SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 2 of 4 Staff Report-PC#0302-26 4/20/2026 Site & Context Land Uses and Zoning: On site: Park land zoned S1 Suburban Neighborhood 1 North: Undeveloped forest zoned S1 Suburban Neighborhood 1 East: One unit dwellings zoned U1 Urban Neighborhood 1 South: Park land zoned OS Open Space West: Undeveloped forest zoned S1 Suburban Neighborhood 1 District Intent: The OS District is established to promote the development of a range of public shared open spaces dispersed through the City. Site Plan Description: These properties are part of Rum Village Park. The petitioner wishes to rezone these properties to bring them under the same zoning designation as the rest of the park. Zoning and Land Use History and Trends: The land appears to have been cleared and reforested a few times since the early-to-mid 1900s, but has never been formally developed and has been forested since about the 1980s. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: The properties cannot be accessed directly by a vehicle, as they are internal to a large park. They can be accessed by foot and potentially by bicycle. Users can get to these properties by first passing through the property to the south, which is located on S Gertrude St. This is a 27' wide two-way street that runs north and south with one lane of traffic going in each direction. Agency Comments Agency Comments: No comments at this time. Staff Comments: No additional comments at this time. Criteria for Decision Making Rezoning Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to: 1. Comprehensive Plan: Policy Plan: In the city's comprehensive plan, Objective LU 8 calls upon the city to "preserve green space land uses." More specifically, policy LU 8.2 says to "encourage the retention of open spaces for recreational purposes." Land Use Plan: These properties fall within the Rum Village neighborhood. In the 2022 neighborhood plan, the future zoning map shows them as remaining S1. Plan Implementation/Other Plans: Strategy 2.4 in the Rum Village neighborhood plan outlines a plan to "complete park improvements following a park master planning process," which is currently being implemented by the city's Venues, Parks, and Arts department. 2. Current Conditions and Character: These properties are surrounded by undeveloped, forested park land to the south, west, and north. To the east, there are one-story residential structures fronting on S Gertrude St. SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 4 Staff Report-PC#0302-26 4/20/2026 3. Most Desirable Use: The most desirable use for these properties would be to maintain them as city-owned park land. 4. Conservation of Property Values: Rezoning these properties to OS should not significantly affect their property values or those of neighboring properties. The primary goal behind rezoning these properties is simply to bring them under the same zoning designation as the rest of Rum Village Park, which is already zoned as OS. 5. Responsible Development and Growth: No development is being proposed on these properties. Analysis & Recommendation Commitments: No commitments are proposed. Analysis: Although the Rum Village neighborhood plan calls for these properties to remain S1 in the future zoning map, a rezoning to OS also makes sense. These properties are part of the city- owned Rum Village Park and will be staying as such. Also, the rest of the park is already zoned as OS. Therefore, it makes sense to bring these properties under the same zoning designation as the rest of the park. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends the Plan Commission send the rezoning petition to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation.

J ' Ai 1 ' i SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 5 Staff Report -PC#0303-26 5/18/2026 Site & Context Land Uses and Zoning: On site: Vacant land zoned U1 Urban Neighborhood 1 North: One unit dwellings zoned U1 Urban Neighborhood 1 East: One unit dwellings and vacant land zoned U2 Urban Neighborhood 2 South: A multi-unit dwelling zoned U2 Urban Neighborhood 2 West: One unit dwellings zoned U1 Urban Neighborhood 1 District Intent: The U2 District is established to provide for, promote, and maintain the development of diverse housing types in urban neighborhoods located near neighborhood centers in core and outlying areas of the City. Site Plan Description: The petitioner wishes to rezone these properties to U2 to allow for the townhouse building type, with the intention of building two groups of three townhomes. Zoning and Land Use History and Trends: Although all of these parcels are now vacant, there were originally developed with a mixture of one- and two-unit dwellings. The earliest homes were built in the late 1800s, with all of them being completed by 1917. They all remained until at least 1972, after which it appears that the homes were demolished in a piecemeal fashion until they were all gone by 2022. