Re: Bill#110-21 - A proposed ordinance of INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY to zone from
NC Neighborhood Center to I Industrial, property located at southwest corner of Adams Road and St.
Joseph Valley Parkway, City of South Bend - PC# 0070-21
Dear Council Members:
I hereby Certify that the above referenced ordinance of INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY
was legally advertised on September 10, 2021 and that the South Bend Plan Commission at its public

proposed ordinance of INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY to zone from NC Neighborhood
Center to I Industrial, property located at southwest corner of Adams Road and St. Joseph Valley
Parkway, City of South Bend, is sent to the Common Council with a FAVORABLE recommendation,
subject to a written commitment that the western buffer shown on the site plan presented of
approximately 275' to the fence and 350' to the building remain in place with no buildings located
within that buffer area.
The staff report is attached. The deliberations of the Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at
the above decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, Minutes of the public hearing are
available in our office and will be posted on our website once approved.

Property Information
Location: southwest corner of Adams Road and St. Joseph Valley Parkway
Owner: INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY
Requested Action
Rezone from NC Neighborhood Center to I Industrial
Variance(s): 1) from the required durable dust free surface for outdoor storage to gravel
Project Summary
AEP wishes to construct a new service center in South Bend, Indiana. This includes an approzimately
98,000 SF office and garage building and 15,000 SF detached vehicle storage building. A substation will
also be located on the NE corner of the site.
Location Map
Recommendation
Staff Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff
recommends the Plan Commission send the rezoning petition to the Common Council with a
favorable recommendation.

Proposed Site Plan
Staff Report -PC#0067-21 9/20/2021
SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 3 of 5
Land Uses and Zoning:
On site: The site is currently vacant and is heavily wooded in some sections while other sections
have been used for agriculture purposes recently.
North: To the north, across Adams Road, is a tilled agriculture field zoned NC Neighborhood
Center.
East: To the east, across the St. Joseph Valley Parkway (bypass), are industrial warehouses
zoned I Industrial
South: To the south are residential properties zoned R Residential in the County.
West: To the west are residential properties zoned R Residential in the County.
District Intent:
The I District is established to provide a location for medium- to high intensity industrial uses,
typically grouped along highways and major streets and separated from residential uses.
Site Plan Description:
The current site plan shows a new service center including approximately 98,000 SF office and
garage building and 15,000 SF detached vehicle storage building. A substation will also be
located on the NE corner of the site.
Zoning and Land Use History and Trends:
The property was initially annexed into South Bend in the early 2000s and included as part of the
Portage Prairie PUD. The development was predicated on a proposed interchange at Adams
Road and the the US-31 bypass with the intention of creating a mixed use development to
support apartments and other mixed use growth west of the interchange. This development did
not materialize leading to the property remaining agriculture in use despite being zoned mixed-
use.
With the new Zoning Ordinance in 2020, any property zoned PUD was paired with the district
most closely related to the intended uses and development standards. Because the area west of
the bypass was intended to have a mix of uses, the properties were assigned to Neighborhood
Center District. The surrounding area east of the bypass has become heavily industrial with a
large increase in companies in the past decade.
Traffic and Transportation Considerations:
Adams Road is two lanes with no on-street parking. The St. Joseph Valley Parkway (bypass) is a
limited access freeway. At this time, there seems to be little interest from INDOT in constructing
the Adams Road interchange.
Agency Comments:
There are no additional comments at this time.
Staff Comments:
While AEP does not need to rezone the property to operate the substation, the I Industrial District
is appropriate for the adjacent service center. The property is centrally located for the AEP
service area with easy access to major roads, allowing them to service the public in a more
timely manner.
Agency Comments
Site & Context
Staff Report -PC#0067-21 9/20/2021
SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 4 of 5
Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to:
1.Comprehensive Plan:
Policy Plan:
The petition is consistent with the City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan (2006), Objective
ED 2: Retain existing businesses and recruit new ones to the city.
Land Use Plan:
The Future Land Use Plan identities this area for Mixed Use.
Plan Implementation/Other Plans:
There are no other plans specific to this area.
2.Current Conditions and Character:
While the proposed development was annexed with the intent of being a mixed use area, the
highway interchange needed to make that successful never materialized. The area is currently
rural residential and agricultural.
3.Most Desirable Use:
The most desirable use, as this time, is a use more compatible with the growing industrial and
distribution growth seen east of the bypass.
4.Conservation of Property Values:
The I Industrial District includes buffering requirements designed to mitigate the impact on
surrounding property values.
5.Responsible Development and Growth:
It is responsible development and growth to allow for the site to be used in a similar manner to
properties east of the bypass. As the land is already annexed into the City Limits, using the land
to its highest and best use is responsible development for the City.
Variance(s)
The petitioner is seeking the following variance(s):
1) from the required durable dust free surface for outdoor storage to gravel
State statutes and the Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be met before a
variance can be approved. The standards and their justifications are as follows:
(1) The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare of the community.
The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community. Due to the distance of the parking lot from any accessible public right-of-way and
being bounded by a limited access highway with no direct access from the site, the negative
impacts of a gravel parking lot are mitigated and should not be injurious to the general welfare of
the community.
(2) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not
be affected in a substantially adverse manner.
The parking lot will be a considerable distance and buffered from any privately owned adjacent
property. This should limit any adverse affects of the gravel parking. The existence of the bypass
to the east and large buffering on site should also limit any adverse affects.
(3) The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical difficulties
in the use of the property.
Criteria for Decision Making
Rezoning
Staff Report -PC#0067-21 9/20/2021
SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 5 of 5
The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would require the developer to develop their
site to unnecessary standards. The site is far removed from adjacent uses and bordered by a
limited access highway.
(4) The variance granted is the minimum necessary.
The variance granted is the minimum necessary for the petitioner to develop the site in
accordance with the I Industrial District standards and taking into account the unique conditions
of the property.
(5) The variance granted does not correct a hardship caused by a former or current owner
of the property.
The variance granted does not correct a hardship caused by a former or current owner of the
property. Neither the current nor former owners are responsible for the bypass running alongside
the property or the rural nature of the surrounding properties.
Commitments: There are no written commitments proposed.
Analysis: While the NC Neighborhood Center District is the most closely related district to the original
uses of the PUD, it is not well suited for this area. The NC District is typically pedestrian-
orientated in scale and well connected to surrounding residential neighborhoods. The site will
most likely never meet those characteristics, and the mixed use development originally proposed
will likely never occur.
As a public utility regulation by the IURC, the AEP substation is permitted by right in any district.
The zoning ordinance cannot restrict the location of the proposed substation and utility lines.
Allowing the site be zoned to the I Industrial District will better suit the use and provide additional
protections for adjacent property owners through increased buffering.
Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends the
Plan Commission send the rezoning petition to the Common Council with a favorable
recommendation.
