GIBNEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR June 18, 2008 South Bend Common Council 227 West Jefferson, 4`I' Floor South Bend, IN 46601 Members of the Common Council: I am pleased to submit this resolution to the Common Council to approve and adopt the East Bank Village Master Plan -Phase 1. The East Bank Village Master Plan -Please 1 will be amended to the South Bend Central Development Area (SBCDA) Plan which currently has three sub areas, one of which is the East Bank neighborhood. In order to accomplish this, a declaratory resolution was passed by the Redevelopment Commission on June 13, 2008. Following this, the Area Plan Commission approved the Master Plan on June 17, 2008. Upon Common Council's approval, the Plan will be sent back to the Redevelopment Commission for a confirmation resolution. The East Bank Village neighborhood currently lacks amarket-driven strategic plan. The East Race and the St. Joseph River are underutilized assets and can act as catalysts. Prime vacant land is also available along both the East Race and the St. Joseph River. The re-use of under utilized buildings and infill sites offer redevelopment opportunities. Given this, the City initiated a process with the assistance of JJR Group and Holladay Properties to develop a Master Plan for the area. The East Bank Village neighborhood has the potential to become a strong, vibrant, urban neighborhood with an exciting mix of live-play uses that will be attractive to recent college graduates, young couples, retirees and the technology and arts communities. The new East Bank Village Master Plan -Phase 1 will help accomplish the above stated goal and provide guidance to the public and private sectors on the future development of the East Bank Village area.
