AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE SOUTH BEND COMMON

THE SOUTH BEND MUNCIPAL CODE ADDRESSING
SMOKEFREE AIR REGULATIONS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The 2006 U.S. Surgeon General's Report, The Health Consequences of Involuntary
Exposure to Tobacco Smoke, has concluded that (1) secondhand smoke exposure causes disease
and premature death in children and adults who do not smoke; (2) children exposed to
secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), acute
respiratory problems, ear infections, and asthma attacks, and that smoking by parents causes
respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children; (3) exposure of adults to
secondhand smoke has immediate adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and causes
coronary heart disease and lung cancer; (4) there is no risk -free level of exposure to secondhand
smoke; (5) establishing smokefree workplaces is the only effective way to ensure that
secondhand smoke exposure does not occur in the workplace, because ventilation and other air
cleaning technologies cannot completely control for exposure of nonsmokers to secondhand
smoke; and (6) evidence from peer- reviewed studies shows that smokefree policies and laws do
not have an adverse economic impact on the hospitality industry. (U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services. The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke: A
Report of the Surgeon General. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion, Office on Smoking and Health, 2006.) According to the 2010 U.S. Surgeon General's
Report, How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease, even occasional exposure to secondhand smoke is
harmful and low levels of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke lead to a rapid and sharp
increase in dysfunction and inflammation of the lining of the blood vessels, which are implicated
in heart attacks and stroke. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, How Tobacco
Smoke Causes Disease: The Biology and Behavioral Basis for Smoking - Attributable Disease: A
Report of the Surgeon General. Atlanta, GA: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion, Office on Smoking and Health, 2010.)
Numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major contributor to indoor air
pollution, and that breathing secondhand smoke (also known as environmental tobacco smoke) is
a cause of disease in healthy nonsmokers, including heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease, and
lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute determined in 1999 that secondhand smoke is
responsible for the early deaths of approximately 53,000 Americans annually. (National Cancer
Institute (NCI), "Health effects of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke: the report of the
California Environmental Protection Agency. Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph 10,"
Bethesda, MD: National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute (NCI), August 1999.)
Smokefree Air Ordinance of 2014 — 2nd Substitute Bill No. 31 -14
Page 2
The Public Health Service's National Toxicology Program (NTP) has listed secondhand
smoke as a known carcinogen. (Environmental Health Information Service (EHIS),
"Environmental tobacco smoke: first listed in the Ninth Report on Carcinogens," U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Public Health Service, NTP, 2000;
reaffirmed by the NTP in subsequent reports on carcinogens, 2003, 2005.)
Based on a finding by the California Environmental Protection Agency in 2005, the
California Air Resources Board has determined that secondhand smoke is a toxic air
contaminant, finding that exposure to secondhand smoke has serious health effects, including
low birth - weight babies; sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS); increased respiratory infections
in children; asthma in children and adults; lung cancer, sinus cancer, and breast cancer in
younger, premenopausal women; heart disease; and death. (California Air Resources Board
(ARB), "Appendix II Findings of the Scientific Review Panel: Findings of the Scientific Review
Panel on Proposed Identification of Environmental Tobacco Smoke as a Toxic Air Contaminant
as adopted at the Panel's June 24, 2005 Meeting," California Air Resources Board (ARB),
September 12, 2005.)
There is indisputable evidence that implementing 100% smoke -free environments is the
only effective way to protect the population from the harmful effects of exposure to secondhand
smoke. (World Health Organization (WHO), "Protection from exposure to secondhand smoke:
policy recommendations," World Health Organization (WHO), 2007.)
In reviewing 11 studies concluding that communities see an immediate reduction in heart attack
admissions after the implementation of comprehensive smokefree laws, the Institute of Medicine
of the National Academies concluded that data consistently demonstrate that secondhand smoke
exposure increases the risk of coronary heart disease and heart attacks and that smokefree laws
