Council approves rezoning of about 96.09 acres southeast of Honey Creek Road
Summary
The Greenwood Common Council approved Ordinance 26‑27 to rezone roughly 96.09 acres near Honey Creek Road and Stones Crossing after an applicant presentation and an amendment adding a commitment; developer commitments include a traffic impact study, road widening and off‑site contributions identified after the TIS.
The Greenwood Common Council on Aug. 3 voted to approve Ordinance 26‑27, which rezones approximately 96.09 acres southeast of Honey Creek Road and the Stones Crossing roundabout. Attorney Joe Calder, representing the petitioner, said the plan mixes RA paired patio homes and RM multifamily types, and projected buildout could begin next spring and run about five years.
The petitioner emphasized alignment with the city comprehensive plan and offered seven voluntary commitments — later amended to add an eighth — covering infrastructure obligations. Calder said a consent signed by the property owner was included with the application and that the developer “will do a TIS. We have to do road improvements. We have to work with the Department of Engineering” and that the developer “is voluntarily agreed to kind of put ourselves out there.” Resident John Gantevo had urged the council to delay action, arguing the petition was procedurally flawed and that a traffic study was missing; council ultimately approved the ordinance on a roll call vote reported as 7–0.
The ordinance authorizes zoning changes from the existing agricultural and lower‑density designations toward RA and RM on the parcel and includes infrastructure commitments such as lane widening, a 1.5" mill and overlay on adjacent roadway, and a developer donation mechanism tied to TIS results. Planning staff reported a unanimous favorable recommendation from the advisory planning commission before the council vote.
