Cataldo Annexation Area <br />E. Buildings & Land Use <br />2 <br />The Annexation Area contains one single - family house on a wooded lot. A gas station with a <br />convenience store and other commercial uses are proposed for the land. <br />F. Zoning & Subdivisions <br />The one property in the Annexation Area is currently zoned "A" Agricultural District in St. <br />Joseph County. With the annexation petition, the petitioner is seeking to rezone the land to <br />"CB" Community Business District in the City. The Annexation Area does not fall within any <br />subdivision of record. <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 2015 payable 2016.
