Angela Smith, Zoning Administrator, with offices on the fourteenth (14th) floor of the County-City
building, advised that the petitioner is requesting to rezone the property from U 1 Urban
Neighborhood 1 to NC Neighborhood Centre. Access would be from the Eddy Street Commons.
The property to the west is a single-family dwelling owned by the University of Notre Dame and
parking would be off the alley. The petition was presented with a favorable recommendation.
Wayne Richardson, from Bertsch-Frank & Associates, 811 Lawrence Drive, Fort Wayne, Indiana,
468042, advised that the three (3) story building will house four (4) law clinics for applied
mediation, community development, housing, and exoneration justice. There will be up to ten (10)
parking spaces, the entrance will be on the south side, and the sidewalk will be restored. Public
outreach was completed by the University of Notre Dame, and the Northeast Neighborhood
Revitalization Organization and Northeast Neighborhood Council issued support letters. Neighbor
feedback was incorporated into the plan.
Councilmember Tomas Morgan asked if services offered at the current clinic would be provided
at the new location.