reduce heart attacks. (Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies, Board on
Population Health and Public Health Practice, Committee on Secondhand Smoke Exposure and
Acute Coronary Events, "Secondhand smoke exposure and cardiovascular effects: making sense
of the evidence," Washington, DC: National Academies Press, October 2009.)
A significant amount of secondhand smoke exposure occurs in the workplace. Employees who
work in smoke -filled businesses suffer a 25 -50% higher risk of heart attack and higher rates of
death from cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as increased acute respiratory disease and
measurable decrease in lung function. (Pitsavos, C.; Panagiotakos, D.B.; Chrysohoou, C.;
Skoumas, J.; Tzioumis, K.; Stefanadis, C.; Toutouzas, P., "Association between exposure to
environmental tobacco smoke and the development of acute coronary syndromes: the
CARD102000 case - control study," Tobacco Control 11(3): 220 -225, September 2002.)
Studies measuring cotinine (metabolized nicotine) and NNAL (metabolized nitrosamine NNK, a
tobacco - specific carcinogen linked to lung cancer) in hospitality workers find dramatic
reductions in the levels of these biomarkers after a smokefree law takes effect. Average cotinine
levels of New York City restaurant and bar workers decreased by 85% after the city's smokefree
law went into effect. ([n.a.], "The State of Smoke -Free New York City: A One Year Review,"
New York City Department of Finance, New York City Department of Health & Mental
Hygiene, New York City Department of Small Business Services, New York City Economic
Smokefree Air Ordinance of 2014- 2 "d Substitute Bill No. 31 -14
Page 3
Development Corporation, March 2004). After the implementation of Ontario, Canada's
Smokefree Indoor Air Law, levels of NNAL were reduced by 52% in nonsmoking casino
employees and cotinine levels fell by 98 %. (Geoffrey T. Fong, et. al., "The Impact of the Smoke -
Free Ontario Act on Air Quality and Biomarkers of Exposure in Casinos: A Quasi - Experimental
Study," Ontario Tobacco Control Conference, Niagara Falls, Ontario, December 2, 2006.)
Following a Health Hazard Evaluation of Las Vegas casino employees' secondhand smoke
exposure in the workplace, which included indoor air quality tests and biomarker assessments,
the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health ( NIOSH) concluded that the casino
employees are exposed to dangerous levels of secondhand smoke at work and that their bodies
absorb high levels of tobacco - specific chemicals NNK and cotinine during work shifts. NIOSH
also concluded that the "best means of eliminating workplace exposure to [secondhand smoke] is
to ban all smoking in the casinos." (Health hazard evaluation report: environmental and
biological assessment of environmental tobacco smoke exposure among casino dealers, Las
Vegas, NV. By Achutan C, West C, Mueller C, Boudreau Y, Mead K. Cincinnati, OH: U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, NIOSH HETA No. 2005 -0076 and 2005-
0201 -3080, May 2009.)
Secondhand smoke is particularly hazardous to elderly people, individuals with
cardiovascular disease, and individuals with impaired respiratory function, including asthmatics
and those with obstructive airway disease. (California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal
EPA), "Health effects of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke ", Tobacco Control 6(4): 346-
353, Winter, 1997.) The Americans With Disabilities Act, which requires that disabled persons
have access to public places and workplaces, deems impaired respiratory function to be a
disability. (Daynard, R.A., "Environmental tobacco smoke and the Americans with Disabilities
Act," Nonsmokers' Voice 15(1): 8 -9.)
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that the risk of acute
myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease associated with exposure to tobacco smoke is
non - linear at low doses, increasing rapidly with relatively small doses such as those received
from secondhand smoke or actively smoking one or two cigarettes a day, and has warned that all
patients at increased risk of coronary heart disease or with known coronary artery disease should
avoid all indoor environments that permit smoking. (Pechacek, Terry F.; Babb, Stephen,
"Commentary: How acute and reversible are the cardiovascular risks of secondhand smoke ?"
British Medical Journal 328: 980 -983, April 24, 2004.)
Given the fact that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke, the American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) bases its
ventilation standards on totally smokefree environments. ASHRAE has determined that there is
currently no air filtration or other ventilation technology that can completely eliminate all the
carcinogenic components in secondhand smoke and the health risks caused by secondhand
smoke exposure, and recommends that indoor environments be smokefree in their entirety.
( Samet, J.; Bohanon, Jr., H.R.; Coultas, D.B.; Houston, T.P.; Persily, A.K.; Schoen, L.J.;

