®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> and water, and they will add to the tax base. We want to be strategic about what we annex in the <br /> sense that we don't want to build what we aren't able to support with the tax base. It needs to have <br /> a positive impact on the City's budget over time. There are also State law criteria. Finally, they <br /> have to be approved more than a year before the census. 2019 is the year before the 2020 census. <br /> So if we are going to do annexations,we are going to have to do it this ye. Voluntary annexations <br /> take about four (4) months to do which puts us in the mid-summer July time line that we need to <br /> start moving on this. The three (3) areas we are looking at are here. The first (1St) one (1) is over <br /> by the South Bend Chocolate Factory expansion. The second (2nd) one (1) is some fields South <br /> West of the City limits. And the third (3rd) is over by SR-23 North of Edison. <br /> Mr. Mueller continued, There are three (3) parcels the Chocolate Factory has acquired since they <br /> annexed in the pieces in yellow. To do the full development and build out he is looking to annex <br /> into the City these remaining three (3) parcels. The South West annexation, as you can see the <br /> yellow area, they are vacant fields and we think this is a potentially unique site for our industrial <br /> development close to the City. It also fits within if the by-pass is a natural boundary. And then <br /> finally, there are discussions with Notre Dame that are ongoing. For example, the Overlook <br /> Apartments would generate somewhere between $100,000 and $102,000 a year to the City based <br /> off of the development. It has the character of a City that is being built up. We think it belongs in <br /> the City. We want to make it make sense. Overall that would be a net benefit to the City. <br /> Councilmember Karen White requested a copy of the presentation. <br /> With no further business, Vice Committee Chair Voorde adjourned the Zoning and Annexation <br /> Committee meeting at 4:36 p.m. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> 4J, <br /> John or e,Vice Committee Chair <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Bvld I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.9221 If 574.235.9173 M574.235.5567 jwww.southbendin.gov <br /> 5 <br />
