South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting — September 27, 2011 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. South Bend Central Development Area <br />(2) continued... <br />proposal is intended to get us to a point <br />where we can better understand the total cost <br />and to see how it fits into the downtown <br />budget. We may need to do part this year <br />and completion the next year. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by <br />Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved the proposal for <br />design work for Century Center southern and <br />western entries. <br />(3) Authorization requested to pursue <br />expansion of the South Bend Central <br />Development Area to include a portion of <br />the Northside Boulevard Transpo <br />maintenance site. <br />Mr. Kain noted that Transpo recently vacated <br />its old facility on Northside Blvd. and moved <br />into its new LEED Platinum building just <br />west of downtown. The former Transpo site <br />is roughly ten acres in size and offers a <br />unique opportunity for redevelopment in <br />such close proximity to downtown. The <br />Howard park Neighborhood Master Plan (or <br />East Bank Village — Phase II) proposes new <br />single and multi - family development on the <br />Transpo site. That plan was created with <br />feedback from community stakeholders, <br />including East Bank Village businesses and <br />residents. <br />Of the ten acre Transpo site, 5.5 acres lie <br />within the South Bend Central Development <br />Area (SBCDA) while 4.33 acres lie outside <br />COMMISSION APPROVED THE PROPOSAL FOR <br />DESIGN WORK FOR CENTURY CENTER SOUTHERN <br />AND WESTERN ENTRIES <br />
