Agenda: Bill 06 -15 Rezoning - 3408 Ardmore Trail
Bill 15 -17 Special Exception —609 LaSalle St.
Zoning & Annexation Committee Chair Oliver Davis called the meeting to order noting two bills up for
consideration.
The first bill 06 -15, amended to correct the legal description, was a petition to rezone a 9.9 acre parcel
having vacant 83,000 sq. ft. retail building on Ardmore Trail for the Career Academy of South Bend Inc.
Mike Danch provided a site plan (attached) and briefly described the proposal.
The request was more fully outlined by Matthew Chappuies, a planner from the Area Plan Commission
(APC) staff. He reported that the APC had forwarded the bill with a unanimous favorable
recommendation. Matthew described the plan to convert the vacant building to a school as an asset for
the community creating a more aesthetically pleasing site compatible with the nearby library and
neighborhood. The Career Academy would serve an estimated 600 students.
Following the discussion Valerie Schey made a motion to recommend favorably. Henry Davis seconded
and all affirmed.
The next bill 15 -17, requested a special exception and variance for a parcel located at 609 LaSalle.
The parcel was a former car wash purchased and cleared by St. Joseph Parish to provide off street
parking for 69 vehicles.
Mark Lyons reported that Board of Zoning Appeals had given the proposal a favorable recommendation.
There was no one to make a presentation so the Committee gave no recommendation on motions by
Gavin Ferlic and Valerie Schey, supported by all.
Oliver Davis adjourned the meeting at 3:44 P.M.
