Summary

The council voted on first reading to rezone 1938 East Jefferson Street from C-2 general commercial within the wellhead overlay to LI low-intensity industrial business park within the wellhead overlay at the request of the Hickman Family Trust to match adjacent parcels.

The Kokomo Common Council voted to pass on first reading Ordinance 72-03, rezoning property at 1938 East Jefferson Street from C-2 (medium to large-scale general commercial) in the wellhead overlay to LI (low-intensity industrial business park) in the wellhead overlay.

Councilman Grieco said the petition was filed by the Hickman Family Trust and Thomas Hickman to bring the parcel into conformity with the zoning of two parcels the owner holds directly north of the site. The property is located at the corner of East Jefferson and Chobe Pike.

Grieco moved for passage of Ordinance 72-03 on first reading; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. No public opposition or members of the public speaking on the record were recorded in the transcript regarding this item.

The change alters allowable land uses on the parcel under the wellhead protection overlay and aligns zoning across the owner's contiguous properties. The ordinance passed first reading; further readings or plan‑commission actions required by city zoning procedures may follow.

Meeting context: Ordinance 72-03 followed other economic development and right-of-way items during the meeting and was passed on first reading without recorded public comment.
