3. Of the eighty -four (84) commercial or industrial <br />structures, approximately sixty -three percent (63 %) <br />require cosmetic and /or structural repairs. <br />4. While the majority of the East Bank was rezoned to <br />"A -3" Mixed Use Multi- Family Residential and <br />Commercial in 1981, the number of housing units in <br />that zoning area has decreased from twenty -one (21) <br />in 1980 to twelve (12) in 1987. <br />5. Of the thirty (30) residential structures in the East <br />Bank, (including the part not zoned A -3) sixty -seven <br />percent (67 %) require cosmetic and /or structural <br />repairs. <br />C. In the sub -area known as Monroe Park: <br />1. Twenty percent (20 %) of the land zoned "B" <br />Residential is currently vacant. (This does not <br />include land used for streets and alleys). <br />2. There are one hundred thirty -five (135) structures in <br />the subarea. Of these, eighteen (18) or thirteen <br />percent (13 %) are substandard. <br />3. Seven percent (7%) of all the land in Monroe Park is <br />currently vacant. (This does not include land used <br />for streets and alleys). <br />D. In the entire South Bend Central Development Area as <br />expanded: <br />1. Twenty -one percent (21 %) of the land is currently <br />vacant. (This does not include land used for streets <br />and alleys). <br />2. An additional five percent (5%) of the land is <br />currently underutilized or has buildings on it that <br />are vacant or underutilized. (This does not include <br />land used for streets and alleys). <br />3. In addition to the fact that twenty -six percent (26 %) <br />of the land within the entire Area is either vacant <br />or underutilized, the findings within Paragraphs A <br />through C inclusive, above, are all incorporated by <br />reference as to blight within the entire Area, <br />inasmuch as the South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />finds that blighting influences from one part of the <br />ro Area have a substantial negative impact on other <br />parts of the Area and that blight within any part of <br />the Area is interrelated to a substantial degree with <br />the remainder of the Area. <br />4. The Redevelopment Commission hereby finds and <br />determines that there is a substantial presence of <br />factors such as excessive vacant land on which <br />structures were previously located, abandoned or <br />vacant buildings, old buildings, excessive vacancies, <br />substandard structures and delinquency in payment of <br />real property taxes in the Area, <br />F.