Spengler, J.; Callaway, C.A., "ASHRAE position document on environmental tobacco smoke,"
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air - Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), 2005.)
During periods of active smoking, peak and average outdoor tobacco smoke (OTS) levels
measured in outdoor cafes and restaurant and bar patios near smoker's rival indoor tobacco
smoke concentrations. (Klepeis, N.; Ott, W.R.; Switzer, P., "Real -time measurement of outdoor
tobacco smoke particles," Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association 57: 522 -534,
2007.) Nonsmokers who spend six -hour periods in outdoor smoking sections of bars and
restaurants experience a significant increase in levels of cotinine when compared to the cotinine
levels in a smokefree outdoor area. (Hall, J.C.; Bernert, J.T.; Hall, D.B.; St Helen, G.; Kudon,
L.H.; Naeher, L.P., "Assessment of exposure to secondhand smoke at outdoor bars and family
restaurants in Athens, Georgia, using salivary cotinine," Journal of Occupational and
Environmental Hygiene 6(11): 698 -704, November 2009.)
Residual tobacco contamination, or "thirdhand smoke," from cigarettes, cigars, and other
tobacco products is left behind after smoking occurs and builds up on surfaces and furnishings.
This residue can linger in spaces long after smoking has ceased and continue to expose people to
tobacco toxins. Sticky, highly toxic particulate matter, including nicotine, can cling to walls and
ceilings. Gases can be absorbed into carpets, draperies, and other upholsteries, and then be
reemitted (off - gassed) back into the air and recombine to form harmful compounds. (Singer,
B.C.; Hodgson, A.T.; Nazaroff, W.W., "Effect of sorption on exposures to organic gases from
environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)," Proceedings: Indoor Air 2002, 2002.) Tobacco residue is
noticeably present in dust throughout places where smoking has occurred. (Matt, G.E.; Quintana,
P.J.E.; Hovell, M.F.; Bernert, J.T.; Song, S.; Novianti, N.; Juarez, T.; Floro, J.; Gehrman, C.;
Garcia, M.; Larson, S., "Households contaminated by environmental tobacco smoke: sources of
infant exposures," Tobacco Control 13(1): 29 -37, March 2004.) Given the rapid sorption and
persistence of high levels of residual nicotine from tobacco smoke on indoor surfaces, including
clothing and human skin, this recently identified process represents an unappreciated health
hazard through dermal exposure, dust inhalation, and ingestion. (Sleiman, M.; Gundel, L.A.;
Pankow, J.F.; Jacob II1, P.; Singer, B.C.; Destaillats, H., "Formation of carcinogens indoors by
surface - mediated reactions of nicotine with nitrous acid, leading to potential thirdhand smoke
hazards," Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United Sates of America
(PNAS) 107(15): 6576 -6581, February 8, 2010.)
Unregulated high -tech smoking devices, commonly referred to as electronic cigarettes, or
"e- cigarettes," closely resemble and purposefully mimic the act of smoking by having users
inhale vaporized liquid nicotine created by heat through an electronic ignition system. After
testing a number of e- cigarettes from two leading manufacturers, the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) determined that various samples tested contained not only nicotine but
also detectable levels of known carcinogens and toxic chemicals, including tobacco- specific
nitrosamines and diethylene glycol, a toxic chemical used in antifreeze. The FDA's testing also
suggested that "quality control processes used to manufacture these products are inconsistent or
non - existent." &.a.], "Summary of results: laboratory analysis of electronic cigarettes conducted
by FDA," Food and Drug Administration (FDA), July 22, 2009;
http:// www. fda. gov/ NewsEvents/ PublicHealthFocus /ucml73146.htm Accessed on: October 22,
Smokefree Air Ordinance of 2014- 2nd Substitute Bill No. 31 -14
Page 5
2009.) E- cigarettes produce a vapor of undetermined and potentially harmful substances, which
may appear similar to the smoke emitted by traditional tobacco products. Their use in
workplaces and public places where smoking of traditional tobacco products is prohibited creates
concern and confusion and leads to difficulties in enforcing the smoking prohibitions.
The Society of Actuaries has determined that secondhand smoke costs the U.S. economy
roughly $10 billion a year: $5 billion in estimated medical costs associated with secondhand
smoke exposure and $4.6 billion in lost productivity. (Behan, D.F.; Eriksen, M.P.; Lin, Y.,
"Economic Effects of Environmental Tobacco Smoke," Society of Actuaries, March 31, 2005.)
Numerous economic analyses examining restaurant and hotel receipts and controlling for
economic variables have shown either no difference or a positive economic impact after
enactment of laws requiring workplaces to be smokefree. Creation of smokefree workplaces is
sound economic policy and provides the maximum level of employee health and safety. (Glantz,
S.A. & Smith, L., "The effect of ordinances requiring smokefree restaurants on restaurant sales
in the United States." American Journal of Public Health, 87:1687 -1693, 1997; Colman, R.;
Urbonas, C.M., "The economic impact of smoke -free workplaces: an assessment for Nova
Scotia, prepared for Tobacco Control Unit, Nova Scotia Department of Health," GPI Atlantic,
September 2001.)
There is no legal or constitutional "right to smoke." (Graff, S.K., "There is No
Constitutional Right to Smoke: 2008," Tobacco Control Legal Consortium, 2d edition, 2008.)
Business owners have no legal or constitutional right to expose their employees and customers to
the toxic chemicals in secondhand smoke. On the contrary, employers have a common law duty
to provide their workers with a workplace that is not unreasonably dangerous. (Graff, S.K.;
Zellers, L., "Workplace Smoking: Options for Employees and Legal Risks for Employers,"
Tobacco Control Legal Consortium, 2008.)
Smoking is a potential cause of fires; cigarette and cigar burns and ash stains on
merchandise and fixtures causes economic damage to businesses. ( "The high price of cigarette
smoking," Business & Health 15(8), Supplement A: 6 -9, August 1997.)
The smoking of tobacco is a form of air pollution, a positive danger to health, and a
material public nuisance.
The South Bend Common Council also recognizes that in February of 2014, the Indiana
Supreme Court, by a vote of 3 -2, found the City of Evansville, Indiana's smoking ban ordinance
unconstitutional due to an exemption it granted to a riverboat casino located within the city The
Supreme Court noted that the special exemption for the casino violated the Indiana
Constitution's Equal Privileges and Immunities Clause. The following ordinance has been
drafted to comply with the Indiana Supreme Court latest judicial ruling.

