Board approves variances for 8049 Rosedale Road; rezoning to C‑1 to be heard by planning commission
Summary
The Vigo County Board of Zoning Appeals approved two variances for an existing building at 8049 Rosedale Road, clearing a condition needed for a separate rezoning application to a neighborhood commercial C‑1 district. Staff recommended approval provided any work obtain an improvement‑location permit.
The Vigo County Board of Zoning Appeals voted to approve two variances for 8049 Rosedale Road after staff recommended a favorable finding with conditions. The variances reduce the front‑yard setback by 2 feet from the 30‑foot requirement on Rosedale Road and reduce the south side‑yard setback by 9 feet from the required 10 feet for a building that predates the current Unified Zoning Ordinance.
Staff told the board the petitioner, Sandkep Ventures, has filed a separate rezoning application (to C‑1 neighborhood commercial, UCO 1025) that will be heard by the Area Planning Commission on July 2; that rezoning hearing is conditioned on the variances being granted. The building has a history of civic uses — formerly a schoolhouse, firehouse and community center — and the assessor lists the building as constructed in 1990. Staff said any future updates to the structure will require an improvement‑location permit.
Board members made a motion, seconded it, and approved the variances on a voice vote. No individual roll‑call votes were recorded in the transcript.
The staff recommendation and the board’s approval do not by themselves rezone the parcel; the rezoning application to C‑1 will be considered separately at the Area Planning Commission meeting noted by staff.
