Area Date: April 5, 2010 Attached for the Redevelopment Commission's consideration is proposed Confirming Resolution 2666 which would amend the South Bend Central Development Area Plan and add nine (9) parcels to the acquisition list. The properties are part of a parcel cluster located at 122 S Niles Avenue in the East Bank Village. The process to add these properties to the acquisition list began when the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (RDC) conducted a study and determined that it is necessary and beneficial to the orderly redevelopment of the South Bend Central Development Area (SBCDA) to add various parcels to the SBCDA Acquisition List to further the development efforts in the East Bank. The declaratory resolution of the RDC (Res. 2655 approved February 19, 2010) was sent to the St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission (APC) (Res 208-10 approved March 16, 2010) for an order approving the RDC's action. The APC's resolution was approved by the South Bend City Common Council (Res. 10-16 approved March 22, 2010) for an order approving the RDC's and APC's action. The process now returns to the RDC for a confirming resolution and public hearing. The parcels proposed for addition to the acquisition list are in a specific target area within the East Bank Village area of the SBCDA. The parcels are located on the east side of Niles Avenue between Jefferson and Washington. The property will be used to stimulate new development in the heart of the East Bank Planning Area as well as serve as a site for improved surface parking to facilitate a growing parking need in this village area. Staff asks the Redevelopment Commission for favorable approval of Confirming Resolution 2666. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
