MDC’s Exhibit B - - page 1


 

 

 

 

These COMMITMENTS shall be binding on the owner, subsequent owners of the real estate and other persons acquiring an interest therein; provided that Commitment #1 (Open Occupancy and Equal Opportunity Commitments) shall not be binding on an owner, subsequent owners or other person acquiring an interest therein if such persons are exempt persons or are engaged in an exempt activity as defined on Attachment "A" which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  These COMMITMENTS may be modified or terminated by a decision of the Metropolitan Development Commission made at a public hearing after proper notice has been given.

 

COMMITMENTS contained in this instrument shall be effective upon:

 

(a)           the adoption of rezoning petition # 2002-ZON-184 by the City-County Council changing the zoning classification of the real estate from an SU-10 zoning classification to an SU-1 zoning classification; or

 

(b)           the adoption of approval petition #                                               by the Metropolitan Development Commission;

 

and shall continue in effect for as long as the above-described parcel of real estate remains zoned to the SU-1 zoning classification or until such other time as may be specified herein.

 

These COMMITMENTS may be enforced jointly or severally by:

 

1.     The Metropolitan Development Commission;

 

2.     Owners of all parcels of ground adjoining the real estate to a depth of two (2) ownerships, but not exceeding six-hundred-sixty (660) feet from the perimeter of the real estate, and all owners of real estate within the area included in the petition who were not petitioners for the rezoning or approval.  Owners of real estate entirely located outside Marion County are not included, however.  The identity of owners shall be determined from the records in the offices of the various Township Assessors of Marion County which list the current owners of record.  (This paragraph defines the category of persons entitled to receive personal notice of the rezoning or approval under the rules in force at the time the commitment was made);

 

3.     Any person who is aggrieved by a violation of either of the Commitments contained in Commitment #1 (Open Occupancy and Equal Employment Opportunity Commitments); and

 

4.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

 

The undersigned hereby authorizes the Division of Planning of the Department of Metropolitan Development to record this Commitment in the office of the Recorder of Marion County, Indiana, upon final approval of petition 2002-ZON-184.
