South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —July 2, 2004 <br />L6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />(1) continued... <br />Ms. Greene noted that amending the <br />development plan for an economic <br />development area is governed by I.C. 36- <br />7 -14 -17.5. The Commission is <br />conducting a public hearing consistent <br />with that section of the Indiana Code. <br />There is a time for written remonstrances <br />to be filed, specified in the notice that <br />was published in the Tri- County News <br />and South Bend Tribune on June 18, <br />2004. Section 17.5(c) stipulates that <br />when amending a plan for a <br />development area, the Commission is <br />not required to take evidence or make <br />findings that were required when it <br />originally established the economic <br />development area. However, before <br />approving any amendment to the <br />development plan the Commission must <br />find that the amendment is reasonable <br />and appropriate when considered in <br />relation to the original resolution or plan <br />and the purposes of the redevelopment <br />statutes and that the proposed <br />amendment will conform to the <br />comprehensive plan for the city. The <br />findings that the Commission is asked to <br />make are consistent with the amendment <br />to the plan as stated in Resolution No. <br />2064 that is before you. If the <br />Commission, upon hearing staff's report <br />and any additional evidence or <br />statements from members of the public <br />for or against the amendment, approves <br />the resolution, it has then complied with <br />L6 <br />
