Re:
March 16th Plan Commission meeting - Information packets
1.
Please find enclosed the information packets for the following items:
Item 7h. Docket No. 04010027 OA Patch IV
This ordinance amendment organizes the zoning ordinance by amending and repealing
items so that the ordinance flows better. Most of the amendments are corrective in
nature, with some of the highlights being: insertion of a sentence or choice words to
make a section of the ordinance more clear, deletion of words that may make the section
of the ordinance unclear, and the addition of landscape standards or ADLS (architecture,
design, lighting, signage) to certain sections of the ordinance. Enclosed is the draft
ordinance Z446-04.
Item 8h. Docket No. 04020030 Z OM-MU Rezones
The proposed zoning change to these 12 parcels is to allow a broader list of uses that can
be permitted in this area. This rezone is also in response to OM-MM (Old Meridian-
Mixed Medical) zoning to the north of this area and also a movement to perpetuate
further development on this stretch of Main Street.
Enclosed are:
1. The ordinance, tax parcel numbers affected, and location map
2. Excerpt from the Zoning Ordinance for the Old Meridian/Mixed-Use Zone
with Schedule of Uses table; and
3. Excerpt from the Comprehensive Plan -Old Meridian Task Force Report-
descriptions of each zone within the Old Meridian District.
If you have any questions, please give Jon Dobosiewicz or me a call at 571-2417.
