Parking ordinance approved: The council passed Ordinance No. 17 86 20 25 (Title 10, Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 10.25, Parking) on its third reading by voice vote with no opposition. The ordinance amends the city’s parking code; the meeting record shows an aye voice vote and no recorded opposing votes.

Zoning change for parcels south of U.S. 20: The council also moved to adopt a zoning map amendment affecting parcels south of U.S. 20, east of County Road 69 (identified in the meeting as an effort to align zoning for a vacant lot with an adjacent storage facility). Meeting participants said the request would change the zoning designation from HC (heavy commercial) to I-1 (light industrial) so parcels would share the same district; council adopted the proposed change by voice vote with no opposition. Staff and a commenter, Mark Cockcroft, said self-storage units are approved uses in both HC and I-1 zones.

Street-name ordinance on first review: Ordinance No. 17 89 20 25, amending Title 10.15 (Traffic—Stop intersections) to change a street name to Richard Hickman Way, was presented for first review; the meeting record shows it was introduced and taken under first review but not adopted at the Sept. 15 session.

Façade grant approved: The council approved a façade grant agreement with Piazza Properties Inc. for property at 101 West Maumee Street in an amount not to exceed $10,000. The grant request was moved and seconded; the council approved it by voice vote, with no opposing votes recorded.

Accounts payable allowed: The council voted to allow payment of accounts payable vouchers numbered 76160 through 76376 totaling $1,007,142.16; the package included interfund transfers totaling $114,265. The motion to allow payment carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

Budget schedule: City finance staff reported the proposed budget had been submitted to the state gateway and advertised as required. The council set a public hearing and first reading for Oct. 6, with second and third readings and final adoption scheduled for Oct. 20, and members emphasized the need for a quorum at those meetings.

Other routine reports included an update that the Community Crossings road projects remain on schedule, and that construction on Brookhagen was expected to start in October with multiple crews assigned to different portions of the project.

All roll-call attendance and voice votes in these items were recorded as unanimous 'aye' in the meeting transcript; no individual roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript for each motion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025.09.15 Angola Common Council","oneSentenceSummary","At its Sept. 15 meeting the Angola City Common Council approved a parking ordinance on third reading, adopted zoning changes for parcels near US 20, approved a $10,000 façade grant to Piazza Properties and allowed $1,007,142.16 in accounts payable; the council set a public hearing on the proposed budget for Oct. 6.","taxTitle","Angola City, Steuben County, Indiana","taxId",52121,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468697,"Angola council approves rezoning to allow apartment in former church at 1207 S.

Wayne St. to be converted to a three-bedroom, one-bath apartment.

The change was approved by voice vote after a motion to adopt the proposed zoning change; no council member registered opposition. The council conducted the action during its regular meeting after the applicant’s representative described plans for the building and parking.

The applicant’s representative, identified in the meeting as Mr. Zank, said the conversion will keep the building’s existing footprint and “gutted inside” to create a single-family dwelling unit with a separate entrance on the south side. He said the sanctuary area will be repurposed to provide 10 parking stalls. “They are simply going to diminish. . . . The membership now is down to about 7 parishioners total,” Zank said, explaining why the congregation was selling the property.

Council members noted that the council is not required to hold a public hearing for a rezoning but that the body typically allows public comment. The council’s approval of the rezoning does not resolve all required reviews: Zank and the council said the proposed first-floor residential use must still be considered by the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance because first-floor residential is not allowed in the neighborhood commercial zone. That variance hearing is scheduled for next Monday, and the variance had not been approved as of the Sept. 15 meeting.

The council’s action reclassifies the parcel under the city’s zoning map to permit the planned residential conversion. No conditions or amendments to the motion were recorded in the meeting minutes.

With housing cited as one objective for the neighborhood, council members repeated that the council sought uses compatible with the surrounding area. The applicant representative said the owners do not plan to change the building footprint or add new structures.

The council’s approval completes the city-level rezoning step but leaves the BZA variance and any building-permit reviews to determine the project’s final scope.

The council also discussed other matters on the Sept. 15 agenda, including budget scheduling and other ordinances.","The Angola City Common Council voted to adopt a zoning change allowing a three-bedroom apartment to be created inside a former church at 1207 South Wayne Street; a separate variance for first-floor residential remains pending before the Board of Zoning Appeals.","actionData","errors"]
