN
SECTION II. All other portions and sections of Ordinance No. 10817-21 are unaffected
by this amendment and are reconfirmed.

by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor (retroactive to January 1, 2022).

On October 26, 2021, the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10817-21, which fixed
maximum salaries and wages of appointed officers and non -bargaining employees of the City of South Bend
for the calendar year 2022. This ordinance was subsequently amended by Council passage of Ordinance No.
10844-22 on February 14, 2022.
We now request six additional amendments to this non -bargaining salary ordinance.
Revise the salary caps for two positions within the Department of Community Investment. The City
has been experiencing turnover in these positions and the increase in pay will help retain strong
candidates. Additionally, these positions will take on additional duties related to the administration
of American Rescue Plan -funded programming, especially programming related to the Home Repair
and Housing Financing programs:
o Neighborhood Program Specialist: $53,602 4 $60,000 (11.94%)
o Neighborhood Program Specialist — Lead: $54,325 —) $60,000 (10.45%)
Revise the salary caps for four positions within the Applications team in the Department of
Innovation & Technology. These positions are difficult to recruit and highly competitive, and these
changes are designed to get the City closer to the 200, percentile of average salary for similar
positions in our area. The cost of the increased salary and benefits for these positions for the
remainder of 2022 is within the current 2022 appropriation:
o Applications Developer 1: $61,418 4 $68,788 (12%)
o Applications Developer 1L• $66,511 4 $74,492 (12%)
o Assistant Director of Applications: $76,163 $85,302 (12%)
Note that this change also comes with a request for a new title. This position was
formerly referred to as "Manager — Applications".
o Director of Applications: $82,480 4 $89,078 (8%)
These proposed changes are highlighted on the attached detailed salary ordinance for your convenience.
1 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 June 13, 2022 with 2nd reading, public hearing and 3rd
reading scheduled for June 27, 2022.

Sharon McBride
President,
Common Council of the City of South Bend
227 W. Jefferson Blvd.; Ste 4005
South Bend, [N 46601
Dear President McBride,
I am pleased to submit to you amendments to various sections of Chapter 17, Article 10 of the
South Bend Municipal Code that address System Development Charges (SDC). These charges
cover the cost of connecting new customers to the City's water or sewer utility service and are also
applied to existing customers for their new uses that would materially change the demands on the
City's water and/or sewer utility.
Changes proposed in the attached ordinance are part of Mayor Mueller's strategy to ease the ability
of property owners to build residential infill developments in neighborhoods. The changes in the
ordinance include, among others, the waiver of SDC for developments of five or fewer residential
units. For residential infill developments of five or more units constructed by non -for -profits or
supported by low-income housing tax credits, the SDC will also be waived.
I will be presenting this ordinance to the Council at its Committees and regular meetings and will
be happy to respond to questions at that time.
Sincerely,

CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING SYSTEM
DEVELOPMENT CHARGES WITHIN VARIOUS
SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 17, ARTICLE 10 OF THE
SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend owns and operates a water and sewer utility, and on October 24,
2016, this Council adopted Ordinance No. 10440-16 which repealed and replaced the previously
imposed compact fees with system development charges to cover some of the City's cost of
connecting new customers to the City's water or sewer utility service. These charges also applied
to existing customers for their new uses that would materially change the demands on the City's
water and/or sewer utility.
The system development charges for both water and sewer service adopted in 2016 were
computed using what is known as the "Equity Method." Among other things, they appropriately
exempted connections to new structures which replaced an older structure of similar use located
on the same property.
These changes are part of Mayor Mueller's strategy to ease the ability of property owners
to build residential infill developments and in neighborhoods. Among the changes included in this
ordinance are the waiver of SDC for developments of five or fewer residential units. For residential
infill development of five or more units constructed by non -for -profits or supported by low-income
housing tax credits, the SDC will also be waived.
Amending Sections of the South Bend Municipal Code at Chapter 17, Article 10 as set out
in this ordinance is in the best interest of the City and its residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND as follows:
SECTION I . Chapter 17, Article 10 of the Municipal Code of the City of South Bend,
Indiana shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
ARTICLE 10. WATER AND SEWER INSTALLATION CONSTRUCTION FEES
Sec. 17-79 Definitions. System Development Charge for- Wastewater inside and entsid
Citi. limits.
As used in this Article, the following terms, phrases, words, and their derivatives shall have the
meanings set forth below:
1) Equivalent Residential Unit ("ERU") is one residential unit and corresponds to an estimated
wastewater or water flow of three hundred ten (310) gallons per day.
2) Infill development is construction on land that has been vacant, unused, or underutilized
within current City limits where municipal water and sewer services are already available.
3) Mixed use structure is any structure that contains both residential and non-residential units.
4) Non-residential unit is any structure not primarily used as a dwelling unit for one household,
such as apartment buildings, mixed-use structures, or commercial structures.
5) Residential unit is any single -metered free-standing independent structure primarily used as a
dwelling unit for one household.
6) System Development Charge ("SDC ") is the cost charged by the City to ensure that its water
and sewer facilities are able to support development and to meet future capacity demand.
An SDC is charged upon the connection of new customers to the City's water or sewer
utilities and new uses by existing customers that would materially change the demands on
the water and/or sewer utility.
Sec. 17- -79 79.1. System Development Charge for Wastewater inside and outside City limits.
1) For puTonen of this .eetio« "ERU" shall lin defined as an en..:vnle«t residential unit whiel.

one hundred forty-five dollars ($1,145.00) shall be collected per ERU and additional pst4

mixed use structures, which include residential and non-residential units, the ERU

4) For parcels with an existing connection to City sewer seeking to redevelop the property, a
System Development Charge will be collected if the redevelopment necessitates a larger water
meter size to accommodate increased flow. The System Development Charge will be
calculated using meter size equivalency factors shown below. The difference between the
existing meter size equivalency factor and new meter size equivalency factor will be collected.
For example, if the existingdevelopment on a parcel has a 5/8 in meter, and the new
development will require a 1 in meter, the SDC will be $2,863 (SDC for 1 in) - $1,145 (SDC
for 5/8 in) = $1,718. There will not be a credit given if the meter size is reduced. Existing
water tap size will be used if the meter is not available. Upon application for connection, the
new meter size will need to be determined.

5) For residential infill developments of five (5) or fewer residential units, the System
Development Charge shall be waived. For residential infill developments consisting of five
5) units or more, whether developed at one time or over a period of time, the System

abatements were as follows.
Real Property Abatement Bill # 19-79 Confirming Resolution 4832-19. This
abatement had a commitment of 1,600,000.00 for building and improvements
for the above address.
A personal property abatement Bill 319-81 Confirming Resolution 4834-19
This abatement had a commitment of$1,055.000.00.
We began construction of this facility in the fall of 2020 with completion
targeted for May of 2021. Mid project the covid-19 pandemic began.
The building and grounds were completed end of May 2021. The amount
expended exceeded the abatement commitment. However, we failed to properly
submit tax deduction forms to the St. Joseph County Auditor Office in May
2021 AND May 2022 and therefore we received assessed tax bills. The tax
deduction forms including 322 RE were filed on June 14', 2022
Even though we were able to meet our goals on the building construction, we
encountered significant delays on purchasing the equipment due to the supply
chain crisis. An unexpected but temporary drop in revenue negated the need for
the additional equipment. Once this passed, the shipping cost to bring the
machines from overseas had gone from $30,000 to $200,000. This caused Toyo
Seiko to delay shipping the machines until ocean container pricing returned to
normal rates. Employment commitments and actual jobs as of today to retain
four permanent jobs and create one full time job within two years have been
met.
Toyo Seiko is therefore requesting a two-year waiver on real property
abatement#4832-19. We are also requesting an extension of the designation
period on personal property abatement #4834-19 for an additional two years.
Sincerely,
Larry A Ca zarite

