The undersigned authorizes the contact person listed above to represent this petition before the South Bend Plan Commission and Common Council and to answer any and all questions related to this petition. Prope er (s Sig ture Project Summary: The property at 431 Dundee Street, South Bend, Indiana 46619 has had very minimal updates and remained vacant and underutilized for over two decades. I have just purchased the property, with the intention of completing a full-scale renovation that will convert the existing vacant building into a fourplex multifamily residence. This redevelopment will include new electrical systems, insulation, drywall, flooring, plumbing, HVAC, brand new kitchens, bathrooms, landscaping, and more. A key feature will be the restoration of the currently sealed basement windows and the addition of adequate building exits, meeting or exceeding all safety code requirements. Improvements will also include a tree buffer, and window coverage on at least 15% of the street-facing elevation, as required by code. This revitalized fourplex, located just one block from an elementary school, will help address the need for quality housing in the area while replacing a long standing vacant and underutilized property with a completely renovated fourplex. Question Responses: 1. The proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral standards, convenience or general welfare because: The project will enhance public safety and welfare by transforming a long-vacant, previously condemned structure into safe, code-compliant housing. All renovations will meet local and state building codes, including the addition of fire-rated walls, proper exits, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and upgraded mechanicals. The property will be landscaped, secured, and maintained, contributing to the neighborhood's visual appeal and livability. 2. The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or property values therein, because: This redevelopment will improve the aesthetics, functionality, and safety of the property, thus having a positive impact on surrounding property values. By renovating a vacant, unused building with modernized housing for families, this project will complement and uplift the existing residential neighborhood, contributing to the stability and revitalization of the neighborhood & community. 3. The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is located and the land uses authorized therein because: The surrounding area includes a mix of single-family and multifamily residential properties, as well as multiple commercial buildings that house one to four multi-family apartments on the upper level of the commercial buildings in the area. The proposed fourplex aligns with the residential character& need in the area. The building will be updated to visually and functionally blend with nearby properties, while still offering diverse housing options within the community. 4. The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, because: The project supports the City's Comprehensive Plan by promoting development, reducing vacant unimproved buildings and providing much-needed housing for families. It aligns with strategic goals to enhance neighborhood vitality, increase housing diversity and availability, and make better use of existing structures, all while preserving and contributing to walkable, family friendly development near schools and community amenities.

North: A single-unit dwelling in Urban Neighborhood 1 (U1) East: Single-unit dwellings in Urban Neighborhood 1 (U1) South: A single-unit dwelling in Urban Neighborhood 1 (U1) West: Single-unit dwellings in Urban Neighborhood 1 (U1) District Intent: The U2 District is established to provide for, promote, and maintain the development of diverse housing types in urban neighborhoods located near neighborhood centers in core and outlying areas of the City. Site Plan Description: Conversion to fourplex. Half the lot was used as a parking lot stemming from past use as a church. Zoning and Land Use History and Trends: Parcel used as a place of worship dating back to 1931. Western Avenue is a half-block north and Harrison Elementary School is a block to the west. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: To the east is Dundee Street, two-way street with on street parking. A public alley is to the west of property. Agency Comments Agency Comments: No additional comments at this time Staff Comments: Half the lot was previously used as a parking lot when the building was used for ministry. The curb cut should be removed. Any parking should be on a hard surface and be accessed from the alley. Criteria for Decision Making Rezoning Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to: 1. Comprehensive Plan: Policy Plan: This application is consistent with the South Bend City Plan (2006) Objective ED 1.2 Encourage reuse of abandoned and underutilized land and structures. Land Use Plan: The Future Land Use Plan identifies this area for Medium Density Residential, which would allow for a range of neighborhood-scaled residential housing types. Plan Implementation/Other Plans: There are no other plans for this area. 2. Current Conditions and Character: Dundee Street is made up of detached homes within the U1 District. This project would be similar in use and scale. 