Commons, a number of older single-family homes on � ' , large lots, and another small apartment complex three r -. doors to the north. The property across the road to the East is poised to become a new single familyyest4, '' subdivision that will complement the new Clark County Middle School also getting underway. The Comprehensive Plan designates this as a mixed neighborhood which can include multi-family housing. Given all this, Staff feels that this rezoning could be seen as appropriate for the area. We do however, note that care should be taken to ensure that buffer requirements are met to not disturb existing single family properties. 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-25-17 to the Jeffersonville City Council with (insert recommendation]as presented to the Plan Commission on April 29, 2025. Page 1 of 10 PC-25-17 i 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 R3 (Single Family Residential — Small Lot). Adjoining , properties are zoned R3 to the North and South, >\\. West. District Intent: Existing The R3 (Single Family Residential — Small Lot) District `, ffik1 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. District Intent: Proposed 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. 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 Lentzier Hills District on the Planning Districts Map. The following is description of this Planning District from the Comprehensive Plan. Planning District 9: Lentzier Hills This District is comprised of residential developments set among the rolling hills above Lentzier Creek as well as a growing commercial center near the 1-265 and 10th Street and Highway 62 interchanges. Existing subdivisions in this area should be seen as stable while parcels along Highway 62, Utica- Sellersburg Road, and 1-265 may see further development and densification of uses. The following goals are established for the Lentzier Hills Planning District: • Focus new development around the 1-265 and Highway 62 interchange as well as the intersection of 1-265 and International Drive (Exit 11) interchange. New development should be a mix of commercial and residential in order to promote a broad mix of retail and service uses, medical offices, and restaurants. Commercial development should be tailored to a growing population of residents in this area and Planning Area 10 to the North Page 3 of 10 PC-25-17 • Create intentional transitions between higher intensity uses along primary road corridors and adjacent single-family neighborhoods. Transitions may be made through changes in elements such as building scale, increased setbacks for taller buildings, and landscaping enhancements • Ensure that any new homes or building additions within existing residential neighborhoods are appropriate in elements such as scale, form, and setbacks • Preserve and protect existing stream corridors from development. Utilize green corridors along these creeks for recreational use where possible Additional Notes • None Attachments 1. Current Zoning Layout 2. Proposed Zoning Layout 3. Preliminary Site Plan 4.
