Mixed-Use
This use blends a combination of residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or
industrial uses, or allows solely commercial uses. It can be one building, an
urban, suburban, or village development. The blend should be physically
integrated and functionally related to create a center or community. This use
typically creates a greater variety in housing, reduced distances between
housing, workplaces and amenities, more compact development, stronger
neighborhood character, and should be pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

Suburban Neighborhood
These neighborhoods are typically characterized by a range of low to moderately
dense residential uses that blend compatibly into the existing landscape and
neighborhood areas. High-density uses will be limited in scope to minor or major
arterials and to areas that have limited impact on the low to moderately dense
residential areas. The Suburban Neighborhoods district will contain diverse
housing choices for differing ages and incomes.
Traditional Marketplace Corridors
Traditional Marketplace Corridors are along major roadways where the pattern of
development is distinguished by a mixture of low to medium intensity uses such as
neighborhood-serving shops, small specialty shops, restaurants, and services.
The Traditional Marketplace Corridor was expanded along 10th Street to
encourage a form that is more pedestrian oriented with development that has little
or no setbacks. The uses in Traditional Marketplace Corridors frequently have
apartments or offices on the second story. Buildings generally have little or no
setback, roughly uniform heights and a compatible building style. Buildings are
oriented toward the street and typically have 2-4 stories. New development and
redevelopment should respect the predominant rhythm, massing and spacing of
existing buildings.
There should also be a connected street and alley system. New development
should maintain the existing grid pattern and typical block size with parking
provided either on-street or in lots at the rear of buildings. Flexible and shared
parking arrangements are encouraged and streets capable of permitting parking
on the street is usually desirable. Wide sidewalks, street furniture and shade
trees contribute to a pedestrian friendly environment that invites shoppers to
make multiple shopping stops without moving their vehicle. The area should also
be easily accessible by pedestrians, transit and bicycle users. The attention to
discreet signs can also help make this a very desirable form. A premium should
be placed on the compatibility of scale, architectural style, and building materials
of any proposed developments with nearby existing development on the corridor.

Transportation Network
The site to be rezoned is located immediately adjacent to the new full-access
interchange of Highway 265 and Old Salem Road. To the North, Old Salem
provides access to the River Ridge Commerce Center; to the South the road
provides access to the Town of Utica. Recently INDOT, River Ridge, and
Jeffersonville have been working on the design of a "Heavy Haul Road" that
would bypass Utica in order to allow direct freight access between by River
Ridge and the Port of Indiana. The preferred design alternative for this road
project bisects this property as shown in Figure 6 on the next page

Staff Guidance and Considerations
1. The Comprehensive Plan:
o The future land use plan designates this area as Mixed-Use.
• The intention of this designation is to provide areas that
include both commercial and residential uses that often
include missing segments of the housing market.
o The Planning Districts Map designates frontage on Old Salem
Road as Traditional Marketplace Corridors and the remaining
property to the west as Suburban Neighborhood.
• This designation further indicates that this property is best
suited to the City's long-term vision as a mixture of
commercial and residential use.
2. Current conditions and character of structures and uses in each district:
a. This property is proximate to a freeway interchange and has
excellent access to the road network. Changes made by the
construction of the Heavy Haul Road may, however, limit access to
this property in the future and should be taken into consideration.
b. Districts immediately surrounding the property are generally rural in
character (agricultural, forest, and large lot residential), although
there are a few subdivisions in close proximity. The surrounding
uses do not necessarily rule out the rezoning of this property
c. The site is also just across the freeway from the now under-
construction River Ridge Office and Research Campus. This
complex is "designed to offer a true sense of place to organizations
located there, as well as the larger community. Serving as as "front
door" to River Ridge from the new interchange, this area beautifies
its surroundings and offers Class A amenities in an environment
separate from the established manufacturing and distribution park
section of River Ridge" (RiverRidgecc.com). It is in the City's best
interest to ensure that development of this parcel is complementary
and compatible with this significant new investment in our
community.
d. With the opening of the new 265 highway and bridge, there is a
new multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists that terminates at a
trailhead across the road from the subject property.
