NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Carmel Redevelopment Commission, governing body of the City of Carmel Redevelopment District, as follows: 1. The Commission hereby reaffirms its findings that the Redevelopment Area, including the 2018 Expansion Area, is an "an area needing redevelopment" within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, because it is an area in which normal development and occupancy are undesirable or impossible because of the lack of development, the cessation of growth and the deterioration of improvements in the Redevelopment Area; the character of occupancy, age, and obsolescence of property in the Redevelopment Area; the substandard condition of buildings in the Redevelopment Area; and other factors that impair values or prevent a normal use or development of property in the Redevelopment Area. 2. The Plan for the 2018 Expansion Area cannot be achieved by regulatory processes or by the ordinary operation of private enterprise without resort to the powers allowed under the Act because of lack of development, cessation of growth, deteriorating improvements, age and the substandard condition of buildings in the Redevelopment Area. 3. The Commission finds that the public health and welfare will continue to be benefited by the redevelopment of the Redevelopment Area, including the 2018 Expansion Area, under the Act as a redevelopment project area. 4. The Commission finds that this Resolution and the 2019 Amendment are reasonable and appropriate when considered in relation to the Declaratory Resolution, the Plan and the purposes of the Act. 5. The Declaratory Resolution, as amended by this Resolution, and the Plan, conform to the comprehensive plan of development for the City. 6. The 2019 Amendment is reasonable and appropriate when considered in relation to the Declaratory Resolution and Plan and the purposes of the Act. 7. The findings and determinations set forth in the Declaratory Resolution and the Plan are hereby reaffirmed. 8. In support of the findings and determinations set forth in Sections 1 through 7 above, the Commission hereby reaffirms the specific findings set forth in the Plan. 9. The Commission finds that no residents of the Redevelopment Area, as amended by the 2018 Expansion Area, will be displaced by any project resulting from the Plan, and therefore finds that it does not need to give consideration to transitional and permanent provision for adequate housing for the residents. 10. The 2018 Expansion Area is hereby added to the Redevelopment Area and is designated as a "redevelopment area" under the Act. 11. The 2019 Amendment is hereby in all respects approved. 12. This Resolution, together with any supporting data, shall be submitted to the City of Carmel Plan Commission (the "Plan Commission") and the Common Council of the City (the "Council") as provided in the Act, and if approved by the Plan Commission and the Council, shall be submitted to a public hearing and remonstrance as provided by the Act, after public notice as required by the Act. 13. The officers of the Commission are hereby authorized to make all filings necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes and intent of this Resolution. 14. The provisions of this Resolution shall be subject in all respects to the Act and any amendments thereto. Adopted the 16th day of January, 2019.
