ABATEMENT QUALIFICATION <br />1. A review of the tax abatements previously granted finds that the petitioner has <br />been granted or associated with previous abatements and were deemed to be in <br />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 (6) six -year real property tax abatement under section <br />2 -84.2, Real Property Tax Abatement. As discussed with Council, DCI's ability to <br />flexibly approach projects has led staff to conclude that a 5 (five) year abatement <br />best meets the needs of both the developer and the City. <br />
