Cleveland-Shel/bark Annexation Area 4 <br />E. Buildings & Land Use <br />The Annexation Area contains a funeral home and an accessory bui lding. The main building <br />would be demol ished for a proposed ca r wash . <br />F. Zoning & Subdivisions <br />The one property in the Annexation Area is currently zoned OB Office Buffer District in St. <br />Joseph County. With the annexation petition , the petitioner seeks to rezone the land to C <br />Commercial District in the City. The Annexation Area falls within the Lilac Acres unrecorded <br />subdivision. <br />G. Population <br />No people currently reside in the Annexation Area. After development, no residents are <br />proposed to live in the Annexation Area . <br />H. Tax Rate & Impact <br />The tax rates used are those of 2021 payable 2022. The total tax rate for unincorpo rated <br />German Townsh i p is 2 .7285 per $100 of taxable real estate. The total tax rate for So uth <br />Bend German Township is 5.8326 per $100 of taxable real estate. <br />Per State law, the tax caps expressed as a percentage of the gross assessed value for <br />different classifications of property are as follows , regardless of the property's location being <br />within South Bend or un i ncorporated St. Joseph County: <br />Property Type Cao <br />Homestead Residential 1.0% <br />Non-Homestead Residential 2.0% <br />Agricultural 2.0% <br />Other (Commercial) 3.0% <br />For at least the four years after the effective date of the annexation, the expected tax rates, <br />tax levies, expenditure levels, service levels, and annual debt service payments are estimated <br />to be approximately the same as those in effect at the time of annexation for each of the <br />political subdivisions to which the proposed annexation applies. <br />Because of the relatively small size of the Annexation Area and its assessed value relative to <br />the total size and tax base of the various political subdiv isions , this annexation is expected , for <br />at least four years after the effective date of this annexation, to have a negligible impact on <br />the finances and tax revenues of South Bend and othe r political subdivisions to which the <br />proposed annexation applies, on the political subdivisions in St. Joseph County not pa rt of this <br />annexation, and on taxpayers not part of this annexation .