2709 -14.
Dear Council Members:
I hereby Certify that the above referenced ordinance of River Race Townhomes LLC was legally advertised on
Thursday, June 05, 2014 and that the Area Plan Commission at its public hearing on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 took
the following action:

PLEASE NOTE that the Ordinance has been amended by the petitioner and is different than that used for the
County Council's first reading. The amended Ordinance was legally advertised and heard by the Area Plan
Commission.

APC # 2709 -14
Owner: River Race Townhomes LLC
Location: 140 S. Niles Avenue
Jurisdiction: City of South Bend
Public Hearing Date: 6/17/2014
Requested Action:
The petitioner is requesting a zone change from CBD Central Business District to PUD
Planned Unit Development District to allow uses permitted in the PUD Planned Unit
Development District.
Land Uses and Zoning:
On site: On site is vacant.
North: To the north are the River Race Townhomes zoned CBD Central Business
District.
East: To the east is a multi- tenant commercial building with residential units
above, and a building rented by the Metro Homicide Department zoned
CBD Central Business District.
South: To the south, across Jefferson, is Howard Park, zoned MU Mixed Use
District.
West: To the west is the Emporium building zoned CBD Central Business
District.
District Uses and Development Standards:
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) District is designed and intended to: encourage
creativity and innovation in the design of developments; provide for more efficient use of
land; permit special consideration of property with outstanding natural or topographical
features; facilitate use of the most appropriate construction techniques in the development
of land; and, provide for any individual land use not otherwise specified elsewhere in this
Ordinance. The PUD District encourages imaginative uses of open space, promotes high
standards in design and construction, and furthers the purposes of the Comprehensive
Plan. The PUD District is not intended for the development of residential subdivisions or
other developments which are provided for as a matter of right within any district of this
Ordinance.
Site Plan Description:
The site is an approximately 14,000 square feet triangular- shaped parcel. A 96' tall, six -
story, mixed use building, not to exceed 9,951 square feet is proposed with a mix of
residential and non - residential uses. A maximum of 72 residential units is shown, and non-
residential uses are limited to 34,000 square feet. No parking is provided on the site. A
3,500 square foot multi -use plaza is located at the middle of the Niles Avenue frontage.
Development standards not addressed as part of the petition and site plan will default to
the requirements in the zoning ordinance.
Zoning and Land Use History And Trends:
In April 2014, variances from the maximum allowable height of 50' to 93' and 5 to 7
APC # 2709 -14 Page I of
Fm's'' T .I■
stories were denied by the Area Board of Zoning Appeals.
6/6/2014
Traffic and Transportation Considerations:
Jefferson Street has four lanes, and will soon be undergoing a streetscape project. Niles
Avenue has two lanes.
Utilities:
City utilities are available to the site.
Agency Comments:
The Department of Community Investment will support, for a 5 year period starting in
2014, height variances in the East Bank CBD District for up to 8 stories or 96'. However,
in order to gain the City's support, the project must provide for the following: a public
amenity and pedestrian scale facade treatments for the first two stories as written
commitments. The City Engineer notes that parking must be considered.
Commitments:
The petitioner is not proposing any written commitments. However, the Department of
Community Investment is requesting commitments for a public amenity and pedestrian
scale facade treatments for the first two stories.
Criteria to be considered in reviewing rezoning requests, per IC 36 -7 -4 -603:
1. Comprehensive Plan:
Policy Plan:
City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (November 2006)
Objective LU 3: Increase the urban density of the Central Business District (CBD).
Objective LU 3.2: Encourage pedestrian- oriented, mixed -use development in the CBD.
Land Use Plan:
The future land use map identifies this site as central business district.
Plan Implementation /Other Plans:
The East Bank Village Master Plan identifies the preferred use for this property as a mixed
use area with retail uses focused on Jefferson and Niles Streets with apartments on the
upper 2nd through 4th floors.
2. Current Conditions and Character:
This area of the East Race is primarily business oriented. The addition of the East Bank
Townhomes and River Race Townhomes along with the existing Stephenson Mills
Apartments, is creating an urban mixed -use area.
3. Most Desirable Use:
The most desirable use is a mixed use building with retail uses, with apartments on the
upper floors.
4. Conservation of Property Values:
The mixed use nature of this development should protect property values.
5. Responsible Development And Growth:
It is responsible development and growth to allow a mixed use building in substantial
conformance with the East Bank Village Master Plan.
APC # 2709 -14 Page 2 of 3
Staff Report
Staff Comments:
6/6/2014
The Board of Public Works will need to approve the encroachment of the balcony into the
right -of -way.
The staff would note that the East Bank Village Master Plan: area 5 village retail, suggests
the following: "Additional retail uses focused primarily on local and regional merchants
along Jefferson and Niles streets across from the Emporium/Mole Hole building with
apartments on the upper 2nd through 4th floors." Subsequent to the adoption of the Master
Plan, the Department of Community Investment has recommended that taller buildings, up
to 8 stories /96', be considered for approval when those buildings provide a public amenity
and pedestrian scale facade treatments for the first two stories. Further note that the
Zoning ordinance limits building height to 60'.
It is the staffs opinion that the primary goals of a land use plan should be adhered to. Area
5 of the Master Plan is the only area where the height of buildings is alluded to, and
therefore is not a prime overall goal. This project meets the goals of being a multi -use
building with residential on the upper floors, and providing a public amenity.
Recommendation:
Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends the
petition be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation.
Analysis:
This PUD generally meets the goals in the East Bank Village Master Plan. By developing
a policy to require items like a public amenity and facade treatments in return for allowing
a taller building, new development can be supported without compromising the intent of
East Bank Village Master Plan.

