PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN: The objective is to develop a realistic redevelopment and re- industrialization master plan which reflects an accurate demand for industrial space, recognizes resources limitation and is flexible enough to meet changing economic trends and availability of resources A key assumption is that the master plan must be based on a phased approach to re- industrialization of the Studebaker Industrial Corridor. The second key assumption is that each area of the corridor designated for phased redeveloplent and re- industrialization must stand alone as a complete unit while 'CITY OF SOUTH BEND South Brand, Indiana 46601 -6- retaining the potential for interrelated development, e.g., access and internal circulation. The final key assumption is that the master plan must include a develop- ment alternative for each phase. MASTER PLAN A. Plan Concept 1. Statement of General Plan Concept 2.
