Re: Circus Licensing Ordinance Amendment
Dear Beverlie :
Attached for filing is a proposed amendment to §4-22 of the South Bend
Municipal Code regulating the licensing of carnivals and circuses .
- Currently the Ordinance permits carnivals and circuses to be held on
the county fair grounds only if they are connected with the county fair
itself. The proposed ordinance amendment would allow carnivals and
circuses sponsored by certain not-for-profit groups to be held on the
fair grounds if they meet the requirements of §21-112 of the Code and
if they have been approved by the City Board of Zoning Appeals pursuant
to §§ 21-110 and 21-111 of the Code .
This change is being submitted in order to clarify the authority of the
County Fair Association to lease their property for certain events and
to provide a reasonable location for use by certain not-for-profit
organizations in sponsoring those events. If you have any questions ,
please feel free to contact me or a member of my staff.
Sin erely,
Richard L. Hill
City Attorney
