AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 6 OF THE SOUTH
BEND MUNICIPAL CODE ADDRESSING TAX ABATEMENT PROCEDURES.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
On December 19, 1994,the Common Council passed Ordinance No. 8564-94 which dedicated
fees from personal and real property tax abatements to the Department of Community and
Economic Development to help off set in-house staff time for reviewing and processing such of
petitions.It also retained the City Clerk's fee for legal advertisement.
Since the passage of that Ordinance, the Community and Economic Development Committee
has met on several occasions to discuss appropriate changes to other sections of the local tax
abatement procedures.
This Ordinance makes two amendments addressing "Residentially Distressed Areas". It is
believed that added incentives to attract development to those areas within our City which are either
vacant or have had a net loss of dwelling units as documented by demolition permits, would foster
growth and development. It is believed that these new incentives would be in the best interest of
our community.
J otv, t jtrtfort, bt it orbaittt4 b' t jc Common (ountiU of tbt City of 0.outfj
7SktYr, Mtttiatta, as follows:
Section I. Chapter 2,Article 6, Section 2-76.1 (a) (20) of the South Bend Municipal Code is

areas must also provide written information that:
fl At least 35% of the parcels are currently vacant,or
(II) That there is a net loss in the number of dwelling units, as documented by the most
recent census information,or that there has been a net loss of local building permits and demolition

Section II. Chapter 2, Article 6, Section 2-77.1 (b) of the South Bend Municipal Code is
amended to read as follows:

Second District
Dear Council Members:
Roland Kelly
Third District The attached proposed ordinance incorporates changes to the current tax
Ann Puzzello Abatement procedures set forth in Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the South Bend
Fourth District Municipal Code.
Linas Slavinskas As Chairperson of the Community and Economic Development
Fifth District Committee, I have been chairing a series of Committee meetings for the past
several months to discuss appropriate changes to the current local procedures.
Thomas Zakrzewski
Sixth District The following ordinance amends two (2) Sections of our current tax
abatement procedures. It would amend the definition of"residentially distressed
Sean Coleman area (RDA)" in section 2-76.1; and would also set forth regulations for the
At Large construction of single-family homeowner-occupied dwellings in residential
Loretta Duda distressed areas.The second amendment would be in section 2-77.1.
At Large
I would like this Bill to be referred to our Committee for further review
Eugene Ladewski and discussion, so that a thorough understanding of each of these proposed
At Large amendments can take place.Thank you.
Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand

Roland Kelly, Chairperson
