SOU TH`8��� <br /> F <br /> U C <br /> PEACE�'�,�"q <br /> 1865 <br /> Oliver Davis <br /> 6th District Council Member <br /> Vice President <br /> • Shared Housing Text Amendment <br /> • Coveleski Minor Special Exception <br /> • Dollar Genral Rezoning <br /> • Waggoner Dairy Farm Rezoning at Adams &Mayflower <br /> • Eddy Street Commons Phase II Rezoning& Special Exception <br /> • Gloria Deli Special Exception <br /> • Cleveland Road/Baney Annexation Area Rezoning <br /> • Crate Escape Rezoning <br /> • CBD Zoning Text Amendment <br /> • Indoor Storage Text Amendment <br /> • Transfer of ABZA&Zoning Administration from the Building Department to the <br /> Area Plan Commission. <br /> The Committee also reviewed text amendments to Chapter 21 of the South Bend Municipal Code <br /> which is aimed at protecting neighborhoods through closing loopholes in the SF- Single Family <br /> zoning designation definition. In the future,the Committee will take a closer look at other text <br /> amendments in Chapter 21 in order to promote density in the Central Business District. The <br /> Committee also intends to attend training in January 2018 which will educate the Council on the <br /> statutory guidelines we are bound to as it relates to various land use decisions. <br /> Most importantly, as the City of South Bend experiences new growth and development, <br /> especially within the CBD, it is imperative that this Committee works collaboratively and <br /> proactively with the Administration,the Area Plan Commission and other quasi-judicial bodies <br /> to review and update the City of South Bend' s Comprehensive Plan&PUD ordinance— <br /> ensuring that growth and development are not impeded by an out of date planning ordinance but <br /> rather incentivized and informed through sound policy. <br /> The Zoning and Annexation Committee brochure which is available from the Council's website <br /> and from the Office of the City Clerk continues to be helpful to the public at large on matters <br /> which come before the Committee. I recommend that it be updated again in 2018 to reflect the <br /> duties and statutory requirements set before the Committee. <br /> The sheer number of rezoning and special exception request indicates that there is growing <br /> interest and activity in the City of South Bend. Sound planning policies are critical to moving our <br /> city forward. <br /> 227 W.Jefferson Blvd.Rm.441 Office: (574)235-9321 FAX: (574)235-5575 <br /> County-City Building South Bend,IN Voicemail: (574)235-5986 TDD: (574)235-5567 <br /> 46601-1830 Cell: (574)876-6938 Email:ODAVIS @SOUTHBENDIN.GOV <br />