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: These properties are located on N. Scott Street, a 30' wide two-way street that runs north and south with one lane of traffic going in each direction, between Lincoln Way West and Lindsey Street. They are served by an alley at the rear of each property, and there is also an east-west alley that runs along the southern property line of 604. Agency Comments Agency Comments: No comments at this time. Criteria for Decision Making Rezoning Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to: 1. Comprehensive Plan: Policy Plan: In the city's comprehensive plan, Objective H 1 calls upon the city to "ensure that an adequate supply of housing is available to meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of households now and in the future." Land Use Plan: This property falls within the Near Northwest neighborhood. In the 2019 neighborhood the future zoning map shows these parcels as remaining U1, but the plan recommends more intense housing in areas near Lincoln Way West. Plan Implementation/Other Plans: These properties were specifically identified as future development sites in the 2019 Near Northwest Neighborhood plan. More generally, Strategies 2 and 3 in the neighborhood plan call SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 4 of 5 Staff Report -PC#0303-26 5/18/2026 for housing development and vacant lot activation, two objectives which this project would achieve. 2. Current Conditions and Character: These properties are surrounded by low-density, one and two-story structures and vacant lots on all sides. The structures are all residential in character. 3. Most Desirable Use: The most desirable use for these properties would be small-scale multi-family development. 4. Conservation of Property Values: Rezoning these properties should not negatively affect their own property values, or the value of neighboring properties. This project will raise the values of the properties being rezoned, as a developed property will have a higher value than a vacant one. U2 also allows for denser development than U1, meaning that the rezoning could allow for higher property values to be generated on site. 5. Responsible Development and Growth: Rezoning these properties to U2 aligns with the principles of responsible development and growth, as it will allow for denser infill development in an established neighborhood on a street with existing city utilities. Analysis & Recommendation Commitments: No commitments are proposed. Analysis: Although the Near Northwest Neighborhood plan calls for these parcels to remain U1 in the future zoning map, a rezoning to U2 also makes sense. They are bordered by U2 parcels to the east and south, and they are in close proximity to two major corridors in Lincoln Way West and Portage Avenue. Additionally, the townhomes being proposed will match the scale and character of the surrounding neighborhood, including neighboring one- and two-unit dwellings in U1. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends the Plan Commission send the rezoning petition to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation.

The right-of-way vacation would increase the 718 Napoleon St. lot size by approximately 6% to facilitate the subdivision of the lot into two lots that each accommodate a newly constructed home. The community benefits of this project include: •The replacement of a rental home at the end of its useful life with two new owner occupied homes for full-time residents and ongoing members of the South Bend community, including ourselves and another local family seeking to live near downtown and Notre Dame. •A new sidewalk along 718 Napoleon St. •Replacement of the existing non-ADA compliant curbs with ADA accessible ramps on Napoleon St., both at the comer at St. Peter St. (our property) and the comer at St. Louis Blvd. (the neighboring church's property). •Replacement of the older and heaving sidewalk all along St. Peter St. Required exhibits, legal descriptions and supporting documentation are included for your review. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. Please do not hesitate to contact us should additional information be required.

The following comments and recommendations were submitted: Per IC 36-7-3-13, the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building or place. The vacation would not hinder the use of a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. Therefore,the Board of Public Works submitted a favorable recommendation for the vacation of this right-of-way. If you still wish to pursue this right-of-way vacation, please bring this BPW Recommendation Packet to the City Clerk's Office, located on the 4th floor of the County-City Building.Alley/Street vacations require a presentation to the Common Council, approval of an ordinance, and certification of the ordinance from the Mayor.

