GIBNEY <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR <br />TAX ABATEMENT REPORT <br />TO: SOUTH BEND COMMON COUNCIL <br />FROM: BOB MATHIA <br />SUBJECT: RESIDENTIAL REAL PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FOR: <br />CLELAND BUILDIERS, INC. (Jade Crossing -Section I, Lot # 77) <br />DATE: May 22, 2009 <br />On May 20, 2009, a petition for residential tax abatement consideration for real property located on Jade <br />Crossing -Section I, Lot # 77 was filed with the City Clerk by Cleland Builders, Incorporated. Please Note: <br />The petition includes a request for a waver for Lot # 77 which already has received a building permit <br />and a home is completed on it. Pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 6, Section 2-77.1 of the Municipal Code of <br />the City of South Bend, this petition was referred to the Department of Community and Economic <br />Development (CED) for purposes of investigation and preparation of a report determining whether the area <br />qualifies as a Residentially Distressed Area pursuant to I.C.6-1.1-12.1 and whether all zoning requirements <br />have been met. <br />The Department of Community and Economic Development has reviewed the petition (a copy of which is <br />attached), investigated the area, and makes the following report. <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />Background Information: On June 23, 2003, Cleland Builders, Inc. received a residential tax <br />abatement for homes they were to build in Section I of Jade Crossing (Resolution #3205-03). The <br />Residentially Distressed Area (RDA) designation for Section I expired on June 8, 2008. When the <br />RDA expired 11 lots out of 32 remained available for sale. On July 25, 2008, Cleland submitted a <br />petition for another 5-year tax abatement for the remaining 11 lots. <br />A review of the petition by the Building Commissioner revealed that one of the 11 lots (Lot # 77) <br />already had a building permit issued and a home constructed on it. Because the building permit had <br />been issued for that lot it was deleted from the list of 11 lots and the petition was approved by the <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL HC PROGRAM <br />PAMELA C.