Christa Hill - No variance for East Bank Village Matthews condo
From: pittypat6l <pittypat6l @att.net>
To: <chill @co.st joseph.in.us>
Date: 6/17/2014 9:35 AM
Subject: No variance for East Bank Village Matthews condo
Mrs. Hill, please strongly consider NOT approving the plan for Mr. Matthews proposed 6 story unit.
.Five stories is enough, there's no need for 6 stories. We don't want our downtown riverbank to become a
concrete high rise jungle. We have a very quaint, beautiful riverfront and it will become nothing more
than water rushing past wealthy single peoples skyscraper residences. There is already an excess of
upper scale living choices near our downtown, yet the average working families are being pushed away.
Apparently they want us to spend our hard earned money at functions, events, and the influx of upper
scale dining and venues.... but don't want us living there. If he wants to build there, fine, but he needs to
learn to follow the rules our city has put in place and stop demanding exceptions. He got declined, so
now he's stomping his feet, ignoring the previous decision, and bypassing the previous board (basically
having wasted their valuable time). He will build anyway, whether it's 5 stories or 6. Please consider the
residents who've lived here our whole lives and stuck it out thru the rough times, we believe in our
downtown! We only want to continue to feel like we belong and are not just some blue collar intruders
in a white collar world of people who come here and demand different rules for themselves.
Thank you for your time,
Pat Gragg

June 17, 2014
Dear Area Commission Members:
,PIN 172014
AREA PLAN COMMISSION
Page 1 of
We are writing in response to the upcoming deliberation on the potential rezoning at 140 Niles Avenue in South Bend
requested by River Race Townhouses, LLC. We are writing as commercial residents in the area, namely, as owners of th
building located at 115 South Hill Street (Ancatrice, LLC), and owners of the business that occupies that building (Omicrm
Biochemicals, Inc.). At the present time we are traveling, and thus cannot attend the meeting today to express our views of
the matter in person.
For the purpose of reference, we purchased the building on Hill Street in June 2005, and spent the subsequent 12 months
demolishing its interior, extending the west end (2 floors) by —30 feet, and building a state -of the art scientific researcl
facility in the new space. Our decision to invest heavily in this reconstruction was influenced by the character of the
neighborhood and its long -range development - as indicated to us at the time - as an arts and sciences corridor. In recen
years, we invested significantly in creating a more sustainable operation at the company, specifically with respect to water
and electrical use. In the latter regard, we installed a 19 -panel 4.5 kW solar system on the building's roof in 2012, who
generates a significant portion of the total electricity used by the Omicron operation. In the coming years, we hope to extenc
this array.
We are writing to express strong opposition to rezoning the area at 140 Niles to allow construction of buildings with heights
as great as 96 feet. We believe this change in building code is incompatible with the existing structures in the vicinity, and
will result in a lower quality of life for people and businesses in the area over the long term. We believe that siting the
proposed tall structure will be visually unappealing to visitors confronting this building while crossing the Jefferson Bridge
across the St Joseph River. We do not believe the proposed building would be an appropriate gateway to the neighborhood,
Given that all of the buildings in the area are 3 stories or less in height, siting a 96 ft -high structure would detract from the
charm of the neighborhood by towering over all nearby structures. In addition, it would affect the flow of sunlight and
produce a less - than - optimal environment for people living and working in the area. While we enthusiastically support the
development of 140 Niles, we do not believe the proposed development strategy is a wise one. We favor the siting of any
new building three stories or less in order to maintain and preserve the natural beauty and building topology of the area, and
retain its local charm.
We have requested an analysis, from the installer of the system, of the potential negative effects of locating a 96 -11 building
southwest of our building on Hill Street on the electrical power generated by our solar system. The impact is significant.
Thus, the proposed 96 -11 building would negatively affect our return on investment, and impact the economics of siting more
solar panels on our roof in the future.
We thus urge the Area Planning Commission to reject this rezoning request. It is topographically inconsistent with the
;eneral area on the East Bank of the CBD. It will negatively impact the local environment and reduce the quality of life of
)eople living and working in the area. It will be visually unappealing. It will exert a negative impact on our ability to
venerate electrical power from our solar system. We support the development of this area, but in a manner compatible with
he current buildings in the area.
sincerely,
knn and Anthony Serianni

