Planning commission conditionally approves lot split, self‑storage and auto service plans at Zionsville Place
Summary
The commission gave conditional approval to a primary plat amendment dividing Lot 2 of Zionsville Place into three lots and to development plans for a 10,000 sq ft self‑storage building and a 5,000 sq ft Meineke auto service center; approvals are contingent on DPW/drainage comments, fixture cut sheets, and final sign review.
The Zionsville Planning Commission on May 18 conditionally approved a primary plat amendment to subdivide Lot 2 of Zionsville Place into three lots and approved development plans for Zionsville Self Storage Phase 3 and a Meineke Auto Service Center, subject to standard staff and DPW review items.
Staff told the commission the site (2.6 acres) meets B3 zoning requirements after a rezoning earlier in the year and that the three proposed lots will be served by a shared access drive; the east lot would host a roughly 10,000‑square‑foot self‑storage building and the west lot a roughly 5,000‑square‑foot Meineke service center. Staff noted minor outstanding items: drainage refinements requested by DPW, fixture cut sheets and final sign dimensions for staff review.
Petitioners: Attorney Jeff Jacob presented on behalf of the petitioners and emphasized tree preservation, compliance with the Zionsville architectural theme on visible facades, cross‑access easements and commitments to address DPW comments. He said the storage operator intends to meet the ordinance’s landscaping and building material standards and that parking counts reflect the ordinance requirement (1 space per 200 sq ft for storage areas).
Votes and conditions: The commission approved the primary plat amendment and each development plan by separate motions. The approvals were conditional on: final DPW/staff resolution of drainage and engineering comments, submittal and staff approval of lighting fixture cut sheets, submission of sign permit applications for staff review, and substantial compliance with the submitted plans. Staff will confirm technical items before permits are issued.
Next steps: Petitioners must provide the requested technical documentation and execute cross‑access and other plat instruments as part of the secondary plat and permitting process.