3. Most Desirable Use: SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 14 Staff Report-PC#0276-25 10/20/2025 The most desirable use for this property within the current zone is low to medium density residential housing that will fit the established character of the neighborhood. 4. Conservation of Property Values: Revitalizing this currently vacant duplex to a renovated fourplex should contribute to the growth and value of the surrounding properties. 5. Responsible Development and Growth: Responsible development of this property would be the continuity of housing with densities permitted in U2. Special Exception The petitioner is seeking a Special Use to allow: Dwelling, Multi-unit (21-06.01(j)(5)) A Special Use may only be granted upon making a written determination, based upon the evidence presented at a public hearing, that: 1) The proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral standards, convenience or general welfare; The proposed use should not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals or general welfare of the community. The general welfare and stability of the community could benefit from the increased variety of housing types. Approval of the Special Exception should not affect the general welfare of the community, as the residence would add rental housing units to the neighborhood and use a building the had sat vacant for several years. 2) The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or property values therein; Allowing conversion of the existing single unit residential dwelling should not injure or adversely affect the use or value of the adjacent area or property values, provided the current residential character is maintained. Property values would be adversely affected if the project does not meet the district and building standards in the City's Zoning Ordinance. 3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is located and the land uses authorized therein; This four-unit dwelling will be consistent with the character of the district and neighborhood in both use and style of construction. 4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. The petition is consistent with the City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (2006) Objective H1.1: Encourage residential developments to contain a mix of housing types, densities, price ranges, and amenities. Analysis & Recommendation Commitments: No commitments are proposed. Analysis: Rezoning this property would not be consistent with the City Plan to provide well-designed housing on SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 4 of 14 Staff Report-PC#0276-25 10/20/2025 vacant spaces. As this project features a former church, it must resemble the residential nature of theneighborhood before becoming a residential use. The designs provided at the time of this report do not meet the standards set forth in the zoning ordinance. Special exceptions for converting existing structures into multi-unit dwellings in Urban Neighborhood 2 are required to encourage property owners to use good building design and to bring existing structures into compliance with the zoning code. The designs provided do not fulfill that compliance. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends the Plan Commission send the rezoning and special exception petitions to the Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation.

The application of such funds towards the operating budget assists with offsetting any increased expenses. In the past year, expenses have been increasing greater than revenues. This has increased the challenge of providing a balanced budget. Transpo will continue to pursue competitive grant opportunities to fund capital improvements and expenses. Ridership and Revenue: Transpo, like public transportation agencies across the country, continues to rebuild ridership following the COVID-19 Pandemic. The 2022 ridership was 72% pre-pandemic ridership and continued to increase into 2024 where ridership was 88% of pre covid numbers. In June of 2025, Transpo implemented the Connect Transit plan. It is still early in the implementation process to determine the effects it has on ridership and expenses. EXPENSES: Employee Wages and Benefits: For 2026, Transpo budgeted an increase in wages and employee benefits from the 2025 budget. Wage increases are dictated by Collective bargaining agreements. Health insurance premiums have remained unchanged, for the fifth year in a row, in the 2026 budget. Transfer — Capital Improvement Fund/Restricted Liability Reserve: The 2026 budget does not provide the opportunity to transfer funds into the capital account to fund capital purchases. If at the end of 2026, a budget surplus would occur, the surplus would be transferred to the capital account to fund 2027 capital purchases. UPON THE ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET BY THE SOUTH BEND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS, A MONTHLY BUDGET, BASED ON HISTORICAL AND FUTURE TRENDS, 4 WILL BE ESTABLISHED. THIS WILL HELP FACILITATE THE MONTHLY REVIEW OF FINANCIAL REPORTS BY BOARD MEMBERS AND INTERNAL MANAGEMENT. 5 transpo 2026 OPERATING BUDGET POLICY STATEMENTS FINANCIAL CAPACITY: 1. Management will continue to search for investment, grant and funding opportunities to maximize revenues. 2. Management will assure cash handling practices to safeguard funds in its protection and toward timely collection of funds owed. SERVICE POLICY: 3.

