South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - June 18, 1993 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />h. continued... <br />The property is properly zoned for the <br />proposed use. The property is located in a <br />tax Abatement Impact Area and in a Tax <br />Incremental Financing Allocation Area. The <br />project qualifies for three years of real <br />property tax abatement under the Tax <br />Abatement Ordinance. Under the Tax <br />Abatement Ordinance, the project does not <br />qualify for the personal property tax <br />abatement because Ziker's SIC code is 72 <br />and personal property tax abatements are for <br />major groups 20 through 39 and 42. <br />However, the petitioner has indicated that the <br />use of the new equipment will be utilized <br />under SIC #2899 and wishes to be considered <br />for personal property abatement. The staff <br />recommends that they seek a determination <br />from the State Board of Tax Commissioners <br />before seeking local tax abatement <br />consideration. <br />Mr. Szarwark, representing Ziker Cleaners, <br />replied that Ziker Cleaners would not be able <br />to get a ruling form the State Board of Tax <br />Commissioners within the time frame <br />necessary for the project. Also, if the State <br />Board of Tax Commissioners rules against <br />the abatement, they'd like the opportunity to <br />appeal the decision to the Indiana Tax Board. <br />Mr. Szarwark explained the reasoning behind <br />Ziker's claim that the equipment is <br />manufacturing equipment. The equipment is <br />state -of -the -art filtration equipment which will <br />extract the cleaning solutions from the water <br />
