Council rezones former industrial site on North Green River Road for medical office use
Summary
Ordinance R-20-24-28 passed unanimously to rezone 1501 North Green River Road from M-2 to M-1, clearing the way for Maxim Healthcare to occupy a vacant building as an administrative/medical office.
The Evansville Common Council on Aug. 26 unanimously adopted Ordinance R-20-24-28 to rezone 1501 North Green River Road from M-2 (general industrial) to M-1 (light industrial) to allow conversion of a vacant building to a professional/medical office for Maxim Healthcare.
Area Plan Commission staff presented background showing the block contains mixed industrial, commercial and service uses and that the 2035 future land-use map recommends commercial use. The applicant’s representative, Laura Scott, told council the site has been vacant for about two years and that Maxim Healthcare would use the space for its Indiana regional administrative office with roughly 10 on-site employees; Maxim representatives attended the meeting and were available to answer questions.
The APC recommended approval by a 9-0 vote. Council members said they had heard no public opposition. After a brief statement from Laura Scott, Councilman Trotman moved adoption and the measure passed on a unanimous roll call.
The rezoning changes the allowable uses to permit the proposed professional office; the applicant said no exterior changes are planned at the time of the rezoning. Final occupancy and operational details will follow normal permitting and business-licensing procedures.
