Shellbark Annexation Area 10 SECTION IV. LAND USE ANALYSIS & DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA This proposed annexation will add to the City of South Bend a small area of vacant land that will be incorporated into the development of a medical office facility. The Annexation Area will be used for a retention basin. The Annexation Area is presently zoned "R" Single Family District in unincorporated St. Joseph County. Single-family homes zoned "R" Single Family District in unincorporated St. Joseph County are located to the north and east. To the south and west are parcels under development zoned "CB" Community Business District in the City. The Annexation Area is located just off of Cleveland Road, east of Portage Avenue. Cleveland Road has strong levels of regional accessibility and hosts a mix of commercial, office, and civic uses in this area. The petitioner proposes to use the land in the Annexation Area to build a retention basin that will provide drainage for a medical office facility currently under development along Cleveland Road on land already within the South Bend city limits. This larger site should be adequately screened from the adjoining residential areas, primarily to the north. Any improvements or future changes must meet the City's applicable building, zoning, and subdivision ordinances.
