®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK Committee Chair Davis then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the legislation. There were none. He then turned the floor back to the Committee for further comment or main motion. Councilmember Tim Scott stated, As Kathy said, this is our sixth (6th) go around on this. This is another one (1) of these buildings that, I don't think will turn into anything else without the creativity of collaboration. Everyone is collaborating and think that is a good thing. They have come so close over and over again. My wife was the one (1) that submitted the very first (Ist) application which we got bumped below the Hoffman Hotel project. This would be a great center piece right along Portage Avenue. I appreciate support on this and this was good teamwork from everybody. Committeemember Broden requested a copy of the application. Committeemember John Voorde made a motion to send Bill No. 18-34 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Ferlic seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of four(4) ayes. Committeemember Ferlic then made a motion to hear together Bill Nos. 26-18 and 18-36 for purposes of public hearing. Committeemember Broden seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of four(4) ayes. Bill No 26-18- 24632, 24650, 24700, 24810, 24820, 24762 US Highway 20 and 54270 Pine Road Annexation Bill No. 18-36- South Bend Chocolate Annexation Fiscal Plan Ms. Smith stated, Before you is a project that I am sure you are very familiar with. It is a proposed planning and development. We are essentially at the corner of the bypass (referencing a presentation which is available in the City Clerk's Office). Some of this property came in a couple of years ago for an annexation when the airport owned it. They annexed it and it is zoned LI — Light Industrial. When Mr. Turner started talking to us about his project,I know you guys are fully aware that we are not keen on using Planned Unit Development method, but this case is a prime example of why we have that district classification. The mix of uses proposed in this project are such that we could not put it in any district within the City of South Bend and allow for the wide range of uses. By the time you add the agricultural type uses, the commercial and residential, we simply don't have a zoning district that would accommodate all of those things. So shy of parceling out certain areas for certain uses which might restrict the development as the project goes on, the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District is really the only option here. She continued, So this PUD essentially has the edge of the City and will also be picking up a couple of parcels in the County. It will be surrounded by County-zoned Manufacturing and Residential in the area. This (referencing the presentation) is the proposed entrance off of Lincoln Way. The PUD will essentially have two(2)districts. The Core District will allow for a wide range of uses. The description of it was an `old world village.'_They included uses such as the factory, the dinosaur museum, a restaurant,retail,hotel,possibly a fuel station and a Farmer's Market. The other district will be the Agricultural District and this is designed to highlight the natural and agricultural amenities of the property. These include things such as orchards, buffalo paddocks, EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building!227W Jefferson Bvld I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.9221 f 574.235.9173 I TTD 574.235.55671 www•southbendin.gov 4
