Align plans for redevelopment of the site with the goals and objectives of <br />the Northeast Neighborhood Development Area Plan as well as the South <br />Bend Central Development Area Plan, which addresses the adjacent East <br />Bank and nearby Central Business District. <br />E. Madison Center Campus Housing and Commercial Redevelopment Area <br />Madison Center and Hospital has completed a Master Plan for a ten -year phased <br />expansion of its urban campus along Niles Avenue and Hill Street. New <br />institutional uses will be introduced, as well as professional office space and <br />commercial space for lease. The Northeast Neighborhood Development Area <br />Plan incorporates the long -range development plan as a sub -area (see Map 13). in <br />order to support the growth of Madison Center and guide a land use strategy <br />emphasizing residential compatibility at the campus edge. <br />The addition of new facilities and additional square footage is necessitated by an <br />expanded clinical care mission and the opportunity to assume new research <br />capacities. The long range plan will nearly double the space Madison Center <br />currently has available, with the addition of several three -story office structures. <br />The scale and character of the new construction will replicate that of the existing <br />facilities, which exhibit desirable massing and materials and complement the <br />residential character of the surrounding area. <br />Madison Center and Hospital administrators have also initiated a housing <br />rehabilitation program to encourage staff homeownership in the Northeast <br />Neighborhood. Madison Center has acquired several single - family homes <br />concentrated on the 700 and 800 blocks of Hill Street that will be rehabilitated <br />and marketed for sale to employees. In coordination with the NNRO and South <br />Bend Heritage program staff, income - eligible employees will receive <br />downpayment and mortgage assistance. Hill Street has the potential to become a <br />significant demonstration block for the neighborhood, as the revitalization <br />strategy introduces the desirable option of living and working in close proximity. <br />Memorial Hospital has also implemented an employer - assisted housing incentive <br />program that targets the Northeast Neighborhood, though not exclusively. Such <br />programs originating in the private sector are an asset to the neighborhood, and <br />should be supported by and integrated into the development strategies and <br />activities of the Northeast Neighborhood Development Area Plan. <br />Sub -area goals: <br />Support the managed growth of the Madison Center campus north of <br />LaSalle Street and west of Hill Street; <br />27 <br />
