REGULAR MEETING <br />JULY 12, 1999 <br />he has recused himself from voting on this matter as he has a conflict of interest. <br />Mr. John Byorni, Assistant Director, Area Plan Commission, Room 1140 County -City Building, <br />South Bend, Indiana, presented the report from the Commission. Mr. Byomi advised that the <br />petitioner is requesting a zone change from "E" Heavy Industrial, `B" Height and Area to `B" <br />Residential, "C" Height and Area to allow for an apartment complex with carports and garages. Mr. <br />Byorni noted that the property currently contains an industrial building. The total site to be rezoned <br />is 2.46 acres with the building occupying thirty -one per cent (31 %) of the site, the parking and drives <br />occupying thirty -one per cent (31 %) of the site and thirty -nine per cent (39 %) of the site remaining <br />as open space. Mr. Byorni further noted that an access easement must be obtained through the <br />property to the east. Based on the Public Hearing held on June 15, 1999, the Area Plan <br />Commission's sent this petition to the Council with a favorable recommendation. <br />Mr. Bernard Feeney, Lang, Feeney & Associates, Inc., 715 South Michigan Street, South Bend, <br />Indiana, made the presentation for this bill on behalf of John Freidline, Principle, Indiana Land Trust <br />5152. Mr. Feeney noted that this area encompasses a portion of the former Sollitt Construction <br />Company which they are asking be rezoned to allow for apartments. The east building will remain <br />and will be rented for office space. The former equipment storage yard and the west building will <br />be replaced with the proposed apartments. The developer is proposing the construction of sixty -six <br />(66) units with carports and garages. <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and <br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br />There being no one present wishing to address the Council either in favor of or in opposition to this <br />bill, Councilmember Aranowski made a motion to send this bill to the full Council favorably. <br />Council President Coleman seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />BILL NO. 39 -99 A BILL AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR <br />PROPERTY LOCATED AT 511 E. COLFAX, IN THE CITY OF <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA <br />Councilmember Kelly made a motion to hear the substitute version of this bill. Council President <br />Coleman seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />Councilmember Hosinski reported that the Zoning & Annexation Committee met on this bill and <br />sends it to the Council with a 3 -1 unfavorable recommendation. <br />Mr. John Byorni, Assistant Director, Area Plan Commission, Room 1140 County -City Building, <br />South Bend, Indiana, presented the report from the Commission. Mr. Byomi advised that the <br />petitioner is requesting a zone change from "A -3" Mixed Use, "G" Height and Area to "C" <br />Commercial, "G" Height and Area to allow the sale and marketing of retail signage for buildings, <br />property and vehicles. <br />Mr. Byorni noted that the property currently contains a vacant commercial building. Access to the <br />site is from Colfax and Niles Avenues. The total site to be rezoned is 11,426 square feet. Of that, <br />the buildings will occupy forty -six per cent (46 %) of the site and parking and drives will occupy <br />fifty -four per cent (54 %) of the site. <br />Based on the Public Hearing held on June 15, 1999, the Area Plan Commission sent this petition to <br />the Council with an unfavorable recommendation. This site is part of a larger "A -3" zoned area on <br />the East Bank. The mixed use zoning district was designed and implemented to encourage business <br />and residential friendly development around the downtown. Piecemeal commercial zoning within <br />the larger fringe district defeats the purpose of the East Bank area as an entertainment and service <br />commercial area and allows intrusive commercial uses near homes and offices. The petitioner's <br />current business is allowed in "A -3" zoning and the City supports their location at this site. The <br />rezoning, however, is intended to allow an expansion of the business to include services that are not <br />
