Staff Report— BZA#0382-25 December I, 2025
Criteria for Decision Making: Special Exception
A Special Exception 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 will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral
standards, convenience, or general welfare. A two-unit structure would increase the housing
supply and allow more neighbors to live in the neighborhood.
2) The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or
property values therein;
Building a two-unit structure should not injure or adversely affect the uses or values of
adjacent properties and the area around the property. As proposed, the structure would be
similar to the land use of the surrounding neighborhood, while bringing new neighbors to the
area and increasing the local housing supply.
3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is
located and the land uses authorized therein;
Although the district where this property is located is predominantly made up of single-unit
dwellings, a two-unit dwelling is very similar in terms of land use, and can be made to
appear as of a similar character and scale.
4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The petition is consistent with Objective H1.1 from the city's comprehensive plan, which is to
encourage residential developments that contain a mix of housing types, densities, price
ranges, and amenities. The future land use map in the comprehensive plan also
recommends that the district this parcel is in be used for low-density residential
development, and while a two-unit dwelling would be slightly denser than the single-unit
dwellings that would surround it, it is still a lower-density type of building in general and
would still be appropriate in its local context.
Analysis & Recommendation
Analysis: The construction of a new duplex that is consistent with the scale and character of
the surrounding neighborhood will bring new residents to the area and provide additional
housing.
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.

The previous version included an appropriation of$500,000 from the General Fund for any last-

amount for Fund 101 by$500,000.
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and Council meetings.

RE: Q4 2025 Substitute Budget Transfer Ordinance
Dear President Lee,
During the past several years,it has been the practice of the City of South Bend to request
department heads,fiscal staff,and city administration to conduct an extensive review of the status
of compliance with the adopted city budget and propose necessary adjustments periodically
throughout the year.For 2025,we plan to propose adjustments during four time periods—March,
June,October and December.
Based on our budget review, it has been determined that several of the budget transfers that were
submitted for Q4 are no longer needed and we have reduced the budget transfer amount for a
Human Rights budget transfer.
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and Council meetings
that are scheduled for December 8',2025.
Thank you for your attention to this request. If you should have any questions,please feel to contact
me at 574-235-9822.
Regards

Bianca r1radl1 City Clerk South Bend, IN RE: Bill No. -Increasing the Number of Public Safety Officers Available at No Cost
to Event Organizer under Chapter 14, Article 15, Section 14-175
Dear President Lee:
Please find the enclosed bill requesting an increase in available public safety officers for
special event permit holder at zero cost to the event permit holder. The bill does not change
the substance of the ordinance as it only serves to increase the available hours of zero cost
public safety support from forty (40) hours to forty-eight (48) hours per event.The practical
impact of this change will allow for up to twelve (12) officers on site for no more than four (4)
hours per officer. This change should continue the City's efforts to support special events
throughout our community.
If you or any of the other Council members have questions concerning the report or need
additional information, please feel free to call me at (574) 235-9817.
Sincerely,

Re A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, CALLING FOR RELIEF FROM THE
DE VAST A TING IMPACT OF SENATE ENROLLED ACT 1 ON THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND AND OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT AL
ENTITIES WITHIN THE ST ATE OF INDIANA
Dear Council Members:
We are seeing the devastation Senate Enrolled Act 1 is having on local government
units as demonstrated by substantial cuts to the 2026 budget proposed to the
Common Council. It is projects that such cuts are not just a one-time adjustment but
will also be required in the future unless local governmental entities impose
additional local income taxes on their residents.
This proposed resolution calls for relief from the devasting impact of Senate
Enrolled Act 1 though a replacement state revenue stream which does not negatively
impact South Bend's ability to continue to meet the needs and expectations of its
residents now and into the future.
Please schedule this proposed resolution for Committee hearing-on October 27,
2025, and place it on the full Council agenda later that night. We are asking that the
resolution be assigned to the Zoning and Annexation Committee because it does not
fit neatly within any other committee,
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,