North: A one unit dwelling zoned Urban Neighborhood 1 (U1) East: Stacked flats zoned Neighborhood Center (NC) South: Townhouses zoned Neighborhood Center(NC) West: One unit dwellings zoned Urban Neighborhood 1 (U1) District Intent: The U1 District is established to provide for, promote, and maintain urban neighborhoods located in core and outlying areas of the City. Site Plan Description: Subdivide the property into four lots for one unit dwellings. Zoning and Land Use History and Trends: This area has been used for low density residential since single-family houses were built sometime between 1917 and 1945. A house stood on the property until around 2007, when the first demolition occurred. Presently, the southern end of the block is vacant except for one remaining accessory building. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: Howard Street is a two lane collector with on-street parking. Frances Street is a two lane local with on-street parking with residential permit limitations. A public alley is accessible from Howard Street. Agency Comments Agency Comments: None None Staff Comments: The Northeast Neighborhood Plan identifies this area as the Frances Street- Napoleon Street Area and a transition zone from the higher density Eddy Street Commons to the lower density residential development to the west. While the plan's future zoning map designates this parcel as U2, keeping this area low to medium density with U1 would not be inconsistent with the neighborhood plan. Criteria for Decision Making Rezoning Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to: 1. Comprehensive Plan: Policy Plan: This petition is consistent with the Northeast Neighborhood Plan (2022). The Frances Street- Napoleon Street Area focus is for medium-density residential buildings that transition from Eddy Street Commons to one unit dwellings to the west. Land Use Plan: The Northeast Neighborhood Plan as adopted in 2022 identifies this area for medium density housing. The plan envisions this area as a transition in housing density from Eddy Street Commons to one unit dwellings west of Frances Street. SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 14 Staff Report-PC#0286-25b 10/20/2025 Plan Implementation/Other Plans: The Northeast Neighborhood Plan (2022) seeks to allow a greater quantity and diversity in housing units. New housing should be carefully designed and located to support and positively influence neighborhood character. 2. Current Conditions and Character: The property is located within the NNZO Northeast Neighborhood Zoning Overlay district which serves to encourage high-quality design of new buildings and site development that preserves and enhances the character of a traditional neighborhood. 3. Most Desirable Use: The most desirable use, at this time, is a range of low to medium density residential housing types that will seamlessly fit in the established character of the neighborhood. 4. Conservation of Property Values: Allowing for the continued use of the property as residential uses should increase property values throughout the area and encourage future residential development along this section of Howard Street. 5. Responsible Development and Growth: It is responsible development and growth to allow for a variety of housing options within this neighborhood. Analysis & Recommendation Commitments: No commitments are proposed. Analysis: Rezoning the site to U1 will allow for residential growth and increased housing options in the neighborhood while not drastically changing the established character. Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the Staff recommends the Plan Commission send the rezoning petition to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation.

These tax abatements were granted by the Common Council in 2023 in support of the Petitioner's project to modernize the ethanol production facility at 3201 W. Calvert Street. The total private investment for this project will exceed $230 million. On June 12, 2023, the Common Council adopted Confirming Resolution 5025-23 to grant a five year (5) personal property tax abatement and Confirming Resolution 5026-23 to grant an eight year (8) real property tax abatement. For both of these tax abatements, the designation periods will expire on December 31, 2026. On October 14, 2025, the Department of Community Investment received the attached formal request from the Petitioner to extend the designation periods. The project has been delayed for reasons outside of the control of the Petitioner: the project require federal approvals, and those approvals are delayed due to the federal agencies' failures to issue guidance in a timely manner. The Petitioner anticipates receiving the necessary approvals in 2027 or 2028. The designation periods must be extended in order for the project to receive the benefits of tax abatement as the Common Council intended when it passed the respective Confirming Resolutions on June 12, 2023. Adoption by the Common Council of these new reconfirming resolutions would extend the designation periods and help ensure the success of the project. A representative from Verbio North America LLC will be available to meet with the Committee on October 27, 2025.

