# Plan Commission Meeting 10.5.26

The Elkhart City Plan Commission meeting was called to order on October 5, 2026. The commission unanimously recommended that City Council approve Synergy Gateway Two LLC’s voluntary annexation of approximately 10.262 acres at 28505 County Road 20, where Mishawaka Sheet Metal plans to expand its manufacturing facility. The stated purpose was to obtain water and sanitary sewer service; the landowner will pay for utility extensions. Staff estimated an increase in assessed valuation of $1,229,300 and noted that the city could collect approximately $18,444 in additional property taxes after circuit-breaker limits. No city contract or procurement was approved.

The commission also unanimously approved two site-plan amendments: Banco LLC’s freestanding business sign at 921 Verdant Street, and Walmart’s parking-lot reconfiguration at 175 County Road 6 West, including pickup spaces, restriping, and pedestrian signage, with a net loss of about five parking spaces. The commission approved the meeting calendar and addressing items as well. The transcript identifies no procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions.
