Commission approves rezoning for duplex at 1624 North 13th Street
Summary
The Area Plan Commission approved rezoning of 1624 North 13th Street from M1 (Light Industrial) to R2 (Two‑family residence) to allow conversion of an existing building to a duplex.
The Vigo County Area Plan Commission voted to rezone 1624 North 13th Street from M1 (Light Industrial District) to R2 (Two‑family Residence District) so the owner can convert the existing structure into a duplex, commission staff reported at the September meeting.
Staff recommended approval, noting the parcel is surrounded by residential zoning to the north and west and that the proposed use would conform to surrounding neighborhood characteristics. Variances for setbacks and off‑site parking had been requested and considered by the Board of Zoning Appeals; the transcript notes the BZA approved some variances and denied a variance for hard‑surface parking.
Eddie Felling, of Lyndon Felling Law Firm, spoke for the petitioner, 4 12 Realty LLC. "This was a nonconforming use, commercially, prior to the proposed rezoning. And my client intends to make it a ... two, three bedroom duplex, which would fit the neighborhood," Felling said.
Commissioners moved and approved the rezoning; the meeting transcript records the motion passed but does not include a recorded roll call tally.
