Case Summary +#_,- _ 1 �, ,-,. The applicant is proposing to construct a ''f �0 ~5.-�' single-family residential development on ` '�< 2 ,' approximately 139.75 acres. t ' It should be noted that the property located A ,' ''' 4 ( '" `''-„ near the middle of this parcel is not included �� 14 in this request. �,�, '` - :, Staff Findinq/Opinion , ,Yt \. 4 The proposed rezoning would allow for approximately 139.75 acres of agriculturally Fj 1, -'" -, zoned land to be used for residential uses. When considering a zoning change of this scale, Staff believes it is important to consider the effects of development on existing City transportation infrastructure and utilities in order to ensure that the City maintains a high quality of service for all residents. Given the City's announced plans to widen Charlestown Pike, there will be added capacity for this development in the near future. Staff does, however, have concerns about how this development may impact the extremely narrow King Road. The impact will likely have to be hashed out in the platting process. Otherwise based on similarly zoned developments nearby and the Comprehensive Plan's goals of increasing housing and housing diversity, Staff is recommending approval of this rezoning. 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 one of the following options: Favorable Recommendation, Unfavorable recommendation, or No Recommendation. Recommended motion "I make a motion to forward the rezoning request(PC-24-09) to the Jeffersonville City Council with [insert recommendation) as presented to the Plan Commission on (March 26, 2024). Page 1 of 9 PC-24-09 Staff Analysis for Change in Zoning The following is a summary of staff's analysis of the proposed development as it relates to the land use and development policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance: Current Zoning and UDO Zoning District Intent - • " y'• Current Zoning The subject property is shown in the zoning map to the right. The property is zoned Al (Agricultural). Adjacent properties are zoned Al `�� (Agricultural) to the West, North, East, and South, 0 T R1 (Single Family Residential — Large Lot) and • R2 (Single Family Residential — Medium Lot) to the East, and R3 (Single Family Residential — \ _. Small Lot) to the South. \t V ` �/ • District Intent: Existing V 41' The "Al" (Agricultural Zone) District is intended as a "place holder" for existing agricultural properties, rural estates, and natural areas in the far northwest portion of Jeffersonville. The Al district allows for continued agricultural production in this district as well as a few other agriculturally related uses. The Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals should strive to balance the needs of property owners in this district with that of encroaching development. District Intent: Proposed The R3 (Single Family Residential — Small Lot) District is intended to provide a land use category for single family homes on smaller-sized lots. The provisions that regulate this land use district should protect, promote and maintain existing residential areas in the City of Jeffersonville and may also be used for future housing growth. The Jeffersonville's Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals should strive to protect this district from conflicting land-uses such as industrial and large-scale commercial uses as well as nonfamily oriented businesses. Article 6 of this ordinance includes additional options and incentives for the development of subdivisions that preserve natural open spaces, floodplains, etc. that exist on site and/or dedicate and construct public park facilities. Future Land Use Map and Planning Districts Residential Neighborhood This property has a Future Land Use classification of Residential Neighborhood. These areas are primarily composed of single-family residences and should be preserved as such. Limited multi-family uses may be allowed if they are small-scale, such as duplexes or triplexes and located along primary road corridors including major and minor arterials and collector streets. Care should be taken to integrate any non-single-family projects into the neighborhoods through architectural scale, design, and adequate buffers. Some areas within this classification, especially in the northwestern parts of the city, contain large tracts of undeveloped land. When developed these areas should favor single-family subdivisions and only incorporate multi-family where immediately adjacent to a minor arterial or major collector street. Commercial, industrial, and large-scale institutional uses should be discouraged.

The following is description of this Planning District from the Comprehensive Plan. Planning District 10: Northwest Jeffersonville This area of Jeffersonville contains the largest quantity of potentially developable land in the City, much of which is currently being used as farmland. Development in this corner of the City is primarily residential with a mix of newer subdivisions, including a few currently under construction, and larger, formerly rural properties. The following goals are established for the Northwest Jeffersonville Planning District: • Promote new residential growth and development in this District. With few exceptions, where non-residential uses already exist such as those on Keystone Boulevard, growth and development should be of a residential nature. Single-family development is preferable to larger-scale apartment communities due to a lack of high-capacity road infrastructure • Encourage diversity in housing prices • Allow higher intensity development and densification only where immediately adjacent to Utica- Sellersburg Road, Charlestown Pike, and Highway 62. This development should be balanced with lower-density development further away from the main roads Page 3 of 9 PC-24-09 • Require new subdivisions to provide stub streets to adjacent undeveloped parcels for street grid connectivity. Encourage creation of more "through streets" to better disperse traffic • Reserve open space within new developments for recreational uses which serve local residents. Open spaces should be well connected to the street network to ensure public use • Utilize utility corridors and drainages to connect existing and future neighborhoods with recreational trails • Protect floodplain areas along Silver Creek and Pleasant Run from development. Utilize green corridors along these creeks for recreational use • Maintain appropriate buffers around the active quarry in this district Additional Notes • None Attachments 1.
