Doualas South Annexation Area 9 <br />SECTION IV. LAND USE ANALYSIS & DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA <br />This proposed annexation will add vacant land to the City of South Bend. The Annexation <br />Area is presently zoned "R" Single Family District in St. Joseph County. The Memorial Home <br />Care office zoned "CB" Community Business District in the City is located to the north. To the <br />east is a vacant outlot and Brown Mackie College zoned "CB" Community Business District in <br />the City. To the south is a vacant lot zoned "CB" Community Business District in the City. To <br />the west is a single - family home zoned "R" Single Family District in the County. <br />A commercial use, potentially a dentist office, is proposed. The preliminary site plan shows a <br />3,830 square foot building with a parking lot providing 33 spaces. Vehicular access to the <br />property shall be made via an extension of the internal access drive currently in place to the <br />southeast. No curb cuts will be made to Douglas Road. Pedestrian access to the Douglas <br />Road sidewalk should be provided. Any improvements or future changes will need to meet <br />the City's applicable building and zoning ordinances. <br />The Annexation Area is located along a corridor that has experienced rapid commercial growth <br />over the last few years. Redevelopment of the Douglas Road residential properties <br />immediately to the west of the Annexation Area into commercial uses is anticipated over the <br />next few years. The recent widening of Douglas Road from State Road 23 to the Mishawaka <br />city limits supports this commercial development. <br />Filed in Clerk's offlv <br />E3 MAY2012 <br />JOHN <br />?:' :0yR <br />CITY CLERK, 3L SEND, <br />