3. The most desirable use for which the land in each district is adapted:
a. The site is geographically and environmentally constrained. Severe
topographical changes with two deep valleys (elevation changes
from 460-550 feet, or 90 feet of change) as well as watercourses,
wetlands, and floodplain exist on site (see figure 5).
b. While these facts pose a challenge to any development they are a
more difficult challenge for the large-scale commercial
developments typically associated with C2 Zoning. Large-scale
development of this site would necessitate substantial grading. This
may include the filling of the valleys and rerouting of streams on
this property. The 1-265 roadway is progressing through the Indiana
Scenic Byway designation process. The Commissioner of the
Indiana of Transportation (INDOT) and Lieutenant Governor
Page 8 of 27 PC-18-23 1417 Old Salem Rd Rezoning
Suzanne Crouch have signed the approval of the application.
Altering the natural geography of the land abutting a scenic byway
would be in conflict with the goals of this designation.
c. This statement summarized the goals of the INDOT program: "The
Indiana Byway Program is designed to preserve, protect, enhance
and recognize transportation corridors of unique character. These
corridors are notable examples of our nation's beauty, history,
culture and recreational experience."
d. The application for Designation included this Statement of
Significance: "This newly-constructed section of the Ohio River
Bridges Project provides a new gateway to Southern Indiana
through an area that not only offers visually stunning vistas but also
is rich in the history of our community. Alongside the new
highway lie historic districts, protected areas and individual historic
properties that allow us glimpses of our past. The Lime Kilns of
Utica and the INAAP Igloo Historic District are within the viewshed
of the highway, and are reminders of the critical importance of this
area over the last two centuries".
e. The challenges of the site would be more easily overcome with the
use of fine-grain development patterns that are more adaptable to
the topography including a mix of residential structures, small
footprint commercial buildings on small lots, and green open space.
f. As mentioned above, there exists a new trailhead and multi-use
path across the road from the subject property. Currently, this
facility is an "island" as there are no existing connections to this
amenity beyond a vehicular road which can only be accessed via
automobiles. The subject property is highly desirable for integrating
new trail/multi-use path connections to provide a higher utilization
of and access to existing facilities. This property serves as a
"keystone" to establishing access to existing and future
neighborhoods and employment centers. It is the Planning Office's
preferred path for future pedestrian connections, in contrast to the
Old Salem Road alterative connection which creates interstate
traffic conflicts. The land is specifically well adapted to
accommodate these facilities with the existence of natural
amenities and points of interest (waterways, tree cover, and other
habitat). Any development proposed within the subject property
should accommodate the expansion of this pedestrian system. The
format of C2 zoned development could pose challenges to creating
these types of connections (large scale development, large format
parking, traffic speeds, and grading, etc.).
4. The conservation of property values throughout the jurisdiction:
a. A zoning change at this freeway interchange will likely not change
the land values of surrounding properties in a significant way.
Development of the property, depending on size, scale, and type of
use could, however, impact adjacent property values in the future.
b. Adding additional commercial property to the City of Jeffersonville
could, however, erode the value of other existing commercial
Page 9 of 27 PC-18-23 1417 Old Salem Rd Rezoning
properties as market conditions indicate an oversupply of
commercially zoned property.
c. Since we do not know the intended use of this property, we do not
know whether the rezoning would enhance or compete with the
River Ridge Office and Research Park now under development.
Coordinating any land use in this area with River Ridge will be
important for maintaining their high level of investment in the area.
5. Responsible development and growth:
a. When considering what is responsible development and growth, an
accounting of the current total balances of available land dedicated
to commercial and residential use must be completed with an
understanding of potential future supply and City-wide needs.
i. Currently, there is an inadequate supply of land zoned for
residential use.
ii. Currently, there is an abundance of available commercial
land offerings resulting in saturated market with
approximately 450 acres of greenfield commercial sites
waiting to find tenants.
iii. There has been a historical undersupply of new housing
starts (new housing construction) due to several market
factors including availability and pricing of vacant land.
