This process included the gathering of information on parcels to be added, and an estimation of costs associated with the acquisition and redevelopment of properties within this Development Area. Attached to this memorandum is Resolution No. 2692, which is a Declaratory Resolution to amend the Development Plan for the AEDA. This Declaratory Resolution begins the process to amend the Development Plan to allow for the acquisition of 755 S Michigan St. 755 S Michigan St is a one story commercial building just north of the Center for Homeless. The acquisition of this property would allow the Commission to partner with Memorial Hospital, as they have with Ivy Tech, Hansel Center, the Engman Natatorium, etc. The Commission would purchase and clear this property, and Memorial Hospital would then construct a new medical clinic on the site. Upon approval by the Commission, resolutions will be put before the Area Plan Commission and Common Council for their approval, before a Public Hearing and Confirming Resolution would be presented to the Commission for final approval. Approval for advertising for the Public Hearing is also requested of the Commission. Advertising would be done after approval from the Common Council is granted. Staff believes it would be of public utility and benefit to amend the Development Plan by adding this property to the acquisition list and allowing this acquisition. Staff requests Commission approval of Resolution No. 2692 and the necessary advertising to carry it through. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
