Cleveland-Shellbark Annexation Area 10 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SECTION IV. LAND USE ANALYSIS & DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA <br /> <br />This proposed annexation will add one property containing a funeral home to the City of South <br />Bend. The petitioner proposes to use the Annexation Area for an automated car wash facility <br />and associated uses. The Annexation Area is presently zoned OB Office Buffer District in <br />unincorporated St. Joseph County. Single-family houses zoned R Single-Family District in the <br />County are located to the north. To the east is vacant land zoned R Single-Family District in <br />the County. To the south, across Cleveland Road, is the Indiana Toll Road and agricultural <br />land zoned S1 Suburban Neighborhood in the City. To the west is a medical clinic zoned C <br />Commercial District in the City. <br /> <br />The Annexation Area is located on Cleveland Road between Portage Avenue and Riverside <br />Drive. The future land use map of City Plan, South Bend’s comprehensive plan, designates <br />this parcel for commercial use, and the proposed land use is consistent with the suburban, <br />auto-oriented commercial development in the area. <br /> <br />The petitioner proposes demolishing the main building on the site and replacing it with a car <br />wash of nearly 5,000 square feet. The preliminary site plan shows the existing garage will <br />remain, and vacuum stations will be added. The petitioner should carefully consider site <br />access and circulation and should include required buffering to the residential properties to <br />the north and northeast. <br /> <br />Any improvements or future changes must meet the City’s applicable building, zoning, and <br />subdivision ordinances.
