®CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK Committee Chair Davis then stated, So there isn't a potential use of the land. Is there any way that zoning can take place without having a financial plan in place in terms of issues regarding Census matters? Mr. Wyatt replied, I don't think I really understand your question. Committee Chair Davis stated, We have limitations to annex things prior to December 31, 2018 because of the United States Census. The report given to Area Plan and to my understanding is that there is no current financial or future plan in place regarding future development. So I do understand the need for us to move forward with the issue of the annexation but I'm trying to understand the need for us to do the financial plan right now at this time since there is not a stated timeline for that part. Or if we don't do it at this time, would that affect us if we waited to do that in 2020? I know we have to do the zoning before that but what about the financial plan? To me it is two (2) separate issues. What are your thoughts? Committeemember Broden stated, State Law dictates that, right? The annexation has to have a fiscal plan. Mr. Wyatt stated, The fiscal plan has to be adopted before the annexation part. Committee Chair Davis asked, We can't just do the annexation part of it? Councilmember Teshka stated, According to what Mr. Palmer said earlier, we have to hear the fiscal plan first(1St). Committee Chair Davis stated, So therefore, it all has to be one (1) and it all has to have the issue of the type of zoning that has to go in it.The annexation and the issue of redevelopment plans have to be all in one (1)? Mr. Palmer replied, We do not have to have it combined in these petitions. Committee Chair Davis replied, What do you mean they don't have to be? Mr. Palmer replied, They could choose to go solely for annexation without zoning changes but they went to the Area Plan Commission with a combined petition for annexation and rezoning. Committee Chair Davis stated, Ok, cool. Councilmember Teshka asked, Would we not have to rezone anyhow because we don't have a City designation for Agricultural? Council President Tim Scott replied, Yeah, we do. Mr. Wyatt replied, The rezoning would have to occur because districts from the County are completely different from those in the City.A,Agricultural District doesn't exist in the City. When you annex,you have to have a zone. You can't just leave it up in the air. It has to have a zone when it comes into the City. According to Mr. Divita, if they would annex without choosing a zone, it would come in as Single-Family and Two (2)-Family District.
