industrial, commercial, residential and public uses, park land and open <br />space, vacant land and public rights -of -way. While the South Side <br />Development Area is composed of four previously noted and distinct sub- <br />areas, several factors unite the development area through a common set <br />of challenges and opportunities: <br />The South Side Development Area is a major gateway entry area <br />into the city and has historically been one of the major shopping <br />centers for South Bend and the Michiana region. The commercial <br />aspects of the corridor originally focused on South Michigan and <br />Main Streets, but relocated to vacant land near the Miami and <br />Ireland area in the 1950's as the population moved south of the <br />traditional city center areas. <br />• The South Side Development Area contains several major negative <br />physical factors that will hinder the private redevelopment of the <br />four sub - areas. These negative features are both man -made and <br />natural. The natural impediment to private development is the hilly <br />terrain. The man -made impediments to private development <br />include a large, obsolete commercial "greyfield" shopping center <br />(Scottsdale Mall) and several smaller obsolete commercial <br />facilities, a large "brownfield" site (Fitterling Landfill), traffic <br />circulation issues on South Michigan Street and the lack of an <br />interchange at the Bypass and Miami Street. <br />• The South Side Development Area is limited in the amount of <br />vacant land and thus limits the amount of new development that <br />can happen within this project area. The redevelopment planning <br />for much of this area will require the acquisition of multiple parcels <br />with existing improvements and then the demolition of those <br />improvements and the site preparation of those combined parcels <br />to allow for the new development to occur. <br />The South Side Development Area's strength has historically been <br />its orientation to commercial retail uses. Through total area master <br />planning of land uses, signage, traffic circulation and building <br />requirements, the new development opportunities proposed for this <br />project area will help strengthen and revitalize this area and will <br />make it a destination shopping corridor for a multi- county region. <br />The South Side Development Area is surrounded by several strong <br />residential neighborhoods as well as vacant land south of Jackson <br />Road that will benefit from the revitalized commercial corridor and <br />foster new residential development within this area. <br />C <br />
