requesting to rezone the property to DC (Downtown
Commercial). . ,
Staff Finding/Opinion
This site is perhaps one of the most prominent, undeveloped parcels in Downtown at this time. It will be
important to develop it in a manner that furthers walkability and overall quality of life in the area. The
proposed DC zoning is the best way to ensure that type of development occurs. The rezoning meets
the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and is highly consistent with other recent development in the
area.
Criteria for Consideration
The Jeffersonville Zoning Ordinance and Indiana State Statute IC 36-7-4-603 outlines that the following
shall be considered when the Plan Commission is reviewing a rezoning request:
• The Comprehensive Plan;
• Current conditions and character of structures and uses in each district;
• The most desirable use for which the land in each district is adapted;
• The conservation of property values throughout the jurisdiction; and
• Responsible development and growth.
Required Action
Make a motion to forward this rezoning to the Jeffersonville City Council with a FAVORABLE
recommendation, UNFAVORABLE recommendation, or NO recommendation

Staff Analysis for Change in Zoning
The following is a summaryof staffs analysis of the proposed rezoning as it relates to the land use and
development policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance:
Comprehensive Plan and Planning Districts
The property to be rezoned falls within the mixed-use commercial/Residential classification in the
Future Land Use Map shown below. The proposed DC zoning designation for this property specifically
allows for a mix of commercial and residential land uses and, therefore, is consistent with the future
land use map.

Planning Districts Map
Page 2 of 5 PC-19-61
The following are descriptions of these planning districts from the Comprehensive Plan.
Traditional Neighborhood/Workplace
This planning district is characterized by a mix of traditional neighborhoods interspersed with small to
medium scaled commercial uses and legacy industrial sites. It is generally served by a grid pattern of
streets with sidewalks and often includes alleys. Residential lots are predominately narrow and often
deep, but the neighborhood may contain sections of larger estate lots, and other parcels on which
appropriately integrated higher density residential uses may be located. Commercial buildings within
the district often have little or no setback from the streets and are well integrated into the residential
fabric. New housing opportunities, commercial development/redevelopment and civic/community
uses should be encouraged. Expansion/development of legacy industrial uses should be very limited.
Primary Gateways
Primary gateway features can delineate and announce one's arrival into a city,
neighborhood, or unique public space. These gateway features not only shape a visitor's first
impression of the city, but can also reflect the unique features and character of Jeffersonville.
Context sensitive enhancements and broad infill redevelopment guidelines to gateway
corridors and adjacent buildings should be identified and recommended.
Downtown Historic District
This district is comprised of predominately office, commercial, civic, high-density residential and
cultural land uses. It has a grid pattern of streets designed to accommodate a large volume of
vehicular traffic and public transportation. There are provisions for on-street and long-term parking of
vehicles and for substantial pedestrian and non-vehicular movement within the district. Buildings are
generally the greatest in volume and density in the metropolitan area, and there is public open space
including plazas and squares. The Downtown Historic District should give identity to the whole
community and should provide fora mixture of high density and intensity uses.
The proposed DC zoning allows a mix of commercial and residential uses that is consistent with the
Traditional Neighborhood/Workplace district. It is also consistent with the adjacent planning districts

Multi-Family). This district that only allows residential : '' 1,44,44

property. There are R3 (Old City Residential) properties
