Annual Progress Reports
As you are well aware, a series of neighborhood plans and development plans have been acted upon over
the years. We believe that an annual progress report from the City Administration on each of these plans
would be a helpful. This method would provide opportunities for the public and the Council to receive
valuable information on the status of such development and neighborhood plans throughout our city.
The attached Resolution supports these concepts by:
Raising awareness about the status of neighborhood plans and development plans by having
information shared on a regular annual basis; and
Providing notice to the City Administration that the Zoning and Annexation Committee would be
scheduling time to hear updates on each neighborhood plan and development plan beginning in
2017.
It is asked that this proposed resolution be referred to the Zoning and Annexation Committee for
discussion, review, and recommendation at its November 28th meeting. Thank you.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,
REQUESTING PROGRESS REPORTS TO BE GIVEN ANNUALLY TO THE ZONING AND
ANNEXATION COMMITTEE ON EACH NEIGHBORHOOD AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS
6A9;&,4 on November 13, 2006, the South Bend Common Council adopted Resolution No. 3657-
06 which approved a City Plan — 20 Year Comprehensive Plan for the City of South Bend pursuant to
Indiana Code § 36 -7 -4 -502 which was then approved by the Area Plan Commission of St. Joseph County
on November 27, 2006; and
6*f6w4 South Bend's City Plan is a guide for "...decision- making on the city's growth and
development for the next twenty years" which addresses visions, goals, objectives and policies. City Plan
has fostered several neighborhood plans to be developed which included hundreds of individuals
discussing alternative futures, doing modeling exercises, and developing consensus concepts, some of
which resulted in:
2008 East Bank Village Master Plan — Phase 1

development areas pursuant to Indiana Code § 36- 7 -14 -1 et seq., which resulted in several "development
plans" and triggered many surveys, investigations, studies, maps and plats by the Commission. Each such
plan also required Common Council Resolution action. Some of these plan include:
