Angela Smith, Area Plan Commission with offices on the 1 Ph Floor of the County -City Building, served as the presenter of this bill. The petitioner is seeking to rezone this property and annex into the City of South Bend under the LI Light Industrial zoning designation. Ms. Smith provided images of the property which are on file with the City Clerk's Office. The existing property is agricultural and general manufacturing. It is surrounded by a variety of zoning districts in the County ranging from M- Manufacturing to R- Single - Family District. There are no proposed developments at this time so there is not a site plan associated with the rezoning and annexation. The total areas for annexation is seventy -one (71) acres while the total areas to be rezoned is sixty -eight (68) acres. This comes to the Council with a favorable recommendation from the Area Plan Commission subject to written commitments, the written commitments state that at such time the property is developed if the property owner wishes to access Pine Road they must complete a traffic study that is accepted by both the City and County Engineering Departments and approved by INDOT. Mike Danch, 1643 Commerce Dr. South Bend, served as the petitioner for this bill. What we are asking to do is annex this ground just to the west of the airport. There was an agreement between the City of South Bend and the Airport Authority, the City did some recruitments for the Airport Authority and in exchange for that the City is getting the property. We would like to take this from the County and bring it into the City of South Bend under the LI Light Industrial category. As earlier mentioned, any eventual development would be subject to the written commitments. There were no questions from the Council. There were no comments from members of the public. Councilmember Oliver Davis made a motion to send Substitute Bill 35 -16 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation subject to the written commitments dated August 17th, 2016 and set for third reading on October 24th, 2016. Councilmember Dr. David Varner seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. 41 -16 PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 401 EAST COLFAX AVENUE, 228 & 230 SYCAMORE STREET, & 312 LASALLE AVENUE, COUNCILMANIC 11