South Bend Common Council
4t' Floor, County-City Building
South Bend, IN 46601
Dear Councilmember Tomas Morgan,
Attached please find a proposed form of resolution approving a waiver of noncompliance,pursuant
to Indiana Code 6-1.1-12.1-11.3, for Toyo Seiko North America Inc.
The Company filed a Form CF-1/RP and CF-1/PP with the City of South Bend in 2021 and 2022,
however, the Company inadvertently did not file the Form 322 with the St. Joseph County
Auditor's office in 2021 and 2022 related to the Real Property tax abatement. After realizing the
omission, the company filed the appropriate forms with the Auditor's office this month.
The company is requesting that the Common Council waive noncompliance with the filing
deadline for omitted Form 322 in 2021 and 2022.
The Department of Community Investment endorses and supports this waiver as the Company has
been on track with their abatement milestones. The initial projection associated with building
improvements was $1.6 million and the actual cost through December 31, 2022,was$2.1 million.
The project has met the employment representation stated in the original petition for tax abatement
from when the project began operating, until the present date.
Additionally, the company has also requested an extension on its existing Personal Property
abatement,as shipping costs and unexpected supply chain issues have delayed the purchase of new
equipment for the South Bend facility. We recommend amending the existing designating and
confirming resolutions to extend the designation period for the personal property tax abatement to
November of 2024.
We ask that the attached resolution be referred to the Community Investment Committee for an
advisory recommendation and then heard at the Common Council meeting to be held on June 26,
2022.

Valuation of Structures in Economic Revitalization Areas ("Form 322/RE") and the related
Compliance Statement of Benefits Real Property Deduction("CF-1/RP")to the St. Joseph County
Auditor;
WHEREAS,the Common Council recognizes that(a)Toyo Seiko North America, Inc. has
fulfilled its pledge to construct a new industrial building; (b)Toyo Seiko North America, Inc. has
requested a waiver of its inadvertent oversight for filing of the Application Forms in the wrong
office to claim benefits of the tax deduction for the first year of the tax deduction, which the

Built Form & Zoning
Overview S1 Suburban Neighborhood i
The built form of the Near West Side Neighborhood is guided by the South
c
Bend Zoning Ordinance,including its zoning map. The ordinance is a Local
Law that governs the physical development of property,both the form and
a
scale of buildings and the specific use of land.
The future zoning map Within this section proposes how each lot within the
Near West Side Neighborhood should be zoned following adoption of this
d y :
plan. Over time,property within the neighborhood should be allowed to
proceed gradually to the next increment of development.i l
y
Combined with the regulations found within the South Bend ZoningNt-
Ordinance,the aim of the future zoning map is to maintain and enhance j R it - r
the Near West Side Neighborhood's pedestrian-oriented,urban
environment. Vehicle access,parking,and garages should be from alleys
when present.Drive-thoughs are discouraged,and if they are present,they
should be designed not to be visible from the street.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IS RESOLVED, by the Common Council of the City of South
Bend, Indiana, as follows:
Section I. The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana hereby urges the City
of South Bend and the South Bend Community School Corporation to enter into negotiations for

