Lauren Gillingham Teague of the Community Development Department told the council staff discovered that the published ordinance included standalone multifamily even though meeting discussion and supporting documents indicated that standalone multifamily was not intended to be permitted. Teague said the resolution before the council corrects the error and is eligible for adoption that evening.

A member of the city legal department noted the correction was clearly a scrivener’s error when compared with the record materials, that the legal team reviewed the change, and that the department colleague Nicole Buskull had worked on the community development planning and zoning work related to this item.

Councilor Victor McCarty moved to approve resolution 25-1-37, which Councilor John Dart seconded. The motion passed on a 6-0 roll-call vote.

Ryan Collingwood of the Community Development Department briefed the council on the amendment, saying the subject parcel is about 11.7 acres west of Grand Park Boulevard and roughly 1,000 feet north of the intersection of 181st Street and Grand Park Boulevard. Collingwood said the amendment is specific to the headquarters site and is being introduced to the council for first reading; it is scheduled for a public hearing before the Advisory Plan Commission in July.

Representatives of the petitioner — Collingwood identified Veritas Advisors and Dubery Architects as the petitioner team — were present for first reading. City staff and the petitioner indicated they were available for questions, but the council did not hold a public hearing during the meeting and took no action beyond first reading.

Collingwood said the Wheeler Landing PUD was originally established by ordinance 18‑O‑4 in 2018 and that the amendment is limited to architectural and sign-character exhibits for the police headquarters site. The council expects the item to return following APC review.","The council introduced an amendment to the Wheeler Landing PUD that adds architectural elevations and sign exhibits for a parcel the city intends to use for a new police department headquarters; the item was given first reading and is slated for Advisory Plan Commission review.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188151,"Developers outline planned 125-home PUD at 190th and Monon; councilers raise trail and density concerns",1201,1045300,2247125,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064103-5ae718c4582b09bba9ae95de101f4e1c&start=1045&end=2247","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064103-5ae718c4582b09bba9ae95de101f4e1c/thumbnail_1045300.jpg","/articles/6188151/Westfield/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Developers-outline-planned-125-home-PUD-at-190th-and-Monon-councilers-raise-trail-and-density-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188151-626f316005aaf9c98786b68d403ed868/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178619&Signature=bb61btbhjAPRJMEwnwXqZjgtK~X2xqDcjNUjuxdMgOBPKJXey-71Neq1vFg6DbLkh9vD~EmoRiA2Hd7aWa5ZlGvECfVvqgzxN-mhUPd39WP9YJhY8HPtGuAQPEuC96oCupwGoKDOplb65tuql1xkS6ICSlzCjValFGl~b11d-x6bTpgm7OnHN2UP8tOlpV3xj6RS8T1TnMy8S3Ps9D48-b6MSNhlqB0daarFmGZyjNeR6Z3X3OPnAU6Y~zTl~MLixFk1Qd2Ff~Qinq0AgF1s5ar2tM70Rez4olN0DamdFJuRHd7SWnCmY~nEWWbXTwEFi2O5UnoAMwfJ0chPnypglA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Onyx and East presented a proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) for approximately 39–40 acres at 190th Street and the Monon Trail that would allow up to 125 single-family detached homes, varied lot types and a new “cluster courtyard” housing type intended to create a pedestrian-scaled frontage on the trail.

Dane Crabtree of the Community Development Department introduced the item as a change in zoning request to permit a single-family detached PUD known as “190th and Monon” on land currently zoned AG-SF1 (agriculture/single-family rural). He noted the site lies in an area designated New Suburban in the comprehensive plan and that the item is scheduled for a public hearing before the Advisory Plan Commission in July.

Jake Dietrich, vice president of acquisition and development for Onyx and East, described design choices the developer said were intended to respect Monon Trail frontage and adjacent neighborhoods. Dietrich said the plan proposes three lot types (65-foot, 54-foot and courtyard lots), roughly 9.5 acres of open space, public streets, at least one direct connection to the Monon Trail and a primary entry green over an acre in size. He presented renderings showing four-sided architecture facing the trail and a new “cluster courtyard” product with a shared green and dual front-yard orientation.

Councilors asked several questions about trail access, parking and buffering. Councilor Chad Huff asked whether the proposed trail access point would include car parking; Dietrich and staff said the design includes standard on-street parking and dedicated golf-cart parking at the identified access, and is not intended to be a large off-street trailhead. Public-works Director John Nail said the city will soon make resurfacing improvements to 190th Street and that Hamilton County will participate on the county-owned portion.

Several councilors referenced online petitions and neighborhood concerns about density and compatibility with nearby Chatham Hills. Dietrich said the plan places larger lots along the west side to buffer existing single-family homes and that the trail-facing lots would retain tree cover and scrub to preserve the trail experience. He said the proposed trail-fronting lots would not have private, direct trail access from individual backyards. Councilors suggested the highest-priced homes would likely be those adjacent to the trail and that market forces may push premium home product to trail-fronting lots.

