This redevelopment plan envisions a more intense and multi - family or single family attached development pattern along Eddy Street with the addition of rear - loaded townhomes / rowhomes fronting it. The single family detached residential housing in the area off of Eddy St. should be preserved through rehabilitation of the existing homes and infill construction. Given the increased traffic, a commercial node focused on small local business should be established at the intersection of Eddy and Madison Streets. Sub -area goals: • Support the expansion / improvement plans for Eddy Street, from Campeau to LaSalle, calling for public works infrastructure upgrades including the introduction of treelawns, new curbs, sidewalks, street lights and paving; • Encourage design standards that confirm the urban setting (i.e., retaining the street wall, siting off - street parking behind storefronts) and relate to the vernacular architectural styles present in the neighborhood; • Facilitate consolidation of parcels and replatting to create optimally -sized commercial and multi - family residential development sites; • Facilitate acquisition and replatting of vacant parcels for new infill housing construction; • Retain, expand and improve locally owned and operated businesses; • Apply strategic preservation approaches in pockets of disinvestment, including spot code enforcement, zoning enforcement, rehabilitation activity and small public works projects. C. State Road 23 Since the adoption of the Northeast Neighborhood Development Area Plan in 2003, the neighborhood has embarked on a series of planning efforts in order to provide vision and guidance for development that is more closely tailored to specific areas of the neighborhood. A significant project that will impact the Northeast Neighborhood will be improvements to State Road 23 (see Attachment A). The City of South Bend and neighborhood residents have worked with the INDOT to develop plans for improvements to State Road 23 that will positively impact the neighborhood by promoting patterns of land use, urban design, infrastructure and services that will encourage and contribute to the livability of the neighborhood. As the project moves forward, it is important to maintain continued communication and coordination with the State. 10
