ORDINANCE NO. 9q15-97 <br />AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, <br />INDIANA, AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS WITHIN CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 6, <br />ENTITLED TAX ABATEMENT PROCEDURES OF THE <br />SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE <br />STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT <br />The Indiana State Legislature has given to all communities the ability to enhance <br />development through a myriad of economic revitalization programs, including the designation of <br />an area as a residentially distressed area. <br />The City of South Bend has previously instituted guidelines for Residentially Distressed <br />Areas (RDAs) by passage of Ordinance No. 8732 -96 in the effort to provide additional incentives <br />for some of the underdeveloped residential areas of our City to be developed, and establishes <br />new, additional areas with this ordinance. The City believes that this ordinance meets the <br />definition of "economic revitalization area ", and further believes that there are additional factors <br />which have prevented a normal development of property or use of property which have resulted <br />in a lack of development and a cessation of growth. <br />Through the joint efforts of the city administrative branch and the city legislative branch <br />working together with concerned citizens, this proposed ordinance is filed in the interest of <br />providing an additional tool to assist the City in combating the restrictions imposed by state law <br />addressing annexation, which have also limited the growth and development of the City. <br />It is believed that the following ordinance is in the best interest of the City and would <br />help bring needed economic revitalization and development. <br />Of %;*QE C39N Of b ®EXY0 JBCA B, .3 -63H S, as follows: <br />Section I.

The Council hereby makes that additional findings that each of the RDAs listed <br />herein: <br />(I) Are comprised of parcels that are either unimproved or contain only one (1) or <br />two (2) family dwellings or multifamily dwellings designed for up to four (4) <br />families, including accessory buildings for those Dwellings; and <br />(II) Have dwellings which are not permanently occupied and are: <br />
