JOHNSON Executive Director (219) 284 -9571 April 18, 1979 In Re: An ordinance initiated by Mary Chris Adams; Councilman, to include the Union Station property in the area of the central business district excluded from certain provisions of the Controlled Use Ordinance, City of South Bend Gentlemen: The attached rezoning petition of Mary Chris Adams was legally advertised April 7, 1979. The Area Plan Commission gave it a public hearing on April 17, 1979, at which time the following action was taken: "Upon a motion by Joseph Serge, being seconded by Joseph Simeri, and unanimously carried, the petition of Mary Chris Adams, Councilman, to include the Union Station property in the area of the central business district excluded from certain provisions of the Controlled Use Ordinance, City of South Bend, is returned to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation, by the Area Plan Commission." The Commission is of the opinion that if the petition area is exempted from the Controlled Use Ordinance, renovation of the Union Station into an adaptive reuse would be possible. Without exemption the reuse potentials would be rather limited. The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above decision are shown in excerpts of the minutes and will be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report. Attached for your consideration in the review of this matter is a copy of the Area Plan Commission staff report. Very truly yours, - Richard S. Johnson, Executive Director RSJ /cm Serving: South Bend, Lakeville, New Carlisle, North Liberty, Roseland & St. Joseph, County, IN on to Tommm (10umil of #4r (iti #g of Our# jjen&: Your Committee OF THE WHOLE to whom was referred A BILL AMENDING CHAPTER 21, ARTICLE 2, DIVISION 7, SECTION 21 -18 COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND.