Jefferson Boulevard, Ste. 1316 South Bend, Indiana 46601 From: Chris Godlewski Abonmarche Consultants 315 West Jefferson Boulevard South Bend, Indiana 46601 C/O: Dave & Jennifer Ludwig (applicant) 718 Napoleon Street South Bend, Indiana 46617 Re: 710 & 718 Napoleon St. - Right of Way Vacation Dear South Bend Board of Public Works, The applicant has developed plans to subdivide their lot at 718 Napoleon St. into a corner lot with a home facing St. Peter St. and a lot with a home facing Napoleon St. Construction of zoning compliant, single-family homes would commence upon completion of all required permitting. Please see Attachment 1 - Site Drawings of the proposed lots and home footprints. Related to this planned development project please accept this updated request, along with the City Staff report, for a Right of Way (ROW) Vacation on Napoleon St. between St. Peter St. and St. Louis Boulevard. The proposed vacation is 3.70' in width and extends the length of the applicant's property at 718 Napoleon St. and the property of the adjoining church, Greater Holy Temple Church of God in Christ Inc. The purpose for this request is twofold: To relocate the Napoleon St. sidewalk such that the resultant tree lawn mimics the tree lawns immediately north and east of the property. To increase the 718 Napoleon St. lot size by approximately 6% to facilitate the subdivision of the lot into two lots that each accommodate a newly constructed home. The relocation of the sidewalk and ROW vacation have the combined effect of a more fitting and aesthetically pleasing sidewalk location in relation to the planned locations and footprints of the new homes. 315 West Jefferson Boulevard,South Bend,IN 46601 •574.232.8700 abonmarche.com The overall community benefits of this project include: The replacement of a rental home at the end of its useful life with two new homes that will be owned and occupied by full-time residents and ongoing members of the South Bend community who wish to live nearer to downtown and Notre Dame. A new sidewalk and renewed tree lawn area along Napoleon St., aligned with the recently renewed sidewalk and tree lawn east of the property on the south side of Napoleon. Replacement of the existing ADA non-compliant curbs with ADA accessible ramps on Napoleon St., both at the corner at St. Peter St. (the applicant's property) and the corner at St. Louis Blvd. (the church's property). Replacement of the old and heaving sidewalk all along the applicant's frontage on St. Peter St. All expenses, including the new tree lawn, new sidewalks, and ADA ramps will be funded by the applicant for the Ludwig and church properties. The staff has provided a recommendation with concern, and a continued review by the Ludwig's and their home builder & engineer, concluded an additional reduction of the ROW ask to 3.7' fits a better aesthetic and lot size for the home development. Continuation of this petition incorporates feedback from City officials, also representation from the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization and the Northeast Neighborhood Community association, as well as the University of Notre Dame. Please see the attached letter of support from Mr. Greg Hakenan. In addition to the community benefits, we note the history of recent ROW vacations along Napoleon St., as shown in Attachment 2 - Area Right of Way Vacations. The request to vacate the ROW along the entire length of the block has to do with aligning the two homes on the property in a manner that can fit both two street frontages, maintaining an appropriate distance to a proposed public sidewalk, improving the sidewalk accessibility where two new ADA curb ramps will exist on St. Louis Blvd. and St. Peter St., providing for a new manicured tree lawn with approved South Bend trees, and generally creating a clean aesthetic streetscape. The proposed sidewalk is suggested to move 8' closer to the curb on Napoleon and properly align with the tree lawn size/sidewalk placement to the north and the east. A consideration like this is common in this neighborhood to realign the public space to fit current development patterns and use of the Right of Way. The regulatory review looks at right of way vacation in terms of aesthetics and appeal, assures this does not hinder or diminish access to either of the properties in any way and each parcel enjoys full access to dedicated streets, does not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building and does not hinder a public way and allows vehicle, pedestrian, and bike traffic to continue. O:\Projects\2025\25.0559 Ludwig Minor Subdivision\05 PERMITS F.APPROVALS\vocation Application\Updafred_Ludwig Vocation_drafldocx This vacation does not hinder the order growth of the neighborhood and matches existing ROW location and sidewalk placement and will be harmonious in aesthetics and appeal. This ROW vacation does not hinder or diminish access to either of the properties in any way, and each parcel enjoys full access to dedicated streets. This ROW vacation does not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building as current access is maintained and does not restrict any additional access points. The vacation does not hinder a public way and allows vehicle, pedestrian, and bike traffic to continue, and improves the crosswalk and makes it more accessible to mobility-impaired users. Additional ease of travel will occur with the tree lawn replacement and increased quality and accessibility of a new sidewalk. We ask that this petition be reviewed, and we respectfully request a favorable recommendation from the board of public works for consideration.