T o : South Bend Common Council
From: Jitin Kain, Senior Economic Development Specialist
Subject: Adoption of the Howard Park Neighborhood Master Plan
Date: August 22, 2012
Attached with this memo is a Resolution which adopts the Howard Park Neighborhood Master Plan as part of
the process to amend the Redevelopment Plan for the South Bend Central Development Area(SBCDA).
The Howard Park Neighborhood of South Bend has the potential to become an exciting, dynamic urban
neighborhood and is poised for private sector investment and development of its infill properties. After the
completion of Phase I of the East Bank Master Plan(covers neighborhood North of Jefferson Blvd) in 2008, a
planning study of the Phase II area, more commonly known as the Howard Park Neighborhood,began. This
area is decidedly more residential in character. However,there are several commercial and industrial users
who call the Howard Park Neighborhood home, and scenic river views which characterize the vast potential
the neighborhood possesses.
Key strategies identified in the plan include:
• Redevelopment of the 10 acre Transpo site in to a mix of residential uses along the river front
• Conversion of existing industrial uses to residential as those properties come up for sale or re-use
• Enhancement of the River Walk
• Pedestrian and bike friendly pathways throughout the neighborhood.
The Master Plan was completed in the spring of 2009.At the time the South Bend Central Development Area
did not include the Eastern half of the Transpo site. In December of 2011,the boundaries of the development
area were expanded to include the remainder of the Transpo site in order to support a private sector
development project.
The Redevelopment Commission approved Declaratory Resolution#3064 on 8/16/12 to begin the process of
amending the SBCDA which is attached. Also attached is Area Plan Commission Resolution 228-12 which
was approved on 8/21/12.
Staff requests approval of the attached Resolution.
