The City of South Bend has previously instituted guidelines for Residentially Distressed Areas (RDAs) by passage of Ordinance No. 8732-96 in the effort to provide additional incentives for some of the underdeveloped residential areas of our City to be developed, and establishes new, additional areas with this ordinance. The City believes that this ordinance meets the definition of"economic revitalization area", and further believes that there are additional factors which have prevented a normal development of property or use of property which have resulted in a lack of development and a cessation of growth. Through the joint efforts of the city administrative branch and the city legislative branch working together with concerned citizens, this proposed ordinance is filed in the interest of providing an additional tool to assist the City in combating the restrictions imposed by state law addressing annexation, which have also limited the growth and development of the City. It is believed that the following ordinance is in the best interest of the City and would help bring needed economic revitalization and development. �i��, ��QE3EtQ�,��3ltQE, �QE �� 3��f.�� G�QE QL�f�� QL��QG�. �� QE QC�� ,�' ��Z��G� �QE.��. �f.��, as follows: Section I.