Narrative of Rezoning Application Sl to C
Brookton Drive and Ireland Road
I. Comprehensive Plan
City of South Bend Comprehensive Plan (City Plan,2004)
This application is supported by the City of South Bend Comprehensive Plan.
A. The Future Land Use Map (Page 19, Map 3.1) designates the area around Ireland Road, east of Miami
Street, as a "Regional Commercial Node". That node is located directly adjacent to and overlaps
the land designated as "Low Density Residential". This would suggest that the boundary between
those land uses is not fixed and can be varied as needed to respond to the on-going development
of the area.
The subject property is located within this overlap and is part of the "Regional Commercial Node".
B. The map of Areas with Commercial and Corridor Plans (Page 25, Map 3.3) denotes that the properties
on both sides of Ireland Road, from Lafayette Street and Brookton Drive, are located within the "South
Gateway Corridor". According to the Plan, "Corridors are historically areas in a community where
most of the commercial activity began and flourished. Preserving and enhancing the commercial
and mixed-use character of a corridor is often the major goal of corridor plans." (Page 26)
The subject property is located within the "South Gateway Corridor".
C. The City Plan further states the following:
1. "Commercial activity is primarily concentrated along the major arterial streets." (Page 20)
Ireland Road is major arterial street.
2. "The Erskine Hills Shopping District (Ireland Road, South Bend) and University Park Mall area (Grape
Road, Mishawaka) serve as regional, commercial nodes or centers." (Page 20)
The subject property is located within the Erskine Hills Shopping District, directly adjacent to high
volume, high turnover commercial uses.
3. Under Smart Growth Principles, "Strengthen and direct development toward existing built-up
areas and infrastructure." (Page 22)
The subject property is located adjacent to an existing large commercial development complex.
D. Finally, the proposed development of the subject property complies with Policy LU 2.4, "Provide buffer
spaces between noncompatible land uses." (Page 31)
The nature of the proposed development of the subject property is a buffer between non-compatible
uses, as follows:
1. The activities will occur on the south side of the building, along Ireland Road. The building itself
and the landscaping and fencing along the north side of the building will serve as a buffer from
those activities to the residential land uses.
2. The proposed land use does not generate the type of traffic that is generated by adjacent high-
volume land uses, such as high-turnover restaurants and gasoline stations. This land use will be a
low-impact development use and very low-volume traffic generator.
3. The proposed land use is also limited in nature and does not operate in the evenings, overnight,
or weekends.

II. Other Planning Documents
Cit y of Souih Bend Sout:i Gateway Cornmercid; Corridor Plan (1998)
This application is supported by the City of South Gateway Commercial Corridor Plan.
A. The "South Destination Commercial Sector", as mapped (Page 32) includes properties on both sides
of Ireland Road, from Lafayette Street to Brookton Drive.
The subject property is located within the "South Destination Commercial Sector".
B. The South Gateway Commercial Corridor was intended for commercial uses. It states the following,
To succeed, the South Gateway needs to recruit additional businesses that are compatible with the
area's strengths and weaknesses". (Page 41)
The proposed development of the subject property will bring a new and compatible business to the
South Gateway Commercial Corridor.
City of South Bend South Side Development Area P;an '(2019)
This application is supported by the City of South Bend South Side Development Area Plan.
A. Goal/Objective 1 states, in part, "Facilitate the creation of development sites"and"Promote projects
that best maximize the assessed valuation of the property".
The proposed development of the subject property would do both. It is very unlikely that a residential
dwelling will be constructed in the future on the corner of Brookton Drive and Ireland Road.
B. Goal / Objective 5 states, in part, "Stimulate the creation, retention, and expansion of business,
particularly in expanding and export industries.
The proposed development of the subject property will bring a new business to the South Side
Development Area. The increase in valuation of the subject property will support other opportunities
within the South Side Development Area.

III. Other Considerations
The rezoning of the subject property should be considered based on the Comprehensive Plan (as
discussed above) and other planning documents, but should also be based on the following:
A. Current conditions and the character of current structures and uses in each district
As discussed above, the subject property is located within the "Regional Commercial Node"and the
South Destination Commercial Sector".
B. The most desirable use for which the land in each district is adapted
It is unlikely that the subject property will be further developed in a residential manner. The
construction of a new residential dwelling at the corner of Brookton Drive and Ireland Road would
place a new residence on a high-volume street adjacent to a high-volume commercial land use.
C. The conservation of property values through the jurisdiction
The nature of the proposed development of the subject property is a buffer between non-compatible
uses, as follows:
1. The activities will occur on the south side of the building, along Ireland Road. The building itself
and the landscaping and fencing along the north side of the building will serve as a buffer from
those activities to the residential land uses.
2. The proposed land use does not generate the type of traffic that is generated by adjacent high-
volume land uses, such as high-turnover restaurants and gasoline stations. This land use will be a
low-impact development use and very low-volume traffic generator.
3. The proposed land use is also limited in nature and does not operate in the evenings, overnight,
or weekends.
D. Responsible growth and development
The proposed development of the subject property should be located on a major arterial street, and
Ireland Road is such a street.
