The South Side Development Area is an area in the territory under its jurisdiction and is an area needing redevelopment; 2. The conditions described in state law (I.C. 36-7-1-3) cannot be corrected in the South Side Development Area by regulatory processes or the ordinary operations of private enterprise without resorting to state law (I.C. 36-7-14); 3. The public health and welfare will be benefitted by the amendment of the resolution or plan, or both, for the South Side Development Area; and 4.

The resolution or plan, with the proposed amendment, conforms to the comprehensive plan for the City. Acquisition of Real Property in the South Side Development Area In connection with the accomplishment of this South Side Development Plan, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission shall include all added parcels with the boundaries set forth above on the acquisition list attached as Appendix C and shall follow the procedures set forth in state law (I.C. 36-7-14-19 or I. C. 36-7-14-19.5).

The estimated cost of the potential projects is not expected to exceed an amount that can be raised based on the amount of tax increment revenues generated in the Allocation Area.
