Total additional taxes to be paid as a result of the project during the five -year <br />abatement period are estimated at $939,491. This includes $191,137 for the improvements and <br />$748,354 for the existing building. <br />Per the petition, it is estimated that the project will create fifty (50) new, permanent full -time <br />positions with an annual payroll $1,040,000. The project will also maintain sixty (60) existing <br />permanent full -time positions, including 20 existing permanent full -time minority employees, with 'a <br />total annual payroll of $1,620,000. <br />OEM <br />1. A review of the tax abatements previously granted finds that the Petitioner, Patterson Logistics <br />Services, Inc., has not been granted or associated with any previous tax abatements. However, at <br />this time they are also petitioning for a personal property tax abatement. <br />2. The Building Commissioner has reviewed the petition and finds the property to be properly <br />zoned for the proposed project. <br />3. A review of the South Bend Redevelopment designation areas finds that the property is located <br />in the Airport Economic Area, which is a Tax Incremental Allocation Area; therefore, the <br />petition for real property tax deduction must first be approved by the South Bend Redevelopment <br />Commission. <br />4. A review of the Tax Abatement Ordinance No. 9394 -03 finds that the petitioner meets the <br />qualifications for a five -year real property tax abatement under Section 2 -79, Warehouse <br />Development in the City -wide District. <br />1JC in V office <br />CITY <br />
