The Eddy Street Commons Planned Unit Development ("Eddy Street Commons") is planned to include seven (7) major land use areas. The major retail /office /multifamily land use areas are to be oriented to Eddy Street as a gateway drive between the University of Notre Dame and the City of South Bend. Along the recently extended Angela Boulevard / Edison Road which creates the north boundary of Eddy Street Commons are to be located one or more hotels, one of which may include conference facilities, "CityHomes" and open space. Centrally located in Eddy Street Commons is a proposed parking structure and surface parking which will provide for the parking needs of the overall development and will thus allow for the creation of an energetic, pedestrian friendly, urban streetscape development rather than an automobile dominated development. South and east of the central parking facilities, land use will transition to lower intensity office use or residential flats, then to cityhomes, courtyard townhomes or open space which will transition the overall Eddy Street Commons development into neighboring developments, including the residential renovation areas proposed by the South Bend Heritage Foundation, Inc. between the proposed extension of Napoleon Street and South Bend Avenue.
