College Movers rezone continued after questions about outdoor storage and commitments

Area Plan Commission of Tippecanoe County · July 15, 2026

Summary

The APC continued Z-3036 (College Movers & Junk Hauling) to Aug. 19 at the petitioner's request to allow time to craft commitments limiting junkyard-type operations and clarify surfacing and use conditions.

The APC continued Z-3036, a petition to rezone two lots (2404 and 2318 Loy Drive) from GB to I3 for a moving and junk-hauling business, to the August 19 commission meeting after discussions about allowable uses and site surfacing.

Amanda Esposito described the proposal and staff recommendation; the petitioner, Braden Trimpe, said heavier truck traffic and containers motivated a preference for a heavy-duty gravel surface rather than paved asphalt. Board members expressed concern about potential junkyard operations given the business name and the site's proximity to a medical center. Jerry Reynolds asked whether commitments could be added to limit scrap or junkyard uses; APC staff said adding a commitment would require a continuation. The petitioner requested a continuance, and the motion to continue carried unanimously.

If the city later proposes a commitment, APC staff noted it would return to APC for a recommendation. The continuance will allow the petitioner and staff to pursue a written commitment that would run with the land if agreed.
