Council introduces rezoning and right-of-way revocations for behavioral health center expansion
Summary
The council introduced ordinances to rezone parcels on South Oak Street to allow expansion of a behavioral health center — including 24 additional beds — and related right-of-way revocations; public hearing and planner discussion were scheduled for the next meeting.
The Hammond City Council on Jan. 13 introduced a package of ordinances to facilitate expansion of a behavioral health facility on South Oak Street.
Staff described an ordinance by Joe Lombardo to rezone parcels at and near 800 South Oak Street from RS-3 and RM-2 to C-N to allow commercial use and an expansion that would add outpatient services and 24 beds. Planning and zoning recommended adoption by a 5–0 vote. Staff also introduced companion ordinances to revoke abandoned city rights-of-way that are needed to consolidate and expand the site; applicants would pay survey and recording costs for the revocations.
Council treated these as introductions only. City staff said representatives and the city planner would appear at the next meeting to explain details and respond to public questions. No final votes or approvals on rezoning or revocations occurred at this session.
"The applicant is proposing to add outpatient services and an additional 24 more beds to the proposed new facility," staff said at the introduction. "If this is introduced tonight, we would have a public hearing on this at the next council meeting."
