IHPC recommends historic area plan to Metropolitan Development Commission, stays wrecking permit
Summary
After adopting a historic‑area preservation plan for the former Saint Francis de Sales Church, the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission voted to forward the plan to the Metropolitan Development Commission and asked staff to notify city permitting to hold the wrecking permit until MDC acts.
The Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission voted to approve Historic Area Preservation Plan 46 for the former Saint Francis de Sales Catholic Church and recommended that the Metropolitan Development Commission adopt the plan into the county comprehensive plan.
Meg Bush, IHPC administrator, read Declaratory Resolution 2026‑R‑03 and said that adopting the plan as part of the comprehensive plan is the next required step. "Be it further resolved that historic area preservation plan 46... be approved and recommended to the Metropolitan Development Commission for adoption as part of the comprehensive plan for Marion County," Bush read. Commissioners moved, seconded, and approved the resolution by voice vote.
Bush also told commissioners that IHPC staff would notify the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services to hold the wrecking permit until MDC concludes its review. She said the MDC hearing should be scheduled within about a month. The stay on the wrecking permit will remain until MDC acts and the property's designation becomes final following MDC adoption.