I would be available formally to make this request of the city at meeting of October 27.2025. Here is a statement that outlines the reasons for our request. Verbio North America remains optimistic about the long-term prospects of the renewable fuels market.In the near term,the company is taking strategic steps to align its investment decisions with the need for certainty in the regulatory processes,following the passage of the budget on July 3r4 and signed in law on July 46'. The company's advanced technology production processes require approval from the Department of Energy(DOE), which, in turn,depends on guidelines issued by the Internal Revenue Service(IRS)scheduled for publication in May 2026. Considering the procedural steps required, these approvals are likely to be delayed until 2027 or early 2028. Given this understanding,the company is adjusting its construction timelines for all new capital investments to align with this assessment. We will continue to monitor ongoing developments and, where appropriate,modify or amend our production and construction schedules to meet the financial expectations of our investors."

IN FROM: Joseph Molnar, Assistant Director, Growth and Opportunity SUBJECT: Warehouse Development Real Property Tax Abatement Petition for Michigan Motorsports LLC DATE: October 22, 2025 On October 22, 2025, a petition for tax abatement from Michigan Motorsports LLC was filed with the Office of the City Clerk. The petition seeks consideration for a warehouse development real property tax abatement for property 3315 William Richardson Court in South Bend. Pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 6, Section 2-84.9 of the Municipal Code of the City of South Bend, the petition was referred to the Department of Community Investment for purposes of investigation and preparation of a report determining whether the area qualifies as an Economic Revitalization Area pursuant to Indiana Code 6 1.1-12.1 and all zoning requirements have been met. The Department of Community Investment has reviewed the petition, investigated the area, and makes the following report. Project Summary Michigan Motorsports LLC has an active Purchase Agreement with the Redevelopment Commission of South Bend to purchase 3315 William Richardson Court with the purpose of constructing a 50,000 square foot office, warehouse, distribution center, and showroom. Michigan Motorsports is a thriving auto parts supply business that has experienced consistent growth of 30% year-over-year for the past five years. Michigan Motorsports currently operates out of a 7,500-square-foot facility located in Niles, Michigan. Due to this sustained growth, they are actively seeking a significantly larger space to support their expanding distribution operations. The project will consist of moving all operations from Niles, Michigan, to the newly constructed building in South Bend. Private investment for this project is approximately 4.55 million, which includes$4.00 in construction costs. The parcel has been owned by the City since 2003, and the project is ideal for this location and will add a successful and growing midsize company to the City of South Bend. Employment Impact Per this petition and supporting material, it is estimated that the company will bring existing jobs to South Bend from the company's current location and will create new ones: Upon completion of the current building's construction, the Petitioner will relocate at least thirteen (13) new full-time jobs with an estimated total annual payroll of$1,301,976. By the end of 2035, the Petitioner expects to create at least sixteen (16) additional full- time jobs with an additional estimated annual payroll of$832,000. This would bring the total employment to twenty-nine (29) employees with an estimated total annual payroll of 2,133,976. Tax Estimates The petitioner qualifies for a seven-year(7)warehouse development real property tax abatement. Current estimated combined annual real property taxes: $2,562 o Note that the property is currently owned by the Redevelopment Commission of South Bend and is exempt from Property Taxes Estimated combined annual taxes after the project's completion: $83,142 Total estimated combined taxes during the seven-year (7) abatement period: $581,992 o Estimated taxes being abated during the abatement period: $317,410 3 Estimated total taxes to be paid during the abatement period: $264,582 Abatement Qualification 1. A review of the tax abatements previously granted finds that the petitioner has not been granted a prior abatement. 2. The property is properly zoned for the proposed project. 3. Taxes on the property have been paid in full. 4. A review of the South Bend Redevelopment designation areas finds that the property is in the River West Development Area. 5. A review of the Tax Abatement Ordinance No. 9394-03 finds that the petitioner meets the qualifications for a seven-year(7) warehouse development real property tax abatement under Division 8 (Warehouse Development Real Property Tax Abatement), Section 2-83 (Warehouse development City-wide). 2 7-Year Abatement October 21,2025 Michigan Motorsports LLC South Bend German Township-Residential Real Property Tax Abatement Schedule' Type of Property.
