In order to make it "more ; ri r•� marketable" the applicant is proposing to rezone the :? ,4*" ' '* ,^- from NS to M2 to facilitate the future _-" property �ti- development of multi-family residential. There is no ,;, 4..� �.,, *lob,. --' �� specific plans for any project on this property as of . `;, - H t ;� this time. _ ' Staff Finding/Opinion fi . tt•t- • �.t As much as Staff is sometimes hesitant toward speculative rezoning, the proposal aligns with the Future Land Use Map and meets the goals set forth for the planning district in which the property is located. The proposed zoning district isn't dissimilar to other uses nearby on the corridor and is often seen as appropriate along an arterial street. Staff also notes that there will be limitations on development due to a large power line easement across the front of the property. Therefore the increased density afforded by the M2 zone district may make sense from a redevelopment standpoint. It does, however, hamper the potential for single-family or single-family attached development for which this property could be equally suited. It will be up to the Plan Commission to determine whether the M2 zone district makes sense or if it is better to keep the existing zoning and wait for a developer to make that determination. 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-25-30) to the Jeffersonville City Council with [insert recommendation] as presented to the Plan Commission on August 26, 2025. Page 1 of 10 PC-25-30 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 ;y" I 'r Intent °° ,, :i,./.., : a a Current Zoning 0 `4 0 it PO The subject property is shown in the zoning map i; ',� ,j to the right. The property is zoned NS (Insitutional Uses). Adjoining properties are zoned R1 (Single sir Family Residential — Large Lot) to the North, �� r West, and East, R3 (Single Family Residential — �``' Small Lot) to the South, and M1 (Multi-Family �":t Residential — Small Scale). ° n, District Intent: Existing �` ' : The "NS" (Institutional Uses) District is intended to I provide a land use category for institutionally '' °w owned lands, including state, county, and city - �. / AC facilities. The IS district is also intended for social service oriented uses, and similar non-profit or quasi-public institutions where the use is for public purpose and is anticipated to remain so permanently. The Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals should encourage institutional structures and uses to set a standard for development throughout the planning jurisdiction. 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 [insert district name(s)] 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 • Promote neighborhood-friendly development and densification along Veterans Parkway, Hamburg Pike and Woehrle Road corridors PC-25-30 Page 3 of 10 • 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 Additional Notes • None Attachments 1. Current Zoning Layout 2. Proposed Zoning Layout 3.

Sanders, Re: Little Flock Missionary Baptist Church— PE Zone Change to M-2 Vice President 3311 Holmans Lane Travis Andres. Ladies and Gentlemen, PE Principal Geotechnical Engineer This letter is to express the intent of my client,Little Flock Missionary Baptist Church,to seek a zone change for their 6.5958 Acre property located at 3311 Holmans Lane. William McDonough.EIT Per Indiana Code and the Jeffersonville UDO,certain criteria is to be considered for this Sr. Project Manager request. The following is a listing of the relevant criteria and an explanation as to how this project meets each one: J. Michael Rich, 1. The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the City of Jeffersonville PE, CPESC Comprehensive Plan: The location of this site is within the Mixed Neighborhood area of Sr. Project Manager the Future Land Use Map. Mixed Neighborhood description indicates that"Mixed neighborhoods are primarily residential in nature. They contain a mix of single and multi- L. Matthew Blake. family uses but also have other commercial,industrial,and institutional uses scattered PWS throughout." The site lies in close proximity to other M2 properties within the Holmans Director of Lane corridor and is unique in that it is subject to an LG&E power line easement which Ecological Services limits the total single-family density of the site. 2. The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the current conditions and Erik Merten character of current structures and uses in the area: The site lies in close proximity to Sr. Project Coordinator other M2 properties within the Holmans Lane corridor and is unique in that it is subject to an LG&E power line easement which limits the total single-family density of the site. Daniel Hartman, 3. The rezoning of the subject property is necessary for the most desirable use of the land. PE Project Manager Given the proximity to additional multi-family development,multi-family would be the most desirable use for the land. 4. The rezoning of the subject property will not be injurious to the value of other properties Chase Blakeman,FM-UAS in the area. With the close proximity of neighboring multi-family development and the Project Manager limited scale of M2 to a maximum of only 12 unit buildings,the scale of the project will be such that it will not injure adjacent properties. Paul Primavera, PE, PS President Emeritus Page lof2 301 E. Chestnut Street, Corydon, IN 47112 Phone: (812) 738-4124 • Fax: (812) 738-6740 Page 9 of 10 PC-25-30 r/ 5. The rezoning of the subject property will support responsible growth and development. The project is proposed in a growth corridor along Holmans Lane,meets the Comprehensive Plan,and will support the long term goal of housing growth and options within the City. Therefore,it supports responsible growth and development of the City. This is a quality project that lies within a growth area of the City of Jeffersonville. It will provide quality residences to the wider community. Sincerely, iiikk-- ,/ Jason M.Copperwaite,PE,PS, FAA-UAS JMC/ms Page 2 of 2 Page 10 of 10 PC-25-30
