The South Bend Economic Devlopment Commission (Commission) has favorably recom- mended to the Common Council of the City of South Bend, the designation of certain geographic territory within the City of South Bend,Indiana,as an economic development target area. The Common Council, upon investigation, has found that the geographic territory within the City of South Bend,Indiana, descirbed below (Area) qualifies as an economic development target area because it has become undesirable or impossible for normal development and occupancy because of lack of development, cessation of growth, deterioration of improvements, and because of the adverse character of occupancy,age,obsolescence, substandards buildings,andother factors which have impaired values and which prevent a normal development of the property use. The Common Council has also determined the designation of the Area will not result in more than 15% of the total geographic territory of the City having been designated economic development target areas and that designation of the Area as an economic development target area is of economic benefit to the City of South Bend,Indiana,and its citizens.

It is also hereby found that the Area is suffering from an abnorally high vacancy rate is accelerating,and which threatens the viability of the reatail sector of the City's economy. It has further found that said occupancy rate has been accelerating and,based upon economic trends occuring throughout the nation, oses a significant threat the the City's economy. It has further founf that the structures in the Area have been allowed to deteriorate and are in need of substantial upgrading to enable the Area to return to economic viability, and that incentives are necessary and appropriate to return the Area to a healthy development trend. Section II. The addition of the Area the designation of an economic development target area will result in less than 15% of the total geographic territory of the City of South Bend, Indiana, to be in economic development target areas.
