Town staff explained that Planning Commission Order 2025‑01 applies to the Padgett Commons EDA, which the Redevelopment Commission (RDC) created as an allocation area tied to tax-increment-financing (TIF) assistance for the Padgett Commons redevelopment. Staff said the RDC's declaratory resolution had pulled that ground out of an existing TIF area while continuing to pledge 50% of the revenue to repay prior commitments from the original TIF.

Planning Commission Order 2025‑02 consolidates several existing TIF districts and right-of-way areas near Interstate 65 to create a larger consolidated EDA that can use revenues from multiple districts to support development projects. Staff told commissioners the consolidation does not restart or extend the tax-capture timelines on existing districts; it only consolidates allocations for coordinated use of funds. The RDC had already approved the declaratory resolutions; the planning commission's role is to confirm consistency with the comprehensive plan.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about whether consolidation would reset TIF timelines; staff confirmed it would not. After discussion the commission approved each order on separate voice votes. Staff said the RDC previously approved the related declaratory resolutions at its April meeting and this step is required to move to the confirmatory hearing process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4-14-2025 Plan Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved two planning commission orders confirming that the Whitestown Redevelopment Commission's economic development areas — Padgett Commons EDA and a consolidated I‑65 EDA — are consistent with Whitestown's growth and development plans.","taxTitle","Town of Whitestown, Boone County, Indiana","taxId",52319,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":42,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6274662,"Plan Commission approves Chase Bank development plan near Lowe’s",3600000,4028000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2986796-e1d4dc71e175e5928e0be73cf3e10473&start=3600&end=4028","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2986796-e1d4dc71e175e5928e0be73cf3e10473/thumbnail_3600000.jpg","/articles/6274662/Town-of-Whitestown/Boone-County/Indiana/Plan-Commission-approves-Chase-Bank-development-plan-near-Lowes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274662-14df5032689058628cb5994f3e80d17d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770928695&Signature=j0jLjt2Nbg2HOozpEzcb5sdRtooOFNxh19Jxyfe5tPICJRhbgCX4eU3mHsdLEHcqqxs76MsYlmSE-Jn6oI9e-tAX0Bl-dZZT-GUy0YHxyfp4o7UtxLz2FgFb8Giw9dBv0Fk9~yg-q4MT-bH5sWv7uiBH16h5MSDrv2m9RCvZLYdhO4FnkYi2qzR~VCTcJkWhte7g9QNvoskeJbFlgqPe2IWsdKi5BESkYXVKZxyH0zeitPczxSoeM4ECvXB0MduxpFBGau-MKqfsgJJw2NBkBz0Wkuu-ZBosxGXlk2~bhiFKeeFF4BBPsynrmFXVJueXksqWZemIvoE8v2DzzTkIdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Whitestown Plan Commission approved a development plan for a Chase Bank location on the south side of Whitestown Parkway within the Lowe's outlot.

Chad Mays of Kimley‑Horn presented the plan and said the bank would be a 3,400-square-foot building on 1.42 acres at 6711 Whitestown Parkway with 22 parking spaces and an ATM pull-up on the west side. \"This is a Chase bank that's 3,400 square feet on 1.42 acres with 22 parking spots,\" Mays said during his presentation. He showed elevations and materials and noted the site orientation with Whitestown Parkway to the north and parking on the north, east and south sides.

Staff reviewed parking and circulation and reported that the plan meets Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) standards and aligns with the land‑use plan for commercial growth; staff recommended approval. Commissioners asked whether the site would include a teller-staffed branch; the petitioner did not provide staffing details during the hearing. The west elevation will host the ATM; there is no external drive-through window proposed.

The commission approved PC 25‑020‑DP for the Chase Bank development plan on a voice vote after a motion to approve \"based on the staff report and submitted findings of fact.\" The chair recorded the motion as passing with commissioners in attendance voting in favor.","The commission approved a 3,400-square-foot Chase Bank development plan within the Lowe’s Outlot at 6711 Whitestown Parkway; the site will have an external ATM and no drive-through window, with 22 parking spaces.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":42,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6274667,"Plan Commission approves Beckman Park southeast primary plat",3108000,3536000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2986796-e1d4dc71e175e5928e0be73cf3e10473&start=3108&end=3536","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2986796-e1d4dc71e175e5928e0be73cf3e10473/thumbnail_3108000.jpg","/articles/6274667/Town-of-Whitestown/Boone-County/Indiana/Plan-Commission-approves-Beckman-Park-southeast-primary-plat","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274667-290ad64a1b9bbd56be6430693d813372/orig.mp4?Expires=1770928695&Signature=m~zKlS9HjP45O6CaTN-uaEp-0zY54KIbO7N95wtAZ453trBhjalCOinD7DGjha4UUnLoqhanUKxPK4fMR~TNGPC3nBRYQDDqS6xEJLRI~QzTFXrVtFp0ft0EnB-xBAMbQR8TE~L84ZG7T~GTqfpHJU-HsNUI1GJqV~dU-ph9NulAxh7je4YpegqFoq6xnMOlJTPNuAgbAnvmFgOq0uX~0w3FIGnGbqqarHHD8zgwToPa3383TwetF7sbKYmjOjA8FiymEa~M4xq6tAK5DIcl~yi~i2SHO1ZUqcsGHYacAQrd9uoNRQMcnc3n3n9KtJeWrrklK-X2Vd5cBHshlqwphw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Whitestown Plan Commission approved the primary plat for the southeast portion of Beckman Park, a residential section of a larger mixed-use planned-unit development (PUD).

