Bryant Street. The current zoning is NS (Institutional Uses); the proposed zoning is M2 (Multi-Family Residential— Medium Scale). The Docket Number is PC-25-36. Jon McCoy of JLM Engineering and Micah Porter, the property owner, were present. Mr. McCoy said they would like to rezone the property to allow for a 15 unit apartment building. He said Mr. Porter owns the Springhill Apartments at 1420 Spring Street which is adjacent to this property. He said the preliminary site plan would meet the UDO's regulations and would meet the architectural standards of the Downtown Design Overlay District, all of which would be worked out when they submit their Development Plan. He said that they would be adding sidewalks along 15' Street to provide pedestrian access to Lansden Park. Mr. Reischl said that this property has been long vacant and wasn't sure why it was currently zoned NS and that it may have been owned by a church at one time. He said the NS does not 1 allow for much development and that the M2 district would be appropriate given the other apartments and commercial properties in the area. Open Public Comment No comment.

PC-25-37 Secondary Plat J&H Development, LLC filed a Secondary Plat application for the property located at 5003 and 5005 Charlestown Pike. The application is for a 56-lot single-family residential subdivision (Legacy Farms, Section 1). The current zoning is R3 (Single Family Residential—Small Lot). The Docket Number is PC-25-37. Jason Copperwaite with Paul Primavera and Associates stated that the Preliminary Plat for Legacy Farms had been approved by the Plan Commission last year and that some changes had been made since then. They had reduced the number of lots from 192 lots to 180 lots, moved an entrance on Charlestown Pike which will still line up with Kings Crossing across Charlestown Pike, expanded the main entrance's right-of-way to 70 feet to allow for a tree-lined boulevard to be created, and added a round-about for a marquee feature. He said typically Secondary Plats are approved by Staff, but because of the changes, it had to have the Commission's approval but that the plat still meets the standards of the UDO. Mr. Reischl said that while there were significant changes, the changes still meet the code and are overall good. Open Public Comment No comment. Close Public Comment Mr. Avery made a motion to approve the Secondary Plat, seconded by Mr. Schmidt. Roll call vote. Motion passed 4-0. Administrative Review Update None Report from Director's and Staff None Adjournment There being no further business to come before the Plan Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 5:42 pm.