ARTICLE 7 GENERAL REGULATIONS
SECTION 21 -07 GENERAL REGULATIONS
Section 21 -07.01 Landscape Regulations.
Intent - Landscaping is an essential element of the site design process and is an important
feature in promoting the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare of the
City of South Bend. Landscaping is intended to: mitigate incompatibilities between adjacent
land uses; reduce the negative impacts of higher intensity land uses on less intense adjacent land
uses; provide a critical visual and noise buffering effect between higher intensity districts and
less intense districts; lessen the impact of development on the environment by reducing glare
and heat buildup; and, break up large expanses of pavement so as to reduce impervious surface
area, storm water run -off and the level of pollutants from non -point sources.
(a) General Landscaping Provisions.
(1) Applicability— Within the City of South Bend, all new developments and all
additions to existing development (i.e., building additions, parking area
expansions, etc.) shall provide landscaping as required by this Section for such
new development or addition.
(2) Location of Landscaping — Required landscaping areas shall consist of four (4)
locations on a site: (i) landscaping of required perimeter yards or residential
bufferyards; (ii) foundation landscaping; (iii) interior parking area landscaping;
and, (iv) parking area screening.
(3) Types of Landscape Screening — Three (3) types of landscape screening are
provided for in this Section: (i) Type A: Open; (ii) TSB: Partial Screenine;
and, (iii) Type C: Full Screening. These three (3) types of landscape screening
are intended to provide a progression of screening options suitable to a variety of
landscaping and buffering needs between land uses and districts.
(A) Type A: Open — The Type A: Open landscaping creates a pleasant visual
experience but provides a minimal visual or sound barrier. Therefore,
Type A: Open landscaping is intended for use on lots where the district of
the abutting lots includes permitted uses with similar intensities, lights,
sounds and regular operations and would have minimal, if any, negative
impact on adjacent properties. Type A: Open landscaping requires a
majority of the landscape materials to be of a shade tree variety with