Kimley‑Horn engineer Bridal Huff and developer Adam Braun said the primary plat covers a portion of the previously approved Beckman Park PUD and includes a mix of single-family lot sizes — 75-foot, 65-foot, 50-foot and 40-foot rear-load lots — across the section. Adam Braun said Hallmark Homes will be one confirmed builder for the section and the project is intended as semi-custom home construction.

Staff reviewed the application and recommended approval, stating the primary plat complies with UDO section 9.2 and aligns with the comprehensive plan's residential designation. Commissioners asked questions about lot sizes and buffers along Sienna Way; staff confirmed the larger lots are along the northern buffer and Hallmark Homes will build in the section. The commission approved the primary plat on a voice vote; seven commissioners were present at roll call.

With the approval, the developer may proceed with subsequent subdivision and construction steps identified in the PUD schedule and the town's subdivision regulations.","The commission approved the primary plat for the southeast section of Beckman Park, a larger mixed-use PUD that will include single-family lots of varied widths, and staff said the plat aligns with the approved PUD and comprehensive plan.",{"_33":98,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":99,"_41":100,"_43":101,"_45":102,"_47":103,"_49":104,"_51":105,"_53":106,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":107,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":108,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6274672,"Plan Commission continues Ray Skillman preliminary plat and approves Kia, Hyundai development plans",1990,945000,2935000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2986796-e1d4dc71e175e5928e0be73cf3e10473&start=945&end=2935","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2986796-e1d4dc71e175e5928e0be73cf3e10473/thumbnail_945000.jpg","/articles/6274672/Town-of-Whitestown/Boone-County/Indiana/Plan-Commission-continues-Ray-Skillman-preliminary-plat-and-approves-Kia-Hyundai-development-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274672-ec92ec8e07c3deefd99f44cebb8e99dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770928695&Signature=OePXO~jSYFZ9oMHEC2BgCrMs0dzM4M6D5ia2onuRwz89nVpbrjoV4EbTep8MzS96SHuQRwumOJ18cBp~XH~23lR6xxxPRr0PRsrrGC7BmRuYUYShEcyVHE94II8NjBxMuDPNjsepTEZL0Yo7yPQljWHtJnHcyDhpSdhD79cC7tDJ5cJ~oATN4wIK9PNKyFPnPIrvvIp8sSNpZpcsRLIzJvnY3ZNExFzDOJRWW1TVVshuDl8~r~7~pq4f8AoQH7X6NGEWhSy-151vh2Y9hSRXs6cJpcDrlF~PYZM~EzqYlcX7wzdDXBcNrjxKNqR8z3ty-m1oOtxu7GD3mmKzUgDuPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Whitestown Plan Commission on the same night continued the Ray Skillman preliminary plat to the next meeting but approved detailed development plans for both a Ray Skillman Kia and a Ray Skillman Hyundai dealership on a site adjacent to Indianapolis Road and Whitestown Parkway.

Adam Dehart, project manager with Keilar Webb Associates, told the commission the project will occupy approximately 32 acres on the south portion of a cultivated field, with Lot 1 for the Hyundai dealership, Lot 2 a stormwater-detention pond to serve both dealerships, and Lot 3 for the Kia dealership. Dehart said the two dealership buildings will each be roughly 30,000–31,000 square feet, with showroom, mechanical repair bays for non-body work and customer parking. \"We are not gonna be doing, any planned body shop work at this facility,\" Dehart said.

Dehart said the project includes construction of a new road (Ray Skillman Way) across the project frontage and upgrading Indianapolis Road where the site intersects it. He described design elements such as added lane width, a passing blister, and compliance with Whitestown and NDOT standards and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The team said construction plans include notes limiting disruptive work on Sundays to avoid conflict with Traders Point Christian Church.

