facilitate the development of a residential ti "'
subdivision. Staff has not received a formal plat 1.s 1? - - fj '
for this lot, however, given there is a large utilityx

and the unique shape of the lot, the maximum r . . ��`'F"�► '.,,�', J ,.� ' fit,,,

Staff Finding/Opinion '' . `��- � * --4,
The proposed rezoning is an in-fill project that aligns with the Future Land Use Map and meets the
goals set forth for the planning district in which the property is located. As stated above, the number of
units that could fit on this lot is likely minimal and therefore is unlikely to have a negative impact on the
surrounding area. Staff approves of this rezoning request.
Criteria for Consideration

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-24-12) to the Jeffersonville City Council with
[insert recommendation] as presented to the Plan Commission on March 26, 2024.

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
Current Zoning
The subject property is shown in the zoning map
to the right. The property is currently zoned CO R
•
(Commercial — Office Only). Abutting properties ,
are zoned R1 (Single Family Residential — Large ""' �
Lot) to the East and West, NS (Institutional Uses) � \
y: ' is
and C1 (Commercial — Medium Scale) to the
North, and M2 (Multi-Family Residential — :' x A-,
Medium Scale) to the South. •
District Intent: Existing
The "CO" (Commercial — Office Only) District is intended .
to provide a land use category to small-scale, low-impact w'' _
commercial uses that provide services to neighborhoods.
The provisions that regulate this land use district should promote appropriate commercial uses that are
clearly non-conflicting with adjacent neighborhoods in Jeffersonville.
Jeffersonville's Plan Commission should strive to use this district exclusively for existing lots along road
corridors in the City. The Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals should strive to exclude
businesses from the "CO" district that are not family oriented or that have an adverse effect on the
existing adjacent neighborhoods.
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
This property has a Future Land Use classification of Mixed Neighborhood. Mixed neighborhoods are
primarily residential in nature. They contain a mix of single and multi-family uses but also have other
commercial, industrial, and institutional uses scattered throughout. The residential nature of these
areas should be preserved, however, some densification of residential uses may occur throughout.
Small-scale commercial areas may be preserved, but not significantly expanded upon. Legacy
industrial uses in the area should also not be allowed to expand significantly and, when abandoned,
should be encouraged to transition away from industrial use.

Planning Districts Map
The project falls into the West Jeffersonville Planning District on the Planning Districts Map. The
following is description of this Planning District from the Comprehensive Plan.
Planning District 6: West Jeffersonville
The West Jeffersonville Planning District is primarily organized along Hamburg Pike, Charlestown Pike,
and Veterans Parkway. This area has been developed almost entirely after 1970 and continues to be
developed today. There is a mix of uses in the District, but unlike Districts 1 and 2, these uses are
highly compartmentalized into industrial parks, commercial centers, and residential neighborhoods. The
District should be seen as mostly stable except for the areas around Veterans Parkway that are
continuing to develop. The following goals are established for Planning Area 6:
• Support mixed-residential and commercial development at Jeffersonville Town Center and
adjacent parcels around the Hamburg Pike and Veterans Parkway intersection
Page 3 of 12 PC-24-12
• Promote neighborhood-friendly development and densification along Veterans Parkway,
Hamburg Pike and Woehrle Road corridors
• Support infill development and redevelopment elsewhere where sensible. Uses and
development standards should align with adjacent, similarly-zoned parcels to the greatest extent
possible
• Support industrial development where established along Hamburg Pike. Consider changes to
zoning north of 1-265 that allow for further industrial development
• Ensure that any new developments or building additions within existing residential
neighborhoods are appropriate in elements such as scale, form, and setbacks;
• 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
