Plan Commission recommends LEAP annexations (phases 36–43) to council, consolidating unannexed parcels
Summary
The Plan Commission recommended that nine voluntary annexation petitions covering LEAP District phases 36–43 be forwarded to the Common Council with LEAP district zoning; the petitions fill previously unannexed gaps and right‑of‑way parcels in the LEAP area.
The Lebanon Plan Commission unanimously recommended that the Common Council accept a series of voluntary annexations covering LEAP District phases 36 through 43 and assign the proposed LEAP zoning district to each annexed parcel.
Staff said the petitions are voluntary and intended to fill small unannexed gaps (often pieces of right of way or outparcels) left from earlier LEAP annexations, and to annex parcels that IEDC or private owners have placed under contract to further LEAP development. Chris Ingram, counsel for IEDC, attended and summarized that several parcels are owned or under option by entities advancing the LEAP project.
The annexation dockets considered and recommended were: - Docket 25‑13 (LEAP Phase 36): approximately 0.24 acre at 1865 W 300 N (a small sliver of property). - Docket 25‑14 (LEAP Phase 37): a right‑of‑way parcel along State Road 32 owned by IEDC (no street address). - Docket 25‑15 (LEAP Phase 38): another right‑of‑way parcel along State Road 32 (no street address). - Docket 25‑16 (LEAP Phase 39, parcel D): approximately 2.5 acres at 403 S 400 W. - Docket 25‑17 (LEAP Phase 39, parcel E): approximately 3.28 acres at 3980 W 50 S. - Docket 25‑18 (LEAP Phase 40): approximately 3.5 acres at 445 S 300 W. - Docket 25‑19 (LEAP Phase 41): approximately 1.0 acre at 2250 W State Road 32. - Docket 25‑20 (LEAP Phase 42): approximately 40 acres at 3755 W 25 N. - Docket 25‑21 (LEAP Phase 43): approximately 6.59 acres at the intersection of 200 N and 400 W (no GIS address listed).
For each docket staff opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke. The commission considered each annexation separately, then voted to recommend the LEAP district zoning classification for the post‑annexation territory and to forward ordinances to the Common Council. Staff noted two adjacent parcels (D and E in the materials) will be combined into a single annexation ordinance even though they were listed as two agenda dockets; the commission still issued separate recommendations per docket.
Ending: Each recommended annexation will go to the Common Council for ordinance adoption and formal annexation; once annexed and assigned LEAP zoning, property owners will proceed with any site development or LEAP project steps that require city permits or plan review.