A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, CALLING FOR RELIEF FROM THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF
SENATE ENROLLED ACT 1 ON THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND AND OTHER LOCAL
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES WITHIN THE STATE OF INDIANA
WHEREAS, the Indiana legislature passed legislation in 2025, most notably Senate
Enrolled Act 1 (SEA 1), which facially reduces residential property tax bills for homeowners and
changes how tax liabilities are calculated; and
WHEREAS, homeowners deserve affordable property tax bills as well as adequate public
safety and services; and
WHEREAS, the legislation does not provide replacement state funding for adequate
public safety and city services which will soon be showing devasting negative impacts; and
WHEREAS, the legislation will also stifle economic development opportunities in South
Bend, negatively impacting continued future growth; and
WHEREAS,the economic impact on municipal taxing units has been estimated to exceed
2 Billion; and
WHEREAS, the legislation provides an option for additional local income taxes of a
maximum of 1.2% for municipal services, plus a maximum of 1.2% for county services, plus an
additional income tax up to 0.05% for a possible local income tax rate of 2.9%; and
WHEREAS,the ability to adopt a local income tax option provided in the legislation could
be a helpful tool for municipal units who are given such authority, it is not adequate to replace the
magnitude of the funding being eliminated,thereby making the local income tax option a necessity,
rather than a true option; and
WHEREAS the local income tax option amounts to a mandated local income tax increase
on both homeowners and those who do not own their own homes; and
WHEREAS, the negative impact of the legislation is currently being seen through the
slashed budget proposals submitted for Common Council approval; and
WHEREAS, the legislation will likely impact public safety through the effects on
contracts recently negotiated between the City and South Bend police officers and firefighters;and
WHEREAS,replacement state funding is needed to maintain the level of public safety and
services that residents of South Bend expect and deserve.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT 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 calls for relief from
the devastating impact of Senate Enrolled Act 1 on South Bend and other local governmental
entities throughout the state.
SECTION II. More specifically, the Common Council calls for a replacement revenue
stream implemented by the State of Indiana which does not negatively impact South Bend's ability
to continue to meet the needs and expectations of its residents now and into the future.
SECTION III.This resolution shall become effective upon the date of passage.

Enclosed is a Resolution affirming the interest of the City of South Bend to purchase 749
Harrison which is a substantial church building and annex located at the corner of
Harrison and Van Buren in the Near Northwest Neighborhood. The property has been a
point of neighborhood concern due to the poor condition of the church structure. Also,
in the near vicinity of the church, the City has been successful over the past five years
working with multiple developers in building and constructing new housing on once
vacant lots.
City staff have negotiated with the current owner of the building who is a willing seller.
City staff believe it would be beneficial for the City to purchase the property for two
primary reasons.
1)The church sanctuary is currently a detriment to the overall Near Northwest
Neighborhood. City ownership of the property will help alleviate concerns of the
community.
2)The Near Northwest has seen significant infill development on multiple parcels both
for the construction of affordable and workforce housing units. Adding another large
property to the City's portfolio in the neighborhood will be the first step in redeveloping
the site for the betterment of the entire community.
The Resolution declares the Common Council's interest in the purchase of the property
and authorizes the Board of Public Works to purchase the property in accordance with
I.C. 36-1-10-5.

RE: Resolution Authorizing Purchase of 1024 Indiana.
Dear Mr. Warner,
Filed in Clerk's Office
Dec 2, 2025 13nmca lirado City Clerk . outh Bend, I Enclosed is a Resolution affirming the interest of the City of South Bend to purchase 1024 Indiana which is
a former neighborhood social club building. City staff have negotiated with the current owner of the
building who is a willing seller.
City staff believe it would be beneficial for the City to purchase the property for three primary reasons.
1)The Boys and Girls Club intend to partner with the City of South Bend to renovate the building as a
Community Center with active programing provided by the Boys and Girls Club.
2)The southwest side of South Bend is in need of a Community Center of this scale and type. Renovation
of the building will greatly benefit the youth and overall community of that southwest side.
3)Renovation and activation of the building will benefit the local neighborhood as well as saving a historic
building for the surrounding area. Without taking this action, the future of a significant building is in doubt.
The Resolution declares the Common Council's interest in the purchase of the property and authorizes the
Board of Public Works to purchase the property in accordance with I.C. 36-1-10-5.
Please include the attached Resolution at your December 8 Common Council meeting for public hearing as
well as placing it on the Community Investment Committee agenda on December 8 as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.

Re: Resolution Requesting Approval for the Purchase of 1829 Randolph Street
Dear President Lee:
Attached is a resolution for consideration by the South Bend Common Council ("Council")
requesting authorization from Council for the Board of Public Works to pursue the acquisition of
three (3) parcels ofland, more commonly referred to as 1829 Randolph Street, South Bend,
Indiana ("Property"). The Board of Works intends to follow the statutory framework set forth
under IC 36-1-10.5-5 to purchase the Property.
The purpose of this purchase is to facilitate the upcoming CSO storage tank construction project.
This infrastructure improvement is necessitated by the City of South Bend' s consent decree with
the federal government. The acquisition of the Property has the likely impact ofreducing the
overall cost of the construction project while minimizing the disruption to the residents of the
neighborhood.
I will present the resolution to Council at its upcoming meeting. As always, thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Director of Public Works