A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, ACCEPTING AND CONFIRMING A RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH
BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION DETERMINING THAT THE TAX
INCREMENT FOR ERSKINE VILLAGE TO BE COLLECTED IN THE YEAR 2015
MAY BE ALLOCATED TO THE RESPECTIVE TAXING UNITS AND OTHER
RELATED MATTERS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
WHEREAS, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the "Commission "), the
governing body of the South Bend, Indiana, Department of Redevelopment (the "Department ")
and of the Redevelopment District of the City of South Bend, Indiana (the "Redevelopment
District'), exists and operates under the provisions of IC 36 -7 -14, as amended from time to time
(the "Act "); and
WHEREAS, the Commission has previously adopted resolutions, which have been
amended from time to time, declaring the South Side Development Area to be a redevelopment
area within the meaning of the Act (the "Area ") and designated territory within such Area as
Allocation Area No. 3 (the "Allocation Area ") under Section 39 of the Act; and
WHEREAS, the Commission, in accordance with the Act, has previously established an
allocation fund for the Allocation Area (the "Allocation Fund"); and
WHEREAS, Section 39 of the Act requires the Commission to determine the amount, if
any, by which the assessed value of the taxable property in the Allocation Area for the most
recent assessment date minus the base assessed value, when multiplied by the estimated tax rate
of the allocation area, will exceed the amount of assessed value needed to produce the property
taxes necessary to make, when due, principal and interest payments on bonds, plus the amount
necessary for other purposes described in Section 39; and
WHEREAS, if the amount of excess assessed value determined by the Commission is
expected to generate more than two hundred percent (200 %) of the amount of allocated tax
proceeds necessary to make, when due, principal and interest payments on bonds plus the
amount necessary for other purposes described in Section 39, the Commission shall submit to the
Common Council its determination of the excess assessed value that the Commission proposes to
release to the respective taxing units for confirmation or modification of such finding by the
Common Council and thereafter to provide notice to the St. Joseph County Auditor, the Common
Council, and the fiscal officers for each taxing unit located wholly or partly within the respective
Allocation Areas before July 15 of each year written notice of the following: the amount, if any,
of excess assessed value that the Common Council has determined may be allocated to the
respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in Section 39; and
WHEREAS, the Commission, in accordance with the Act, has determined that for tax
year payable 2015, all of the assessed value in the Allocation Area is excess assessed value and
may be allocated to the respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in Section 39 of the Act
because the Commission has found that the amount by which the assessed value of the taxable
property in the Allocation Area for the most recent assessment date minus the base assessed
value, when multiplied by the estimated tax rate of the allocation area, will exceed the amount of
assessed value needed to produce the property taxes necessary to make, when due, principal and
interest payments on bonds, plus the amount necessary for other purposes described in Section
39; and
WHEREAS, the Commission, in accordance with the Act, has submitted its
determination to the Common Council for confirmation or modification; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council finds that the determination made by the Commission
is appropriate and should be confirmed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA:
Section 1. Confirmation of Commission's Determination.
The Common Council confirms the determination made by the Commission that for tax
year payable 2015, all of the assessed value in the Allocation Area is excess assessed value and
may be allocated to the respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in Section 39 of the Act
pursuant to the findings made by the Commission that the amount by which the assessed value of
the taxable property in the Allocation Area for the most recent assessment date minus the base
assessed value, when multiplied by the estimated tax rate of the allocation area, will exceed the
amount of assessed value needed to produce the property taxes necessary to make, when due,
principal and interest payments on bonds, plus the amount necessary for other purposes
described in Section 39.
Section 2. Duration of Determination.
This determination for 2015 shall not be construed to affect any future determination of
the Commission with respect to the capture of assessed value of the taxable property in the
Allocation Area in the years following 2015.
Section 3. Notice to Officers of the Commission.
The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to immediately notify or cause to be
notified the Officers of the South Bend Redevelopment Commission of the determinations made
herein.
Section 4. Effective Date.
This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the
Common Council.

RE: Confirming Redevelopment Commission Determination that
Erskine Village TIF can be Released for 2015
Dear President Davis:
PHONE: 574/235 -9371
FAX: 574/235 -9021
Attached for the Common Council's consideration is a proposed resolution which
confirms a determination by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission to release the
TIF Revenues for the Erskine Village TIF (South Side Development Area Allocation Area
#3) for 2015.
This year, the Indiana Legislature amended the statute controlling the release of
TIF. The law now requires the approval of the Common Council when a determination is
made to release TIF for a particular year.
On June 26, 2014, the Commission determined that the TIF revenues for 2015 for
Erskine Village will not be needed to satisfy the obligations of the District and, therefore,
can be released to the various taxing units.
The state law now requires that the Common Council confirm the determination
made by the Redevelopment Commission.
Either Beth Leonard or myself will present this Resolution to the Common Council.
Thank you for your consideration.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, AMENDING CHAPTER 17, ARTICLE 2, DIVISION 3 OF THE SOUTH
BEND MUNICIPAL CODE PURSUANT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY (EPA)'S RECOMMENDATIONS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
On June 6, 2011 the South Bend Common Council substantially revised and amended
Chapter 17, Article 2, of the South Bend Municipal Code, Ordinance # 10095 -11, to conform to
the federal Model Pretreatment Ordinance published in January 2007 by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Wastewater Management. At the time of its
adoption by the Common Council, Ordinance #10095 -I1 enabled South Bend to comply fully
with all applicable State and Federal laws, including the Clean Water Act (33 United States Code
§ 1251 et seq.) and the General Pretreatment Regulations (Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations
[CFR] Part 403. It also protected South Bend's water treatment processes and it enabled South
Bend to proceed with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
conditions, as well as any other State and Federal laws to which a publicly owned wastewater
treatment works is subject.
The EPA requires South Bend to review periodically the chemical limitations of certain
pollutants related to the Industrial Treatment Program to determine if they adequately protect the
Wastewater Treatment Plant and the St. Joseph River. South Bend recently completed such an
evaluation, which resulted in new limits that must be included in South Bend's ordinance. It is
also necessary that the Municipal Code be amended to correct certain non- substantive errors and
to make other minor changes.
On February 10, 2014 this Council passed and adopted Resolution #4319 -14 which
approved a Proposed version of this Ordinance subject to public notice and comment, and final
approval by the EPA. This Ordinance incorporates the final changes required by the EPA. The
amended Maximum Allowable Industrial Load (MAIL) to Significant Industrial Users set forth
in Section I of this final Ordinance has been subject to more than 30 days of public comment
without objection.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, that various sections of Chapter 17, Article 2, Division 3 shall be
amended to read as follows:

allocation for one of the pollutants listed above shall notify the City of
South Bend at least 90 days in advance of a change in the characteristics of
their wastewater that would increase the expected concentration of that
pollutant in their wastewater discharge. In addition, the City may
determine at any time that an SIU wastewater discharge requires a
limitation for a pollutant, regardless of the concentration levels listed
below, and may then develop a limit based on the MAIL. In any case, SIU
discharge that is found to contain in excess of the following concentrations
will be reviewed for the need for a limit. The Director may require more

