A review of the tax abatements previously granted, finds that New Carbon Company, Inc. has not been granted any 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 Airport Economic Development Area, which is a Tax Incremental Allocation Area; therefore, the petition for personal property tax abatement must first be approved by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission. A review of the Tax Abatement Ordinance finds that New Carbon Company, Inc. meets the qualifications for a five -year personal property tax abatement under Tangible Property Tax Abatement. Using the estimated project cost of $360,000, the taxes generated over the five - year period will be approximately $35,235. Taxes abated over the five -year period will be approximately $28,987.
