Because the City of South Bend has been annexing to its boundaries realty which previously lay within St. Joseph County, it is in the best interest of the citizens of South Bend that landmarks previously designated within the County be accorded landmark status in the City of South Bend upon annexation. This Ordinance will accomplish that objective and assure continuity of historic landmark designations between the City and County.
