by Ms. Auburn and carried, the

Ms. Nancy Van Scoyk gave the staff

South Bend Chocolate Company is

develop a new type of store called a

the College Football Hall of Fame. This
retail development will hopefully capture
tourist traffic in the downtown as well as
convention visitors, while serving business
customers in the existing area. The second
phase of the project will involve
renovation of the second and third floors
for office space. The total estimated cost
of the project is between $450,000 and
$600,000.
Per the petition, it is estimated that this
project will create four (4) new permanent
jobs within the first year, representing a
new annual payroll between $60,000 and
$80,000.
A review of the tax abatements previously
granted finds that South Bend Chocolate
Company has not been granted previous
tax abatements. The building
commissioner has reviewed the petition
and finds the property to be properly
zoned for the proposed project. A review
of the designated South Bend
Redevelopment areas finds that the
property is located in the South Bend
Central Development Area, which is a Tax
Incremental Allocation Area, therefore, the
petition for real property tax abatement
must first be approved by the South Bend
Redevelopment Commission. A review of
the Tax Abatement Ordinance finds that
the project meets the qualifications for a
six (6) year real property tax abatement.

Using the total estimated project cost of

Company stated that demolition on the

the Chocolate Cafe's opening date.
Mr. Tamer responded that the Chocolate
Cafe is expected to open in June of 1998.
