REGULAR MEETINGMAY 23, 2005 <br />pamphlets were available to the pubic, which outline the Council rules and procedures, <br />and are located on the railing in the Council Chambers. <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />BILL NO. 19-05 PUBLIC HEARING ON A BILL OF THE COMMON <br /> COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, <br /> ANNEXING TO AND BRINGING WITHIN THE CITY <br /> LIMITS OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AND <br /> AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR <br /> PROPERTY LOCATED IN GERMAN TOWNSHIP <br /> CONTIGUOUS THEREWITH, COUNCILMANIC <br /> DISTRICT #1, JO ANN NUCCI, 52520 PORTAGE <br /> ROAD, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA <br />Councilmember Kirsits made a motion to hear the substitute version of this bill. <br />Councilmember Varner seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) <br />ayes. <br />Councilmember Kuspa, Chairperson, Zoning and Annexation Committee, reported that <br />this Committee met this afternoon and it was the consensus of the Committee to send this <br />bill to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. <br />th <br />Paul Thuringer, Staff Member, Area Plan Commission, 11 Floor County-City Building, <br />South Bend, Indiana, presented the report from the Area Plan Commission. <br />Mr. Thuringer stated that the petitioner is requesting a zone change from “R” Residential <br />(County) to “CB” Community Business (City) to allow Uses allowed under the “CB” <br />Community Business District including a drive-up window. On site is a single-family <br />home. To the north is vacant land in the County zoned “R” Residential. To the east is an <br />apartment complex in the City zoned “MF2” Multi-Family. To the south is vacant land <br />in the County zoned “R” Residential. To the west are commercial uses including a bank <br />in the City zoned “CB” Community Business. The “CB” Community Business District is <br />established to provide a location for high volume and high intensity commercial uses. <br />Activities in this district are often large space users, which may include limited amounts <br />of outdoor sales or outdoor operations. The site to be rezoned is approximately 2.11 <br />acres. The site plan shows the 12,745 square foot building with the drive-through on the <br />north side of the building. The site plan shows two entrances off Portage Road. <br />Extensive required landscaping is shown around the perimeter of the site and the <br />foundation of the building. The property to the west was annexed and rezoned to “CB” <br />Community Business for a shopping center, drycleaner, restaurant, and similar businesses <br />in March of 2005. The property to the southwest of the petition area was rezoned to “C” <br />Commercial in 2001 for retail, a restaurant, and financial institution. The property to the <br />northwest was rezoned to “OB” Office Buffer, “CB” Community Business, and “MF2” <br />Multi-family for: retail, restaurant, office, and multi-family housing. Portage Road is a <br />major thoroughfare between the northern parts of the county and South Bend. It is two <br />lanes at this location. The building will be serviced by municipal water and sanitary <br />sewer. The petition area lies within a designated Commercial Growth area as stated in <br />the St. Joseph County-South Bend Land Use Plan. This area is part of an expanding <br />commercial node. Portage Road is an arterial that experiences residential commuter and <br />commercial traffic throughout the day. The most desirable us e for this are is for <br />commercial uses. With commercial zoning approved to the northwest, west, and <br />southwest, rezoning this property will be consistent with the development that has <br />occurred and is expected to occur in the area. This petition should not have negative <br />impacts on the surrounding property values. As demand has increased for commercial <br />services, it is responsible to allow for the expansion of the zoning, provided that it is done <br />in an orderly fashion. This petition area will better serve the daily needs of the residents <br />of the area and has no conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan. With the extensive <br />landscape screening that is to be employed, there should not be any negative impacts on <br />the surrounding property values. Based on information available prior to the public <br />9 <br /> <br />
