The Culver Town Council members passed a rezoning ordinance Tuesday night that would rezone the parcels at 415 Lakeshore Drive from Commercial (C-2) to Planned Unit Development.
The change came as a developer would like to put in a housing project at that location. In response to public feedback in April during a Culver Plan Commission meeting, the developer scaled down the initial project from seven residential town homes down to six, decreased overall density, and increased green space.
With the changes, the Plan Commission members agreed to send a favorable recommendation for approval to the Culver Town Council that has the final action on the request.
Items were added to the ordinance after the first reading earlier this month that dealt with legal descriptions and certificates of recommendation from Culver Plan Commission so there was a motion to change it to a first reading, rather than the second reading advertised on the agenda. The council members then approved the first reading and eventually passed the ordinance on all three readings with Councilman Rich West abstaining from each vote.