The council did not act on the rezoning; staff and the petitioner were instructed to proceed to the Advisory Plan Commission for public hearing and further review.","Onyx and East presented a proposed 39–40 acre Planned Unit Development at 190th Street and the Monon Trail proposing up to 125 homes with new design elements; councilors and staff discussed trail access, lot types, and neighborhood compatibility ahead of the advisory plan commission review.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188156,"Council approves tax-abatement framework for Veekin North America headquarters",682,340975,1023815,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064103-5ae718c4582b09bba9ae95de101f4e1c&start=340&end=1023","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064103-5ae718c4582b09bba9ae95de101f4e1c/thumbnail_340975.jpg","/articles/6188156/Westfield/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Council-approves-tax-abatement-framework-for-Veekin-North-America-headquarters","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188156-c6aecfacc58d2b0ba2eb59491bb7bb9a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178619&Signature=FuRG-in4XUFrypvEs8W7-UfwXVsHGDgFLRZQu5li6v9-0zmMQCTUfwXFhTqii0ADTMXTe7X4FHb7xGb4rABq~cRPGw9TdQy0gVAKajv2jA9Os-Mec2LTe5Ccp5QWdj4YiH29loEfSG2PH9ljAIZzb9GKfS3YseWyZvgsqhkA2DP~3-uaS4AZhvQJO1gvnbIz3jdgp9M6QGvMZ6daEjnuwTc9qVv2bwS~n~sANaS3E-XIBADs~QXiSngu6SGvf5Z33N4Dv7~BKgsw2U7XRGFizwSdltDwR9siP0y5~HlhxCxnOPe1BKaM4hbUwHbOoQw1mC8-Qyvo7ccR03JFgZD32w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Westfield Common Council voted 6-0 to adopt a real-property tax-abatement resolution recommended for Veekin North America’s planned North American headquarters and distribution facility, an industrial project city staff said will generate new assessed value and jobs on a 16-acre parcel.

Claire Jelenas, economic development strategist for the City of Westfield, presented the recommendation and described the proposed development as an 80,000-square-foot headquarters and warehouse on a 16-acre parcel. Jelenas said the company estimates capital investment of “a little over $11,000,000” and projected assessed value when complete of about $6,100,000. She summarized the staff-recommended abatement as a front-loaded, step-down schedule designed to offset upfront costs including annexation, rezone, utility extensions and construction.

Robin North, executive vice president for Veekin North America, introduced the company and said Veekin is a supplier of sanitation and material-handling tools for the food-processing and hygiene-critical industries; he said the parent company is based in Denmark and that the parent is largely owned by a family foundation. North said Veekin’s North American operations currently employ about 55 people and that the new Westfield facility would consolidate operations and house warehouse and office space. He described planned facility sizing as “a 70,000-square-foot warehouse plus a 10,000-square-foot office” with approximately 20 to 25 office employees and another 20 to 25 warehouse employees during a single daytime shift.

Councilor Noah Herron moved to adopt resolution 25-1-34; Councilor Chad Huff seconded. The motion carried on a roll-call vote of six yes and zero no. City staff noted the resolution requires the company to complete construction within three years of incentive approval or renegotiate terms.

Jelenas said the abatement phases only the improvements (the new building), while land-value taxes continue to be captured by existing taxing units. She cautioned the numbers shown were based on current assessed values and tax rates, which may change. No further conditions or changes to the abatement schedule were approved at the meeting; any future changes would require additional council action.","The council approved a real-property tax-abatement resolution for Veekin North America's planned 80,000-square-foot North American headquarters in Westfield, including an abatement schedule staff described as front-loaded to offset developer costs.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188161,"Council approves expansion of Northpointe Business Park economic revitalization area",119,208355,327980,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064103-5ae718c4582b09bba9ae95de101f4e1c&start=208&end=327","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064103-5ae718c4582b09bba9ae95de101f4e1c/thumbnail_208355.jpg","/articles/6188161/Westfield/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Council-approves-expansion-of-Northpointe-Business-Park-economic-revitalization-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188161-6b59ca324e2e08577a7cec5f51ced926/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178619&Signature=Z7kKVUsOX3dAmGAOGkOeGo68SAelzJIJxivndeTEg~THvkiu1rTbdtFD~Af~3tSYI4J5E61pRLsNjjiCeDPJjdi4Nd0sg2DtJOX8pRT4eZqIFEmzOh~4gcHv9S9GR8Gp9wF~Q-Naa8F8lfk-micvrjigiGTf9kzMJISOWy3FIcAU~T-Upxj-FKWYWpkWvXXKuo0iP7ht0O93GLji5F5dmjMMSwHrNkYCEEud4f8gLSoL~vpQDJqk7lU09OO5npNh6xqaotS7bGz20od8NIBXn4W3tD5Gv87DZdYcUqUj8TipaLRtalQnZRPFdBN1HgALIAjEN6GeWvEaxEVwr~m30Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Westfield Common Council on a 6-0 vote adopted a confirmatory resolution to expand the Northpointe Business Park economic revitalization area, a move city staff said will allow the council to consider tax-abatement incentives for future industrial development on the newly included parcel.

Claire Jelenas, economic development strategist for the City of Westfield, told the council the item before them was a “confirmatory resolution to expand the Northpointe Business Park economic revitalization area,” and that the expansion simply “tees up industrial properties for that type of development and investment.”

The expansion adds a parcel shown in the meeting map (the existing ERA shown in green and the requested parcel in yellow). Jelenas said the ERA is an economic development tool that lets the city consider, but does not guarantee, tax abatements for eligible projects. She described the action as the final step in a process that included a public hearing.

Council President Patrick Tam opened and closed the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. and then called for a motion. Councilor John Dart moved to approve resolution 25-1-33; the motion was seconded by Councilor Chad Huff. The roll-call vote recorded six yes votes and no noes; the motion carried 6-0.

No changes to tax rates or abatements were approved by the council at the meeting; Jelenas and staff said future abatement decisions would be handled case by case if and when developers apply for incentives.

The adoption finalizes the ERA boundary change; further incentive approvals would require separate council actions and, where applicable, conditions negotiated with developers.","The Westfield Common Council unanimously adopted a resolution expanding the Northpointe Business Park economic revitalization area, allowing the city to consider future property tax abatement for industrial development on the newly included parcel.","actionData","errors"]
