Plans for a potential expansion of Zionsville Self Storage and a new automotive service business are moving forward.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Zionsville Town Council unanimously approved a rezoning for a vacant lot at 1580 W. Oak St. at its March 2 meeting.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Sam Scheidler, owner of Zionsville Self Storage, intends to expand his business, which is adjacent to the newly rezoned property. There are also plans for an auto service center on the other side of the 2.6-acre lot.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The rezoning request received a favorable recommendation from the Zionsville Plan Commission last month. Town council members also were receptive to the projects and the care that went into them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n For example, Scheidler reached out to adjacent businesses and neighbors, who wrote letters of recommendation. Efforts to reduce noise emitted from the auto service shop by using certain tools, keeping bay doors closed, adding insulation, and moving the facility farther south to give more space between it and residences to the north were also cited by the council.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis group has done a great job trying to make this fit within this area, which is a unique area with residential right behind it,\u201d said Council Member Craig Melton, who also serves on the plan commission.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The lot will be split into three sections. The center section\u2019s use \u2014 self storage will be on one end, the auto shop on the other \u2014 is to be determined. A stipulation in rezoning removes several uses for the parcel based on conversations with adjacent landowners.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Scheidler said the parcel will likely be more self-storage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