A resident, Kevin Russell of 6123 Golden Eagle Drive, told the commission he supports the dealership as a use for the property but urged road improvements on Indianapolis Road and asked the town and developers to help any existing local auto-service business that might be affected. Russell had earlier spoken during public comment about broader congestion around Indianapolis Road and Cardinal Estates, saying: \"If it cannot be improved with a roundabout, then a traffic light will need to be put there at the minimum.\"

Town staff reported that a primary-plat staff report was not available in the packet for the preliminary plat, so the commission voted to continue the preliminary plat (PC 25-017-PP) to the next meeting to allow staff review. The commission then voted to approve the Ray Skillman Kia development plan (PC 25-015-DP) and the Ray Skillman Hyundai development plan (PC 25-016-DP) \"based on the staff report and staff recommendations and the submitted findings of fact.\" The chair recorded the motions as approved on voice vote; seven commissioners had been present at roll call.

During discussion commissioners and staff emphasized that the town's engineering standards and the MUTCD guided traffic improvements; staff said a center turn lane was considered but had not been identified as required by the traffic studies submitted for this project. Staff and the petitioner said the design meets Whitestown specifications. The petitioners estimated construction could start within a month after final approvals and permitting and said both dealerships could be open to sell vehicles within about 12–13 months.

The commission required no additional conditions beyond staff recommendations and continued the preliminary plat to allow staff to provide a missing primary-plat report before the commission takes final action on that item.","Commissioners continued the Ray Skillman preliminary plat to the next meeting but approved detailed development plans for separate Kia and Hyundai dealerships on a roughly 32-acre site; petitioners described road improvements and mitigations and residents raised traffic concerns for Indianapolis Road.",{"_33":110,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":111,"_41":112,"_43":113,"_45":114,"_47":115,"_49":116,"_51":117,"_53":118,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":119,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":120,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6274677,"Plan Commission approves TownePlace Suites primary plat and concept plan",730,70000,800000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2986796-e1d4dc71e175e5928e0be73cf3e10473&start=70&end=800","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2986796-e1d4dc71e175e5928e0be73cf3e10473/thumbnail_70000.jpg","/articles/6274677/Town-of-Whitestown/Boone-County/Indiana/Plan-Commission-approves-TownePlace-Suites-primary-plat-and-concept-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274677-4c7aed6e5dd39681c1a84b2b7d774ea9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770928695&Signature=Xr30s7zprsuQzHB6wSSG8gFrW2GjMAzC28C0tHBs3Iuu5iQFDUZ~4B4IzsthtbbP3v-UPxLAHuzCRYM7QpPuaWm1uje3~5AnSp-R984kSUQsM2evzSiG1cxzNsyu6Wf32tSN51KaCl-RnTzDE3uGCKDyquZRCGtN1IDlh19w2hmG6d0eqXIBrk8MK26Y2oTGfaitNF2kk7wR0IQhMHmP71LsgdxHfZRHMRVVjXEe~eNzoadOQIPIjMhPQaClRX6Yu-pi-3mHWrSUWDPqtr10yLNoBaZMmmV0p5d4Ze8EBrTgLzy7eF-djqPCSJtS62T2wDkFlVN8AD0i0cuXF-PTbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Whitestown Plan Commission voted to approve a primary plat and a concept plan for a dual-brand TownePlace Suites and SpringHill Suites hotel at the corner of Perryworth Road and Junior's Way.

The project petitioners said the request would subdivide an existing four-plus-acre parcel into a 3.2-acre lot and a 1.43-acre lot and allow a roughly 20,000-square-foot hotel with approximately 36 rooms and entrances from both Junior's Way and Perryworth Road. Rusty Spires, with Spires Engineering representing Jai Preet Investment Corp., told the commission: \"Our request is for you to approve us to process, the dividing of the the the MS Lot 3 plat to create a parcel for a new TownePlace Suites and Spring Hill Suites dual brand hotel, and to approve our concept plan.\"

Staff told commissioners the concept plan and primary plat were consistent with the comprehensive plan and recommended approval. Commissioners asked about a height variance that is before the Board of Zoning Appeals; staff said the variance affects building height only and, if denied, the petitioner would need to amend the development plan. At one point commissioners estimated the proposed hotel would be about five stories, roughly \"60 to 70 feet\" depending on measurement.

The commission approved the primary plat and, in a separate motion, approved the concept plan \"based on the staff report and recommendations and submitted findings of fact.\" Both motions passed on voice votes recorded by the chair as in favor; seven commissioners had been present for roll call.

Commissioners did not require additional conditions beyond the staff recommendations. The petitioner said a development plan will be submitted to the commission at a later meeting once details — including the height variance outcome — are finalized.

The approval clears the project to move to the development-plan stage, with the variance and final, detailed plans to be resolved in subsequent review steps.","The Whitestown Plan Commission approved a primary plat to divide an existing parcel and a concept plan for a dual-brand TownePlace Suites / SpringHill Suites hotel; a separate height variance is pending before the Board of Zoning Appeals.","actionData","errors"]
