Resolution 1737 - Exhibit A
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Since 1968, the City of South Bend through the South Bend Redevelopment Commission has been
actively involved in redevelopment planning and implementation for the Central Core of the City
of South Bend. In 1985 it was recognized that three formerly individual redevelopment areas, the
Central Downtown Urban Renewal Area, the East Bank Development Area and the Monroe Sample
Development Area should be consolidated into a larger redevelopment area in order to realize the
maximum redevelopment benefit for each area. This merged and expanded area was named the
South Bend Central Development Area (SBCDA).
For the last fifteen years the SBCDA has served as a successful redevelopment district for the
citizens of the City of South Bend. Since 1985 the SBCDA has seen over $250 million of public
and private investment. In 1999 alone, there was over $ 20 million of public and private investment
in the SBCDA. However, faced with an evolving real- estate market and fundamental changes in
the delivery of Health Care in the United States, it was deemed necessary to once again revise the
boundary of the SBCDA.
This amendment to the SBCDA will expand the boundary to include what will be called the
Downtown Medical Services District (Expansion Area No. 4, Resolution 1737). Like previously
defined districts (Central Business District, East Bank, and Monroe Park) the Downtown Medical
Services District has its own individuality but is interrelated to the success of the revitalization of
the SBCDA due to its location, circulation patterns and most importantly land uses. In order to
facilitate efficient and orderly growth between the existing SBCDA and the defined Downtown
Medical Services District, it is essential that the necessary tools be put in place.
2.0 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Over the past decade there have been significant changes in how health care providers in the
United States deliver their services. Of particular relevance to this amendment to the SBCDA
plan is the growing trend toward outpatient based service delivery.
On -going advances in technology and the ability to treat patients on an outpatient or day care
basis are re- shaping the delivery of health -care. Procedures which formerly required a long-
term stay in a hospital, can now be performed within a matter of hours in a clinic setting. Chart
1.0 demonstrates the increase in the number of outpatient visits in community hospitals in the
it United States between 1993 and 1996.

Local hospitals also face this growing trend in the health industry. Memorial Hospital, has seen
a growth in outpatient surgery from 30 % of their total procedures in 1996, to 70% of their total
procedures in 1999. Although licensed at a 526 bed capacity, the hospital presently staffs for
only 300 patients per day.
This trend results in a shift in the type of physical facilities required for the delivery of service.
The shorter term nature of outpatient visits results in an increased in the level of patient turnover.
With the predominant reliance on automobiles for transportation there is a need for increased
parking to serve the higher turnover rate. Faced with high costs associated with construction of
parking facilities and the purchase of urban land, some health care providers are turning to
opportunities on suburban greenfield sites where required land for development is readily
available at a cheaper price.
Memorial Hospital, through their own long term planning, determined that it would be in their
and the community's best interest to remain and grow in their current location. As a
consequence of this long term commitment to their existing location and to the community,
Memorial Hospital must face the reality of a changing health care industry, within a very growth
restricted environment. As demonstrated in Map 17.5, the campus of Memorial Hospital is
bordered by Leeper Park and the St. Joseph River to the North, the River Bend Historic
Neighborhood to the East and an established residential neighborhood to the West. Limited
growth opportunities exist to the South -East of their existing campus.
In such a confined environment, it is necessary for this important economic entity to be able to
grow in an orderly and timely manner. By establishing the Downtown Medical Services District
around the hospital, the City of South Bend through its Redevelopment Commission will
facilitate this necessary growth and development. Without this joint effort, Memorial would be
limited in their ability to effectively plan, finance and implement a development strategy for the
area, which benefits both the hospital and the community.
