The Zionsville Plan Commission approved rezoning for a parcel of land on Oak Street for a storage facility expansion and auto shop at its Jan. 20 meeting.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Sam Scheidler, owner of Zionsville Self Storage, wants to expand his business, using an adjacent vacant lot at 1580 W. Oak St. The 2.6-acre lot also is eyed for a potential automotive service facility that would be on the opposite side of the property.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The proposed auto business drew deliberations from the commission, specifically over noise as the parcel abuts against a neighborhood to the north. Plans call for all auto work to be done with the bay doors closed. The tools that will be used will emit limited noise, and the location of the business was also shifted south to give more space between it and residents to the north.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Scheidler spoke with adjacent businesses and some neighbors who submitted letters of support.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s not very many times I can stand in front of you, and you have a business use that is adjoined by residences \u2026 that support this project,\u201d said attorney Jeff Jacob, who represented Scheidler.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The commission voted to rezone the parcel from urban neighborhood business to urban outdoor business. A plat approval and development plans will need commission approval before the project begins.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In other business from the meeting, a planned unit development for Woodland Grove, a 51-acre mixed use subdivision at 2475 U.S. 421 was continued.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The development calls for a series of townhomes, single-family homes, a wildlife preservation district with walking trail and commercial buildings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The PUD was continued as the town is in between comprehensive plans. The new proposed plan \u2014 discussed and continued at the town council\u2019s February meeting \u2014 splits the parcel\u2019s land use.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
