So we'll go ahead and start with our first old business.

Item A, second reading of an ordinance entitled ordinance number 2026, an ordinance amending the official zoning map of Columbus, Indiana, rezoning the subject property from RMC residential multifamily with commitments to RS4C residential single family floor with commitments.

Chase Point rezoning, Melissa Bagley.

We got something else.

Hi, um so yeah, this is our second reading for the Chase Point uh rezoning.

Um I have uh an abbreviated presentation today um since we did go over it a little bit in more depth last meeting.

So the property uh that is being rezoned is there outlined in yellow.

It was previously rezoned to RM residential multifamily, and they are changing it to RS4, which matches the zoning to the property they're also involved with to the north there we go.

Um just briefly, our comprehensive future land use map identifies this area as agriculture, and looking a little closer again.

This was a slide I showed last time that shows the topography on the site.

You can see that those houses to the south are sort of surrounded by the development, um, but there is quite a bit of topography on this site that kind of adds some additional challenges, and here are your zoning decision criteria, and I can answer any questions, additional questions.

Um just to clarify everybody this site does not have any direct access off of highway 46.

Is that correct?

Correct, they are not proposing any access.

So the only two access is to from this site to all the rest of the sites would be off of 500 West in Belmont.

Correct.

Thanks.

Is there anyone here from uh public that would like to comment on this topic?

I guess someone's calling in.

Seeing that we have none, I'll close public comment.

Council back to you.

I would you like to proceed on the second reading of the Chase Point rezoning comment?

It's not like a reading in place of proper channel.

Second great uh Elaine Helper.

I Frank Miller, I voice, Josh Burnett, Tom Dell.

Grace Kessler, abstain.

Second reading passes six to zero, one abstains.

Thank you.

Yeah, thank you.

Item B, second reading of an ordinance entitled ordinance number 2026.

An ordinance amending the official zoning map of Columbus, Indiana, rezoning the subject property from CN commercial neighborhood to RE residential established 10th and Lafayette rezoning.

Okay, again, um a little bit abbreviated from from last meeting.

Um this was the city initiated annexation or rezoning that we put forward um to re zone the parcels in the yellow boxes from CN to RE.

We determined that those properties were all being used and had been used for single family residential for quite some time, and so having that CN zoning district really kind of added a layer of of complication to those sites when they want to make changes to their residence.

So again, we did leave a few of those other properties as CN because those are either could be developed.

Um there's some vacant parcels there, or are currently being used for resident or for commercial.

Um again, comprehensive future land use map looks at this area generally as residential.

And again, some photos.

This is looking across from Swanzig at some of the parts, some of the houses to be rezoned to residential.

And then those parcels to be rezoned as well.

And I can answer any questions.

I I don't know that we have any um forthcoming.

There probably are some other areas that we could look into that none that are kind of you've had some industrial that has changed and moved around.

I didn't know if there was parcels that'll be popping back up from not that I'm aware of at this point.

Thank you.

Anything else, Council?

Anyone that that would like to speak on this topic.

Seeing none, we'll close the public comment.

And council back to you, how would you like to proceed on the second reading of the template?

Yeah, resuming.

I'll make a motion to pass this on the second reading.

I'll second Hilbert.

Hi.
