AN ORDINANCE 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.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Common Council recognizes the need for "use district
regulations" which are presently contained in the municipal
zoning laws.
The Council further recognizes that blighted areas within
the City have been diminished by the restriction of controlled
uses within one thousand feet of any two (2) controlled uses.
The Council acknowledges that the Municipal Code presently
designates an area in the downtown which is exempt from the locational
restrictions. In order to promote further downtown development,
the Council finds that the downtown area which is presently exempt
should be enlarged to include the property commonly referred to as
the Union Station.

OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, as follows:

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
