Airport Authority Annexation Area 11 <br />SECTION IV. LAND USE ANALYSIS & DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA <br />This proposed annexation will add largely agricultural and wooded land to the City of South <br />Bend. The petitioner proposes the land be developed for light industrial uses. The Annexation <br />Area is presently zoned "A" Agricultural District and "M" Manufacturing Industrial District in <br />unincorporated St. Joseph County. Residential properties zoned "R" Single Family District in <br />unincorporated St. Joseph County are located to the north. To the east, across the St. Joseph <br />Valley Parkway, are wooded residential properties zoned "M" Manufacturing Industrial District <br />and "R" Single Family District in unincorporated St. Joseph County and South Bend <br />International Airport, zoned "LI" Light Industrial District in the City. To the south is agricultural <br />and wooded land zoned "M" Manufacturing Industrial District in unincorporated St. Joseph <br />County. To the west is a mix of uses, including commercial structures, residences, and <br />wooded land zoned "C" Commercial District, "M" Manufacturing Industrial District, and "R" <br />Single Family District in unincorporated St. Joseph County. <br />The Annexation Area is located just southwest of the Lincolnway West interchange with the St. <br />Joseph Valley Parkway. With its proximity to the airport, the St. Joseph Valley Parkway, and <br />the Indiana Toll Road, the land may be attractive for light industrial, distribution, and <br />commercial uses. The future land use map in City Plan, South Bend's comprehensive plan, <br />identifies this area for light industrial development. <br />Any new streets installed as the.site develops should provide access and connectivity <br />throughout the Annexation Area for a full range of users. To the extent possible, mature trees <br />and other natural features of the Annexation Area should be retained, especially along the <br />site's perimeter. <br />Any improvements or future changes must meet the City's applicable building, zoning, and <br />subdivision ordinances. <br />
