ABATEMENT QUALIFICATION <br />1. A review of the tax abatements previously granted finds that the petitioner has <br />been granted previous abatements and were deemed to be in compliance. <br />2. The Building Commissioner has reviewed the petition and finds the property to be <br />properly zoned for the proposed project or a variance will be sought by the <br />petitioner. <br />3. A review of the South Bend Redevelopment designation areas finds that the <br />property is located in the River West Development Area. <br />4. A review of the Tax Abatement Ordinance No. 9394 -03 finds that the petitioner <br />meets the qualifications for a (9) nine -year real property tax abatement under <br />section 2 -84.2, Real Property Tax Abatement. As discussed with Council, DCI's <br />ability to flexibly approach projects has led staff to conclude that a 6 year <br />abatement best meets the needs of both the developer and the City. <br />
