REGULAR MEETING
<br />RESOLUTION NO. 316 -72 (CONTINUED)
<br />JULY 24, 1972
<br />A public hearing was held on this resolution at this time. Mr. James Seitz, Superintendent of
<br />the Park Department, explained the need for the transfer. He referred to a letter sent to
<br />members of the Council explaining the transfers. Part of the money is needed for the Linden
<br />project, to pay for demolition costs and attorney's fees. Part of this cost is refundable
<br />through HUD and when that money is received, the money will be deposited in the General Park
<br />Fund. More money is needed in the Zoo Feed Account because of the increasing cost of food,
<br />especially meat. This account was underbudgeted for this year. General Park Materials Account
<br />needs additional money to continue to improve park facilities. This account was also under -
<br />budgeted for 1972. Councilman Serge made a motion that the resolution be adopted, seconded by
<br />Councilman Taylor. The motion carried and the resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of
<br />nine ayes (Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller, Parent, Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn
<br />and Nemeth).
<br />RESOLUTION NO. 317 -72 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
<br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND, ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA,
<br />IN THE MATTER OF REZONING THE CENTRAL DOWNTOWN
<br />PROJECT, INDIANA R -66.
<br />The City of South Bend Department of Redevelopment currently is engaged in the comprehen-
<br />sive redevelopment of the Central Downtown Project Indiana R -66 area. Toward this end, the
<br />Department of Redevelopment has acquired much of the property and demolished many of the build-
<br />ings in this area and is now in the process of disposing of some of the acquired property to
<br />private parties for both commercial and multi - family residential uses. These undertakings have
<br />led the Department of Redevelopment to the conclusion that redevelopment in general and dispo-
<br />sition in particular require this area to be rezoned. At the present time, the area is zoned
<br />into four use districts and four height and area districts. The Common Council of the City of
<br />South Bend has considered or will consider proposed ordinances which rezone the area into only
<br />two use areas and a single height and area district by amending and supplementing the existing
<br />zoning ordinance No. 4990 -68 Chapter 40 of the Municipal Code. This rezoning proposal would
<br />facilitate-.the area's redevelopment by providing for a uniform and flexible land use and by
<br />increasing the marketability of properties to be disposed of by the Department of Redevelopment.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend that it is
<br />necessary for the Central Downtown Project Indiana R -66 area to be rezoned into two use district:
<br />and one height and area district, as follows:
<br />The area labeled "A" on the map entitled Proposed Rezoning Districts for the
<br />Central Downtown Urban Renewal Project R -66 rezoned a "C" Commercial, "G" Height
<br />and Area District. The area labeled "B" on the same map rezoned a "B" Residential,
<br />"G" Height and Area District;
<br />AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this resolution and the aforementioned ordinances are to be
<br />submitted to the Area Plan Commission for their analysis and that the Area Plan Commission
<br />expeditiously report their comments and recommendations to the Common Council of the City of
<br />South Bend.
<br />/s/ Peter J. Nemeth.
<br />Member of the Common Council of the
<br />City of South Bend, Indiana
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Kevin Butler, Attorney for the
<br />Redevelopment Department, explained that this resolution and two ordinances are being presented
<br />to the Council in regard to rezoning the downtown. Mr. Butler presented the Council members
<br />with a map showing the proposed zoning districts in the downtown. This proposal would provide
<br />for a uniform and flexible land use and increase the marketability of properties to be disposed
<br />of in the Downtown R -66 area. Miss Guthrie asked Mr. Butler if this included the total R -66
<br />area and he replied that it did with the exception of the Post Office site which has already
<br />been rezoned. Councilman Parent moved for adoption of the resolution, seconded by Councilman
<br />Horvath. The motion carried and the resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of nine ayes
<br />(Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller, Parent, Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn and Nemeth).