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. South Bend, Indiana 46601 Re: Support for Vacation Petition for 710 & 718 Napoleon Street To the Members of the Board: I am writing in support of the petition by Dave and Jennifer Ludwig for 1)vacation of 3.7 feet of City right-of-way along Napoleon Street and 2) relocation of the existing sidewalk on the south side of Napoleon between St. Peter Street and St. Louis Blvd. I write as a private citizen with a great deal of experience in the physical transformation that has taken place in the Northeast Neighborhood over the last 20+years: I served as the University of Notre Dame's Director of Northeast Neighborhood Redevelopment from June 2004 until September 2019. In that capacity I represented the University in the development of Eddy Street Commons, oversaw the Notre Dame Avenue Housing Program, and represented the University and the NNRO in the redevelopment of The Triangle. From 2004 to 2019 I was one of Notre Dame's two voting representatives to the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization. I continue to serve the NNRO as a volunteer member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. In one capacity or another, my entire focus for the last 21 years has been the thoughtful, environmentally-sensitive, high-quality redevelopment of the Northeast Neighborhood. Dave and Jennifer have shared with me their plans to build two homes on what is currently a single lot at 718 Napoleon Street. To accomplish this, they are requesting that the City 1) vacate a small (3.7 feet) strip of right-of-way on the south side of Napoleon and 2) allow them to rebuild/relocate the Napoleon/St. Peter sidewalk. Based on my experience in the neighborhood, I believe that this request is consistent with long-established revitalization objectives in the Northeast Neighborhood (NEN): It replaces a single old rental property with twohigh-quality, owner-occupied homes. Promoting owner-occupied homes has been central to the collective mission in the NEN since I arrived in 2004.The initial problem was the existence of student rentals in what had originally been family homes, negatively affecting quality of life for family residents. As the neighborhood improved, it became attractive to out-of-town Notre Dame alumni/ae to buy/build "football houses," residences that are only occupied on football weekends and other limited times during the year, which can lead to a vacant, lifeless neighborhood. The proposed homes will be occupied by two families that have long standing in South Bend and who intend to remain in residence for many years to come. This not only displaces a rental property but modestly enhances housing density in the NEN. Building the two proposed homes on this site legitimately requires some flex on the part of the City. The requested changes improve,rather than detract from,the physical environment. The Ludwigs have proposed to replace at their own cost the existing sidewalks along Napoleon and St. Peter. Both sidewalks are deteriorated and will benefit visually and functionally by new construction. In addition, the Napoleon sidewalk does not align where it crosses St. Peter, and relocation will align those sidewalk segments. To their credit, the Ludwigs have reached out to secure the cooperation of the church to the west and will cover the cost of construction for that portion of sidewalk as well. Finally, new construction will allow for ADA-compliant curb cuts at both St. Peter and St. Louis. For the above reasons, I support the Ludwig's petition.

Jefferson Boulevard, Ste. 1316 South Bend, Indiana 46601 From: Chris Godlewski Abonmarche Consultants 315 West Jefferson Boulevard South Bend, Indiana 46601 C/O: Dave & Jennifer Ludwig 718 Napoleon Boulevard South Bend, Indiana 46617 Re: 710 & 718 Napoleon Boulevard - Right of Way Vacation To whom it may concern, Please accept this application for a Right of Way (ROW) Vacation on Napoleon Street between St. Louis Boulevard and St. Peter Street. The proposed vacation is 15' in width and extends the length of the Ludwig's property and the adjoining church, Holy Temple Church of God in Christ Inc. The proposed vacation would mimic certain spacing on the north side of Napoleon Boulevard and would be matched to what is proposed and existing on the south side of Napoleon. The attached graphic shows two separate vacations immediately east of the Ludwig's property and would match the ROW line and sidewalk location, this development would create ADA ramps where they do not exist now and line up with adjoining sidewalks. The Ludwig's, are in regular communication with the church and have requested the church to accompany this petition and details for a joint application are herein located. This vacation does not hinder the order growth of the neighborhood and matches existing ROW location and sidewalk placement and will be harmonious in aesthetics and appeal. This ROW vacation does not hinder or diminish access to either of the properties in any way and each parcel enjoys full access to dedicated streets. This ROW vacation does not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building as current access is maintained and does not restrict any additional access points. The vacation does not hinder a public way and allows vehicle, pedestrian, and bike traffic to continue. Additional ease of travel will occur with the tree lawn replacement and increased quality and accessibility of a new sidewalk. We ask that this petition be reviewed and sent on with a favorable recommendation to the board of public works for consideration.
