AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA,AMENDING CHAPTER 6 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE TO
INCLUDE A NEW ARTICLE 5 ADDRESSING ENGINEERING SERVICE CHARGES
IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION PROCESS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The South Bend Department of Public Works through its Engineering Division
regularly and frequently performs review and analysis of real estate development projects within
the City of South Bend, Indiana, as part of the St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission and the
Board of Zoning Appeals approval process for plats, site plans, special exceptions, variances
and similar land use applications under the City's Zoning Ordinance, as expressed at Chapter
21, Article 1, Section 21-01.01(c) of the South Bend Municipal Code (the Code).
The countywide Area Plan Commission has established a fee schedule for its own review,
analysis, and administration of applications seeking approval for various forms of land use, but
the City of South Bend has not separately charged for, nor has it received from the County Area
Plan Commission compensation for the services rendered by the City's Engineering Division
related to land use application projects.
The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize the City's Public Works Department and
Engineering Division to charge reasonable fees to recover the costs of providing certain services
to those persons filing applications for development plan approval under Chapter 21, Article 9,
Section 21-09.05(d) of the Code. Certain towns within St. Joseph County such as Lakeville, New
Carlisle, North Liberty, and Osceola are currently charging separate fees for their similar
services.
At this time when property tax revenues do not and cannot keep pace with costs of
furnishing local governmental services, it is equitable that persons who require City review and
expertise related to development plans defray the City's costs for the time and expenses incurred
to furnish such expertise and services. This ordinance addresses, and is necessary and proper, to
support the City's fiscal needs.
Now, Therefore, Be It Ordained by the Common Council of the City of South Bend,
Indiana, as follows:
Section I. Chapter 6 of the South Bend Municipal Code shall be amended to add a new Article
5 to read in its entirety as follows:
1
Article 5. Engineering Fees For Subdivisions, Rezoning, Site Plans,And Miscellaneous
Land Use

In order to defray administrative costs, applicants seeking approval for subdivisions,
rezoning, site plans and miscellaneous land use under the City of South Bend Zoning
Ordinance, Chapter 21 of the South Bend Municipal Code, shall pay at the time of
application a separate fee to the City of South Bend for services rendered in the
application process. The Schedule of fees shall be as follows:
