WHEREAS, the Council issues a Confirming Resolution confirming the adoption
of a Declaratory Resolution as Resolution No. 4456-15 on June 22, 2015
WHEREAS, the petitioner will not have the project completed within the two
year designation period granted in the Confirming Resolution, which will expire on May
26, 2017.
WHEREAS, the Petitioner has requested an additional period of time to complete
construction of the planned project. The project experienced unforeseen delays in the
design stage which led to an overall delay in the construction timeline.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
South Bend, Indiana, as follows:
SECTION 1. The Petitioner acknowledges that they will not have the project completed
within the two year designation period granted in the Confirming Resolution due to the
following:
A. The future use of the former College Football Hall of Fame Building
(CFHOF) is directly tied to the construction and subsequent opening of the
hotel that will sit adjacent to building. The hotel project experienced
unforeseen delays in the design stage, led primarily by the Department of
Community Investment to look at the overall site plan and building elevation.
With the hotel project now under construction, the Developer is better able to
target potential uses for the former CFHOF and looks forward to creating an
overall project that will be a tremendous asset for the City for years to come.
The Common Council hereby finds that the extension of the designation is appropriate in
light of the aforementioned reason noted above.
SECTION II. The Common Council hereby reconfirms its Declaratory Resolution and
its Confirming Resolution designating the area described herein as an Economic
Revitalization Area for the purposes of tax abatement. Such designation is for real
property tax abatement only and is limited to three (3) calendar years from the date of
adoption of the Declaratory Resolution by the Common Council.
SECTION III. The Common Council hereby determines that the property owner is
qualified for and is granted a vacant building property tax deduction for a period of two
(2) years pursuant to Indiana Code 6-1.1-12.1-17 and further determines that the petition,
The Memorandum of Agreement between the Petitioner and the City of South Bend, and
the Statement of Benefits comply with Chapter 2, Article 6, of the Municipal Code of the
City of South Bend and Indiana Code 6-1.1-12 et seq.
SECTION IV. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its
adoption by the Common Council and approved by the Mayor.
