comer of East 96th Street and the CarmeVClay Monon Greenway. The site is zoned R-

Foundation.
General Comments:
The Department can find no reference in past meeting minutes, including motions and
commitments concerning the future limitations on the use of real estate as part of the approved
Five Seasons Special Use. We have also looked within correspondence in the file and can not find
evidence that would lead Staff to believe that the applicant is not in good standing regarding the
filing of this petition. We can confirm that the applicant has filed an application requesting the
rezone of a portion of the real estate, which at the time of approval was included in the real estate
proposed for Five Seasons.
With all due respect the Department would like the committee to consider the merits of the
petition that is presented before them for consideration. With respect to the petition, the
Department advises the committee to review among other things the following
observations/characteristics in making a determination of how to this item should be forwarded to
the City Council:
1. This proposal on the surface is not consistent with the 1997 Land Use Map. However, the
Department feels that it meets the fundamental goals of the Comprehensive Plan
guidelines. When viewed within the context of its surroundings we see that it may be
viewed in that regard. As can be seen from the photos provided in the petitioners booklet
of information, tab three, the site is bordered by 1-465 to the north the existing Five
Seasons to the west, a large amount of right-of-way and the Monon Trail to the east and
Multi-family development to the south.
2. The fundamental tenets of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan identify this area as being
adjacent to the area for special study surrounding the Westfield Boulevard and 96th Street
intersection. To the west are existing and proposed high intensity Regional Community
Employment areas represented by the Parkwood development and the site of the proposed
College Hills petition. As the applicant has indicated in their statement of compliance with
the Comprehensive Plan found in tab one of their booklet the proposed use fits well within
the context of the site and is defined as a low-intensity commercial use by the plan.
