WHEREAS, the City of South Bend, Department of Redevelopment has, pursuant to the
Redevelopment of Cities and Towns Act of 1953, as amended, investigated and studied
that area of the City of South Bend, County of St. Joseph, State of Indiana,
designated as the Central Downtown Urban Renewal Project, which area is bounded by
a line drawn as follows:
Beginning at a point formed by the intersection of the north right -of -way
line of LaSalle Avenue and the west right -of -way line of Main Street;
thence south along the west right -of -way line of Main Street to the north
right -of -way line of Washington Street; thence west along the north right -
of -way line of Washington street to the west right -of -way line of Lafayette
Boulevard; thence south along the west right -of -way line of Lafayette
Boulevard to the south right -of -way line of Jefferson Boulevard; thence
east along the south right -of -way line of Jefferson Boulevard to the west
VV right -of -way line of Main Street; thence south along the west right -of -way
line of Main Street to the south right -of -way line of Monroe Street; thence
east along the south right -of -way line of Monroe Street to the west right -
of -way line of Fellows Street; thence south along the west right -of -way
line of Fellows Street to the south right -of -way line of Monroe Street;
thence east along the south right -of -way line of Monroe Street and proceed-
ing in a northeasterly direction along said right -of -way line to the center
of the St. Joseph River; thence proceeding in a northwesterly direction
along the center of the St. Joseph River to the north right -of -way line of
LaSalle Avenue; thence west along the north right -of -way line of LaSalle
Avenue to the west right -of -way line of Main Street which is the point of
beginning.
WHEREAS, upon such investigation being made it has been found by the Commissioners
that such area has become blighted to an extent that such condition cannot be corrected
by regulatory process, or by the ordinary operations of private enterprise without
resort to the provisions of the Redevelopment of Cities and Towns Act of 1953, as
amended, and it has been further found that the public health and welfare would be
benefited by the acquisition and redevelopment of such area under the provisions of
such act; and
WHEREAS, the Commissioners have caused to be prepared maps and plans showing the bound-
aries of such blighted area, the location of the various parcels of properties, streets
and alleys and other features affecting the acquisition, clearance, replanning and rede-
velopment of such area indicating the parcels of property to be excluded from acquisition
and portions of the area acquired which are to be devoted to streets, parks, playground,
and other public purposes under the redevelopment plan, and further studies have shown
the necessity of adding certain parcels to the acquisition list due to the infeasibility
of rehabilitation, and for the making of certain changes in the land use provision in
Block 6 in order to update the Urban Renewal Plan to current market conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Commissioners did on the 16th day of July, 1973 pass a resolution declar-
ing, among other things, that the above described area is blighted and constitutes a
menace to the social and economic interests of the City and its inhabitants and that it
will be of public utility and benefit to acquire such area and redevelop the same under
the provisions of the Redevelopment of Cities and Towns Act of 1953, as amended, and
approved the changes in the Urban Renewal Plan as presented in connection with said
resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Commissioners did on the 3rd day of August, 1973 hold a public hearing for
the purpose of presenting said Declaratory Resolution and the plan changes approved
therein to the public and to hear remonstrates, if any, concerning said changes; and
WHEREAS, said Redevelopment of Cities and Towns Act, as amended, requires that the
Commissioners confirm this previous Resolution;
