The City of Fort Wayne
1981 ANNUAL REPORT
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING
Fort Wayne is in the midst of formidable transition. The City's
industrial base is shifting from an emphasis in manufacturing
to one of service and higher technological endeavors. Its population,
as reported by the 1980 census, has declined over the
last 10 years. Paradoxically, however, the number of households
has grown, particularly those which are single person, minority,
and elderly. Downtown is also undergoing a renaissance - from
a preponderance of surface level parking lots to new office
and specialized commercial spaces.
Charged with planning for the directions of urban growth as
well as program implementation, Community Development and Planning
has played a major role in these changes. Carrying out
its pledge to work in partnerships with the private sector and
with Fort Wayne's citizens, Community Development and Planning
has made significant strides toward the community's overall
development.
In 1982, Community Development and Planning achieved record
levels of leveraging using $600,000 in Block Grant funds to
secure over $8 million from other sources for housing programs,
economic development, and public facilities. The Department
played a pivotal role in fighting the "Flood of ,82" and in
diminishing future flood problems by developing a workable flood
plan with short and long term objectives. Beyond developing
the flood plan, Community Development and Planning helped secure
funding to implement flood strategies.
The Planning Division made major strides in each of its three
areas of responsibility. The Land Use Management section took
the lead in streamlining the City's development permit process
by implementing more effective procedures which cut substantial
time and confusion from the process. Citizens too were better
served by a strengthened zoning enforcement procedure which
was responsible for 3,370 enforcement calls in 1982.
Annexation brought into the City $10.04 million in assessed
valuation during 1982. The Long Range Planning area, responsible
for annexation, also added new dimensions to the City's planning
and operational effectiveness through major advancements in
data processing.
