PC-25-22 Rezoning
Cora Dennis filed a Rezoning application for the property located at 2203 Allison Lane. The
current zoning is R1 (Single Family Residential— Large Lot); the proposed zoning is CN
(Commercial - Neighborhood). The Docket Number is PC-25-29.
Cora Dennis of 9007 Winsor Drive in Sellersburg said she is seeking a rezoning to commercial
to allow more opportunities for development. She said that there is already a lot of commercial
properties along Allison Lane and that it would make sense for this property to be commercially
zoned. She said there are already a number commercial properties directly adjacent to the
property.
Mr. Shaughnessy said the applicants came to Planning and Zoning wanting to rezone to
commercial but did not have a specific zone district in mind. He said that after consulting the
Comprehensive Plan which talks about stepping down intensity of commercial development
away from 10th Street, the CN district was landed on as it allows for commercial uses that blend
in with some of the residentially zoned properties in the area. He said that Staff thinks this
rezoning makes sense.

Administrative Review Update
Mr. Shaughnessy said that they had approved the following projects in-house over the past couple
of months:
- A new Engineering firm on Water's Edge Drive in the North Port
- An expansion of 700 Port Road in the Port of Indiana
- The new River Ridge Middle School
- Swig
- A Secondary Plat for the remainder of Stacy Springs
- A minor amendment to the Ellingsworth Planned Development
Mr. Webb asked if there was any word about the development planned across from Harbor and
Hops which Mr. Shaughnessy said that surprisingly there had not been any movement on that
project. Mr. McCutcheon asked about land that was being cleared at the corner of Holmans Lane
and Veterans Parkway which Mr. Shaughnessy said was part of an approved apartment complex.
Mr. Burns asked if there had been any developments submitted for the property behind the Circle
K at the corner of Veterans Parkway and Hamburg Pike which Mr. Shaughnessy said the only
thing they had received was a Special Exception request for an auto body repair shop which
would be going to the BZA next month for a Special Exception but that use would not take up the
entirety of that site.
