Hammond council tables annexation request for Magazine Street parcels
Summary
The Hammond City Council voted to table an ordinance to annex two parcels on Magazine Street and zone them RS-3, after administration requested more time to resolve questions raised about the proposal.
The Hammond City Council on Jan. 13 voted to table an ordinance that would annex two Magazine Street parcels into the city and zone them RS-3.
City staff presented the request as an ordinance “by Mary Levine to annex 21.77 and 18 acres of Magazine Street into the city's corporate limits,” noting the planning commission recommended adoption. An administration representative said additional time was needed to resolve outstanding questions and asked the council to table the item.
Council members moved to table the ordinance; the motion carried and the item will be brought back at the council’s next meeting. No public testimony in opposition was recorded at the hearing.
The decision pauses the annexation until staff and council can provide further information and respond to the administration’s concerns.
