A sizeable portion of this , • ";�.. ° �° ': ' • -` property is located in the floodplain/floodway (shown later in this document). h4s Staff Finding/Opinion '• , �_ 47- � The proposed rezoning is an infill project that meets � the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. ' ` While adjoining zoning districts are generally less '\ dense, the fact that nearly half of the property is located in a floodplain means that only a portion of the site is buildable. Due to this fact, Staff supports '� s rezoning to a higher density zoning district than the existing abutting neighborhood. Staff also notes that while the R3 zoning district may be higher density that its surroundings, it is less dense than the existing M2 zoning district. 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-24-20 to the Jeffersonville City Council with (insert recommendation] as presented to the Plan Commission on August 27, 2024. Page 1 of 10 PC-24-20 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 zoned M2 (Multi 11(00: Family Residential - Medium Scale). Adjoining properties are zoned R1 (Single Family Residential - Large Lot) to the North, M1 (Multi- ;' • Family Residential - Small Scale) to the West, M3 (Multi-Family Residential - Large Scale) to 14114 the South, and M2 to the East. District Intent: Existing The M2 (Multi-Family- Medium Scale) District is intended to provide a land use category for ' medium-scale multi-family apartment, townhouse, or condominium developments. Such developments generally consist of a number of medium-scale buildings with no more than 12 units in a single building and no more than 100 units in a single development. The Jeffersonville's Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals should strive to integrate this district near other commercial districts and exercise greater sensitivity where this district is adjacent to other residential districts. This district should also be within close proximity to parks and open spaces that serve the residents. 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 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. Page 2 of 10 PC-24-20 /),,, \ . ,_ ,i, ,,, ., ',,,, ,,,., ., ,. s . ./`, s ♦ �� FUTURE LAND USE /. Al •� .

Planning Districts Map The project falls into the Midtown District on the Planning Districts Map. The following is description of this Planning District from the Comprehensive Plan. Planning District 5: Midtown Planning District 5 consists of a mix of commercial developments, institutional uses, and residential neighborhoods situated around 10th Street in the central portion of Jeffersonville. Development within this District spans decades - from the 1920s on the west end to the 1980s on the east end of the district. Much of the development in the district is automobile-oriented with large strip centers, gas stations, auto repair shops, and drive-thru fast-food restaurants. As newer commercial centers have formed further out, this area has fallen into decline and needs a good deal of adaptation in order to be productive again. Densification, mixing residential and commercial uses, multi-modal transportation enhancements, and the creation of smaller town centers could reinvigorate this area. The following goals are established for the Midtown Planning District: • Promote redevelopment, adaptive reuse, and infill development along 10th Street Page 3 of 10 PC-24-20 • Support the creation of higher-density, pedestrian-oriented developments along the corridor including pocket neighborhoods and town centers. Larger developments should consider opportunities for the creation of public spaces such as plazas, squares, or mini-parks • Promote mixed-residential development along the Jeffboat rail spur that may take advantage of the potential for access to Downtown and the River afforded by the spur • Ensure intentional transitions between higher intensity uses along 10th Street and adjacent single-family neighborhoods. Transitions may be made through changes in building scale, increased setbacks for taller buildings, and landscaping enhancements. • Provide a broad mix of housing types and price-points to ensure a diversity of residents • Require new developments to install sidewalks where existing sidewalk connections to local neighborhoods are missing Additional Notes • None Attachments 1.