Staff Outlook and Recommendation
An overall assessment by Planning Staff indicates the blanket C2 rezoning
request is not in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and
future land use plan for the City. The rezoning proposal to a blanket C2 zoning
also fails to sufficiently and positively satisfy the other considerations identified in
IC 36-7-4-603.
Also, the outlook of the commercial development market indicates that the
potential development resulting from this rezoning would have a low probability of
successfully meeting the City's long-term needs. Beyond this, commercial
development of this location will likely struggle given the abundance of available
commercial land in the area.
A more responsible approach to this property would be to create a planned
development that takes into consideration the distinct topographical challenges of
this site and its unique location rather than a blanket rezoning. City Staff
recommends that applicant either go through a PUD process or rezone a smaller
subset of the property, preferably the land in closest proximity to the freeway
interchange and with the highest potential for commercial development (see

1.Statement of Significance-Briefly describe the route and why route sponsors believe it should receive
state designation.
This newly-constructed section of the Ohio River Bridges Project provides a new gateway to Southern
Indiana through an area that not only offers visually stunning vistas but also is rich in the history of our
community. Alongside the new highway lie historic districts, protected areas and individual historic
properties that allow us glimpses of our past. The Lime Kilns of Utica and the INAAP Igloo Historic
District are within the viewshed of the highway,and are reminders of the critical importance of this area
over the last two centuries. The Kentucky section of the highway is also flanked by many properties
with equally important historical significance.
1I
Page 15 of 27 PC-18-23 1417 Old Salem Rd Rezoning
During the development of the Ohio River Bridges Project (ORBP), painstaking efforts were made to
design and build the new bridge and roadway within the context of the area whenever possible.As I am
sure that you are aware,it is stipulated in the Memorandum of Agreement for the ORBP that:
"The roadways,bridges,and other Project elements where applicable shall be designed and constructed
with sensitivity to aesthetic values, historic cultural landscapes, and the historic context, utilizing the
services of professionals with experience in areas related to historic preservation. Design shall include
aesthetic treatments to surfaces,structures,portals,appurtenances,and land contours and landscaping
that complement the historical contexts of historic properties and in keeping with the Historic
Preservation Plans(HPPs)for those areas."
The future of the area deserves protection as much as the past. Designation as a Scenic Byway would
afford some of that protection, particularly if it were to be added as part of the existing Ohio River
Scenic Byway system.The proposed state designation would obviously begin at the Indiana-Kentucky
line,but it can be noted here that River Road in Kentucky carries the state Scenic Byway designation and
national designation has been discussed. The other terminus of the proposed designation is State Road
62,which from Jeffersonville to Hanover has already been designated as a national scenic byway and is
part of the three-state Ohio River Scenic Byway.
2. Road Section or Areas-The road sections or areas recommended for designation should be clearly
described by a written paragraph. The written description should include the general location within the
state. the county, road name and number, mileposts, adjacent cities,direction of road and area. Any
information concerning the entity responsible for the roadway should be included.
The portion of highway recommended for designation and amendment to the Ohio River Scenic Byway
is the newly-constructed section of SR 265 from the Indian-Kentucky State Line to SR 62.This generally is
located between the Ohio River (adjacent to the Town of Utica) and SR 62 near the River Ridge
Commerce Center(adjacent to the City of Jeffersonville).
Both SR 265 and SR 62 are the responsibility of INDOT. Utica-Charlestown Road and Old Salem Road(at
the first interchange from the state line) are maintained by Clark County. Port Road (at the next
interchange north)is maintained by the Indiana Port Authority.
