EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION NO. 1152
WEST WASHINGTON - CHAPIN DEVELOPMENT AREA
FINDINGS OF FACT
MAY 7, 1993
On October 23, 1987, the Commission adopted its Resolution No.
818, declaring the West Washington- Chapin Development Area to be
blighted within the meaning of the Redevelopment of Cities and Towns
Act of 1953, as amended, and on February 23, 1990, the Commission
adopted its Resolution No. 908, expanding the boundaries of the West
Washington - Chapin Development Area to those of the Area described.
above. The Commission has conducted a study of the Area, and of the
West Washington - Chapin Allocation Area (South Bend Allocation Area
No. 7), coterminous with the Area. The Commission has determined
that it is of public utility and benefit to change the base
assessment date for property within the Area from March 1, 1987, to
March 1, 1992, and that the public health and welfare will be
benefitted by the acquisition and redevelopment of the Area permitted
thereby. This finding for the Area is based on the following facts:
1. The blighting conditions identified in Resolution No. 818,
including the presence of vacant and, abandoned or vacant
buildings, old buildings, substandard structures, and
property tax delinquencies, which conditions were found in
Resolution No. 908 to extend to the West Washington- Chapin
Development Area, as expanded, continue to exist within the
Area notwithstanding the redevelopment efforts undertaken by
the Commission in the Area since 1987.
2. The presence of blight within the Area, as indicated by the
continued presence of the above -noted bl.ighting conditions,
necessitates and warrants continued redevelopment activities
within the Area by the Commission.
3. Tax increment revenues generated within the Area are
necessary to fund continued redevelopment efforts within the
Area.
4. Tax increment generated within the Area has diminished to
the point that the Area is generating negative increment,
due to the reduction in the aggregate assessed value of real
property within the Area over the past years.
5. The aggregate assessed value of real property within the
Area as of the base assessment date of March 1, 1987, was
approximately $9,154,834.
6. The aggregate assessed value of real property within the
Area as of March 1, 1991, was approximately $8,041,555.
