Proposed Subdivision Code

The City of South Bend is proposing to repeal the Land Division provisions of Division IV, Sections 15.62 through 15.68 of the South Bend Municipal Code and replace it with a new subdivision ordinance. The city has prepared the draft subdivision code to keep it current with changes in state law, allow for binding site plan provisions, and provide clearer review procedures and requirements for both the city and subdivision applicants.

You can review a draft of the proposed subdivision ordinance HERE. The Planning Commission will also be holding a public hearing on the draft on June 7, 2022, at 5 PM. Information about commenting and the public hearing notice is available HERE.