3.Maps—The road sections or areas recommended for designation should be depicted on a standard,
published map. The area depicted should include both roadway and visual boundaries and be delineated
with marking pens or similar instruments of legible quality. interesting,relevant points should be labeled
on the map. Maps can be separate documents, but should be included with the application
Please see Attachment#1
4.Project Support—Identify the individual(s)or organization(s)having jurisdictional authority over the
roadway and the part they will play in the designation process.
Please see Attachments p2 through 49
2)
Page 16 of 27 PC-18-23 1417 Old Salem Rd Rezoning
5.Promotion/Marketing Plan—Discuss how the route sponsor proposes to promote and market the
route on the local and regional level. Include promotional activities planned,placement of
scenic/historical markers,interpretive centers,and proposed improvements or development along the
route. Also include the financial resources available to develop,upgrade,promote and otherwise make
the route available for its intended uses.
This proposal is to include this section of SR 265 as a component of the existing Ohio River Scenic Byway.
As such,the preservation and promotion of the area would be considered coincidental with that of the
other parts of that system.
The website for the Ohio River Scenic Byway(http://ohioriverbyway.com),and more specifically,the
pages found under"Visitor Information and"Maps and Directions",will be updated to include the new
segment.The map of the Ohio River Scenic Byway will be modified to include the new segment
(http://ohioriverbyway.com/maps/).
The Clark-Floyd Counties Convention and Tourism Bureau will also update its website with information
concerning the new segment(https://www.gosoin.com/listineohio-river-scenic-byway/45/).The
Bureau has been marketing the area's connection to the Lewis&Clark Expedition Story for some time,
and was a leader in the development of Indiana's section of the existing Ohio River Scenic Byway.The
naming of the new bridge that leads to this proposed segment offers a natural extension of existing
storytelling about the associated destinations and visitor experiences.
6.Corridor Management Plan—
This proposal is to include this section of SR 265 as a component of the existing Ohio River Scenic Byway.
As such,the Corridor Management Plan(CMP)for that program would be considered applicable to any
newly-designated areas.
The CMP will be amended to add the new segment. Section 2.6 will add the new segment in the listing
of the various segments of the existing Ohio River Scenic Byway,The segment will be listed as follows:
SR 265 from the Lewis&Clark Bridge to SR 62.
Amendments will also be made to the CMP in the following sections:
Section 2.5-Significance of Intrinsic Qualities
-Historic Resources
Beginning in the late 18205,lime kilns were constructed on properties in the vicinity of the
proposed segment of the Byway. An Interpretive Plaque is currently in place describing the history and
significance of the Lime Production process in the area.
The Indiana Army Ammunition Plant was constructed on adjacent property in 1940,and was the
largest manufacturer in the world of smokeless gunpowder.More than 27,000 workers were employed
there during peak production.An Interpretive Plaque will be erected by the Indiana Historical Bureau
identifying the plant.
3l
Page 17 of 27 PC-18-23 1417 Old Salem Rd Rezoning
Section 5• Community Involvement
5.2N will be added,noting that opportunities to expand the Byway will be explored.
Section 6.3•Outdoor Advertising
No change is required to the CMP for this particular issue,but it should be noted that outdoor
advertising will be monitored on this section in a similar fashion as on the other segments of the Byway
and according to provisions in the section.
7. Future Opportunities to be developed—Based on the goals of the designation,identify projects that
could be pursed and any funding source that is available. I.e.acquisition of easements,pull-offs,vistas,
bike paths,etc.
Generally,the aim is to preserve the current viewshed and to protect historic and archeological
resources in the corridor.
8.Route Concerns—Identify all possible deficiencies along the roadway that might pose as concerns of
the designation. I.e.gaps in the route,unsafe conditions,maintenance,etc.
None are anticipated,This is a new facility.

Subject: Request for Scenic Byway designation in Southern Indiana
Larry,
I hope all is well with you and your teammates at KIPDA.
