" When this portion of the Municipal Code was originally written it was designed to limit the number of billboards in the Central Downtown Urban Renewal Area to the number then in existence. In 1981 Section 21-1 ( 3 . 1 ) was broadened to refer to any redevelopment area. With the subsequent merger and expansion of the Downtown, East Bank and Monroe Sample areas we have inadvertently extended the limitations on billboards to the new South Bend Central Development Area. This was brought to our attention by Scott Miller, President of Burkhart Advertising. Our department has met with Mr. Miller, as well as with representatives of the Area Plan Commission and the City Attorney' s Office. The enclosed ordinance is a .direct result of those meetings. It reestablishes a legal description for the area where the number of billboards is limited. I respectfully request your approval of this Ordinance and will be glad to answer any questions you might have. Sincerely, ___410_,,,,, :74— Ann .