Re: Ordinance Amendment to South Bend Municipal Code Chapter 17, Article 2, Division 3
Regarding the Industrial Pretreatment Program
Dear President Davis:
Earlier this year, the South Bend Common Council approved Resolution #4319 -14 that described
the Council's intentions regarding adoption of revisions to Chapter 17 of the South Bend Municipal
Code. The revisions are related to the requirement to operate an approved Industrial Pretreatment
Program. As part of this requirement, the City of South Bend is required to develop and implement
wastewater local limits for Significant Industrial Users. The City also has to determine that local limits
are adequately protective of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the St. Joseph River. An evaluation of
local limits was completed, and after review by the US EPA it was determined that certain pollutant
limitations required revision. The attached ordinance amendment to Chapter 17 includes these
revisions. These revisions have also been subject to public comment for more than 30 days, and no
objection has been received.
In accordance with US EPA requirements, the amendment to Chapter 17 is attached for your
review and approval.
Either Al Greek or I will present this ordinance at the Council's Committee meeting and at the
public hearing. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please let me know.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,.

City of South Bend Common Council
227 W. Jefferson Boulevard, 4th Floor

RE: July 2014 Budget Transfer Ordinance
Dear President Davis,
During the past several years, it has been the practice of the City of South Bend to request
department heads, fiscal staff and city administration to conduct an extensive review of
the status of compliance with the adopted city budget and propose necessary adjustments
during the middle of the year and at year end. For 2014, we plan to propose adjustments
during three time periods — March, July and December.
Based on our budget review, we are submitting the enclosed ordinance for transfers
between various departments and cost categories within the same funds for your
consideration. No additional appropriation is requested in this ordinance.
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and council
meetings. It is requested that this bill be filed for l' reading on July 14, 2014 with 2nd
reading, public hearing and 3`d reading scheduled for July 28, 2014.
Thank you for your attention to this request. If you should have any questions, please feel
to contact me at 574- 235 -7678.
Regards,
J4i H. Murphy

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, SUSPENDING ENFORCEMENT OF CHAPTER 4, ARTICLE 4, SECTION
4 -21 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE PENDING FURTHER STUDY AND
REVIEW
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
On December 9, 2013 the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10274 -13
which amended Chapter 4, Article 4 of the South Bend Municipal Code to add a new Section 4-
21 regulating busking, which is the performance of entertainment by individuals on public
sidewalks. Ordinance No. 10274 -13 was "designed to be a pilot program" with formal "review

It is appropriate that the Council and City Administration undertake full and complete
review of Ordinance No. 10274 -13 to determine its efficacy, its scope, and its terms and
conditions in light of its status as a pilot program. Such review is expected to take several
months, during which time it is appropriate that enforcement of the Ordinance cease.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA as follows:
Section I. Chapter 4, Article 4, Section 4 -21 of the South Bend Municipal Code shall be
committed to review and study by the Common Council and by the City Administration which
shall provide a report to the Council by December 31, 2014.
Section II. Until further action is taken or written directive is issued by the Council, the
City's enforcement of Chapter 4, Article 4, Section 4 -21 shall cease indefinitely.

Re: A Bill For Further Study of Busker Ordinance and to Suspend Its Enforcement
Dear President Davis:
On December 9, 2013 the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10274 -13
which amended Chapter 4, Article 4, by adding a new Section 4 -21. This new Section licensed
and regulated "busking" which is the performance of entertainment by individuals on public
sidewalks. The Statement of Purpose and Intent of Ordinance No. 10274 -13 designated it as a
"pilot program" for which review by the Common Council and City Administration was to take
place by August 1, 2014.
The attached Ordinance directs that Municipal Code Chapter 4, Article 4, Section 4 -21 be
reviewed and studied for efficacy, scope, terms and conditions, and that pending further action
by the Council, enforcement of the ordinance be suspended. The Ordinance provides for a
Report to Council by December 31, 2014.
I will present this Ordinance to the South Bend Common Council at its formal meeting
and at its appropriate Committee meeting which is anticipated to take place July 28, 2014. An
attorney from the City's Department of Law may be present to answer any legal questions you
may have.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
