Case Number: ZO-16-02
Petitioner: City of Jeffersonville, Planning & Zoning Department
Requests: Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Hearing Date: August 30, 2016
Proposed Change to the Zoning Ordinance
The Plan Commission staff recommends an amendment to the Jeffersonville
Zoning Ordinance (2000-OR-61) for recommendation to the City Council.
• Amend use tables in Article Four
o Removes "mini-storage facility (mini warehouse)" as a Special
Exception Use from C2 (Medium to Large Scale General
Commercial)
o Add "mini-storage facility (mini warehouse)" as a Permitted in 11
(Business Park/Light Industrial)
o Note: "mini-storage facility (mini warehouse)" are Permitted in NI
(Neighborhood Industrial)
The "mini-storage facility(mini warehouse)" use is an intense commercial/industrial
use that frustrates planning and redevelopment efforts in prime commercial
corridors and is much better suited to industrial areas as a regional use where the
scale and pattern of development is much larger and more intense.
• Amend process in Article Twelve
o 12.3 G. Zoning Amendments — Add e. The Planning Director shall
refuse to accept a petition for zoning map amendments within six (6)
months of the date of denial when said petition involves the same
property in whole or in part.
This addresses the potential burden of having the same application for rezoning
appear before Plan Commission and City Council repetitively after it has been
initially denied. This process has been taken from our existing Special Exception
use application exclusion.