As you know,One Southern Indiana(lsi)is the local economic development organization and chamber of commerce for
Clark and Floyd Counties in Southern Indiana. lsi proactively works to grow our regional economy through business
attraction,retention and expansion;through encouraging and supporting entrepreneurs and workforce development;
and through providing government and workforce advocacy,business education,networking opportunities and other
business services to our members and investors. This memo is to indicate our interest in having the I-265 corridor
leading from Indiana State Road 62 to the new Lewis and Clark Bridge across the Ohio River designated as a Scenic
Byway.
This corridor serves as the new"front door"to the River Ridge Commerce Center. lsi recognizes this area surrounding
River Ridge Commerce Center will impact the development patterns for the center,both now and in the future. The I-
265 corridor between the new Lewis and Clark Bridge and SR 62 is and will remain critical for businesses within River
Ridge,and the aesthetic appeal of the entire park will attract the high wage employers we have targeted for our
economic opportunities and community growth.
As you know,River Ridge is a world-class business and industrial park with 6,000 prime acres under development in the
Midwest's top-ranked business environment. The economic development goal for this property is to meet the tailored
needs and create the top destination for advanced manufacturing,distribution,research and development,office and
industrial companies from across the nation and around the world. With exceptional geographical and logistical
advantages now in place and the recently completed Lewis and Clark Bridge,River Ridge has all the elements to become
America's premier development site.
Our success with the development has been planned down to the covenants,conditions and restrictions.These
aesthetic enhancements were vetted with the community and adopted into the development standards for all
structures and landscaping within River Ridge We hope that,to protect these public and private investments,the 1-265
corridor will receive this Scenic Byway designation to maximize the future growth potential for the region by leveraging
the significant investments already being made.
Thanks,Larry,for your consideration!

Larry,
As you are well aware,completion of the Ohio River Bridges Project created a beautiful,grand entrance into the
State of Indiana. It is inarguable that as one crosses over the Lewis&Clark Bridge into Indiana,spectacular
views of the Ohio River and the many other works of nature along the shoreline are revealed. In addition,the
new two mile section of SR 265 from the bridge to the SR 62 interchange is presently uncluttered and pristine.
It would be a travesty if the pastoral,natural views enjoyed by our pioneer forebears are spoiled by garish
billboards which advertise everything from hamburgers to adult bookstores along the roadway.
This entire area is also significant from a historical perspective due to the Lewis&Clark Expedition route,its
proximity to the World War II Army ammunition plant,the nearby archeological sites of Native Americans as
well as many other examples of this region's rich history. (NOTE:Two of those examples provided by INDOT
are highlighted in the attachments to this email.)
To insure this spectacular scenic gateway into Indiana is protected,we are requesting that KIPDA nominate SR
265 from the Lewis&Clark Bridge to the SR 62 interchange as a Scenic Byway. This designation would
protect the natural beauty of the area and actually connect two other wonderful existing byways. One of those
being the Ohio River Scenic Byway that runs along and parallel to the river from the Ohio state line to the
Mississippi River,and the second being the River Road Scenic Byway on the Kentucky side from downtown
Louisville to Prospect.
On behalf of the River Ridge Board of Directors and staff,we appreciate your consideration of this request.
Please let me know if there are any questions.

Dear Mr.Chaney:
With the opening of the Ohio River East End Bridge(now the Lewis&Clark Bridge)in December 2016 a beautiful,grand
entrance into the State of Indiana was created.It would be a travesty if this area is not preserved by allowing billboards
to be installed along the new section of SR 265 from the Bridge to the first interchange at International Drive and Old
Salem Road.There also are other impressive views along SR 265 from International Drive to the SR 62 interchange.This
is to request that KIPDA nominate SR 265 from the Lewis&Clark Bridge to the SR 62 interchange as a Scenic Byway to
insure this spectacular scenic gateway into Indiana can be enjoyed by generations to come.
The State of Indiana clearly has a vested interest in preserving the scenery and aesthetics of the land near the bridge.
Unlike travelers entering Indiana,traffic crossing the Lewis&Clark into Kentucky will never be visually slapped with
billboard advertising.A traveler can actually catch a glimpse of a soaring bald eagle,her nest,and other natural features
when crossing into Kentucky.The Indiana side boasts equally natural beauty that shouldn't be obstructed or mitigated
by intensive outdoor advertising,including those that would have methodically changes messages,colors and pictures.
In order to preserve this grand entrance into Indiana,we are requesting that KIPDA nominate SR 265 from the Lewis&
Clark Bridge to the SR 62 interchange as a Scenic Byway.
It would be a shame for Indiana to allow billboards to be the greetings and first impressions for travelers entering our
great and beautiful State.As people cross over the new Lewis and Clark Bridge,either walking or driving,a very stunning
spectacular and panoramic view of the Ohio River unfolds,This view actually includes areas of the Charlestown State
Park and the famous River Ridge where U.S.Army officers resided when the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant was
operational.The Indiana Department of Natural Resources(DNR)manages the state's parks.Great care and attention
are dedicated to the initial impact of the entrance roads and the setting that people find themselves joining(DNR wants
them to want to be there).The State of Indiana has also put a lot of energy and money into preserving historical
significant sites and the scenic beauty on the East side of the Ohio River.Shouldn't we,collectively,do the same thing for
the great,beautiful and historic Indiana side of the river. Please nominate SR 265 from the Lewis&Clark Bridge to the
intersection of SR 62 as an Indiana Scenic Byway.
This is to request that KIPDA nominate SR 265 from the Lewis&Clark Bridge to the SR 62 interchange as a Scenic Byway
to insure this spectacular scenic gateway into Indiana can be enjoyed by generations to come.We understand that the
State of Indiana contributed over$250 Million to construct a 265 tunnel under the Drumanard Estate in Louisville due to
its historic significance. I am certain that the state of Indiana cares just as much if not more for the aesthetics and
preservation of historically significant structures and scenery on the Indiana side of the bridge, Another major fact to
consider with this request is that this new Scenic Byway would connect two other wonderful existing byways. One of

those being the Ohio River Scenic Byway that runs along and parallel to the river from the Ohio state line to the
Mississippi River and the second being River Road Scenic Byway on the Kentuckyside of the river from downtown
Louisville to Prospect,KY.

Dear Mr. Chaney,
I am happy to have an opportunity to email you in support of a nomination of the above-mentioned
section of road as an Indiana Scenic Byway. I am authorized by two separate organizations to
provide this support wearing two hats:
1 As chair of the board of the Indiana Ohio River Scenic Byway.which intersects the roadway
in question;
2. As executive director of the Clark-Floyd Counties Convention&Tourism Bureau.
The increased connectivity offered by the completion of the Lewis&Clark Bridge is only the
beginning of the benefit to Southern Indiana. The subsequent economic development that will come
as a result is long-anticipated. Designation of this stretch of road as a Scenic Byway will help protect
the viewshed along this new gateway to Indiana enhancing our image as an inviting place to live,to
visit and a place where businesses want to invest.
The two organizations I represent have long histories with the establishment and management of
scenic byways and welcome the opportunity to expand roadway viewshed and resource
protection. We encourage KIPDA's nomination.

Dear Mr Chancy
As chairman of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Commission and original member of the three state(Ohio,Indiana.Illinois)
Ohio River Scenic Route and member of the committee who designed the logo and recently lead the effort to name the
new East End Bridge Lewis and Clark.I am very supportive of the designating SR265 to SR62 a scenic by-way
It is appropriate that this short stretch of the new entrance to Indiana,which is a beautiful scenic pastoral site,be
maintained for all to enjoy for many decades.During construction,great effort was taken to make the highway visually
welcoming to all who travel the new roadway.The viewshed needs to be protected
You are encouraged as Director of Transportation-KIPDA-to proceed to recommend to the INDOT commissioner the
SR265 from the Lewis and Clark Bridge to SR62 be designated a Scenic By-Way
