Staff read a docket of petitions of no appeal recommended for approval, including petitions at 82852 East County Line Road (Perry Township, ZON016), 2508 West Michigan Street (Wayne Township, ZON034), 445 Sanders Street (Center Township, ZON035), 550 North Washington Boulevard (Center Township), and 2310 Prospect Street (Center Township). The clerk also read amended CAP 804 at 324 West Morris Street and 325 Wilkins Street and R E G 027 at 40 South Alabama Street.

The commission took a single vote to ratify eight previously approved zoning petitions of no appeal. The clerk called the roll and announced the items were approved.

The commission then considered petition 2025 ZON025, an application to rezone property in a transit-oriented overlay for an automobile sales facility. Staff explained the property was recommended for community commercial (consistent with its existing C4 zoning) and is within a transit-oriented development (TOD) overlay; staff and the hearing examiner recommended denial because an automobile sales facility was determined to be incompatible with the comprehensive plan recommendation and the TOD overlay. The transcript records staff stating: \"The request at hand was to rezone to C5 specifically for the operation of an automobile sales facility, which staff determined was incompatible with both the comprehensive plan recommendation as well as the overall goals and intent of the TOD overlay. Therefore, staff recommended a denial, which was also the recommendation of the hearing [examiner].\"

The commission voted to uphold the hearing examiner's recommendation to deny the rezoning. The clerk announced the result in the transcript as: \"passes and upholds the denial 8 2 0\" (meeting record). The clerk also framed a yes vote as upholding the recommendation for denial and a no vote as overriding it.

Why it matters: Rezoning decisions determine permitted land uses and can affect traffic, transit compatibility and neighborhood plans. In this case, staff and the hearing examiner concluded an automobile sales operation was not compatible with the TOD overlay and the community commercial recommendation.

No public speakers addressed ZON025 during the hearing. The commission concluded its agenda after the vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council of Indianapolis, IN - Metropolitan Development Commission - Jun 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission ratified previously approved zoning petitions without appeals and upheld the hearing examiner's denial of one rezoning request for an auto sales use in a transit‑oriented overlay area.","taxTitle","Indianapolis City, Marion County, Indiana","taxId",3627,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533762,"MDC records no TIF pass-through, authorizes conveyances and establishes groundwater fund",5,527000,532000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3660437-ffb59622aff3cace7b011d735ca3e81b&start=527&end=532","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3660437-ffb59622aff3cace7b011d735ca3e81b/thumbnail_527000.jpg","/articles/6533762/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/MDC-records-no-TIF-pass-through-authorizes-conveyances-and-establishes-groundwater-fund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533762-d9e1690147f3a27c13857cb5355241cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192874&Signature=MbzLjDe85fZ2qTaSo95VplmvkUGGxPxX1xDl1We68GzVSbXTQBNWL9PzUOteFScnPJQBr~riU3ticp8nAkrJZe1u5UJo6vaXVnzzHAy6qMJOCTl4rZU-mqrrHdZX-Yhs4emT3M8otc5mCYoLwGFgc7qtwQE0ws9HskT6H2h7eL24SqfxNR-SPi8kEJiyzjcAc8Vs2Hk6vOuaY4k6q-6fuFfbbbo~LuaxmKr~LLjSlkI513-7XHsQ~sbrQWhuewFaMduyW3c~LL~YRnl0JDTSoWhwGErPSVrh4RFLXiN3u-5mgAi6K9zJT-MBrqrWyzwnIwAuiKY3SmN7um5bkdzcQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metropolitan Development Commission on June 4 made several policy determinations tied to tax increment financing (TIF) and local redevelopment, and approved a new groundwater protection fund budget.

Abby Hansen, comptroller, explained the commission must declare the amount of excess assessed value for TIF areas by June 15 per state statute and presented Resolution 2025 E‑015, which \"states that there is no excess assessed value to pass through to the base and provides myself, as the treasurer of the MDC, the ability to modify this original determination,\" Hansen said. She noted final assessed values are certified June 30, final determinations come in July and are used during the city's 2026 budget process; the final determinations will be made by August 1, she said.

Nancy (the clerk) read a set of resolutions the department placed on the agenda. Resolution 2025 R‑023 authorizes the Department of Metropolitan Development to convey a portion of the former Pearl Street (between Maryland and Washington streets) to the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IndyGo) for transit-related uses. Resolution 2025 R‑024 authorizes DMD to convey nine properties for redevelopment based on a recommendation from the Indianapolis Land Bank Vacant to Vibrant Review Committee.

The commission also approved Resolution 2025 E‑014 to allow use of Fall Creek East TIF allocation funds for infrastructure improvements (signage, seating, trash receptacles and landscaping) within the TIF allocation area, and Resolution 2025 P‑005 to establish a new road to be named Innovator Way as part of redevelopment of the Alango Animal Health property.

On groundwater protection, the commission approved Resolution 2025 P‑007, which \"establishes and approves a budget of $275,000 for the Groundwater Protection Fund and authorizes the Department of Metropolitan Development to administer the fund for the purposes of developing and operating education and voluntary business registration programs through the Marion County Wellfield Education Corporation (MCWEC) and administering the Wellfield Protection Secondary Zoning Districts,\" Nancy read into the record. Resolution 2025 P‑008 authorizes the Department to assess the public water supply systems of Marion County for the purpose of funding the Groundwater Protection Fund; the assessment amount was read in the meeting as \"2 Hundred And 70 5 Thousand Dollars\" (transcribed phrase; amount not specified in the record). The clerk concluded the reading of the resolutions.

Why it matters: The E‑015 TIF declaration affects whether taxable increment will pass to overlapping taxing units; a finding of no pass-through preserves tax increment in TIF areas for redevelopment and debt service. The conveyances to IndyGo and land-bank conveyances enable specific redevelopment and transit projects; the groundwater fund creates a locally administered program to fund education and voluntary registration tied to wellfield protection.

The resolutions were approved as presented; the clerk recorded a roll call for the package of nine policy resolutions. DMD staff and the comptroller noted the statutory timing constraints tied to assessor certification and the city's budget cycle.","The commission declared there is no excess assessed value to pass through from TIF areas by the June 15 statutory deadline, authorized property conveyances to IndyGo and the Land Bank, and approved a new Groundwater Protection Fund budget and related assessments.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533767,"MDC amends Walker abatement, terminates Georgia's Concrete agreement and advances Holiday Properties ERA to retain jobs",213,746000,959000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3660437-ffb59622aff3cace7b011d735ca3e81b&start=746&end=959","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3660437-ffb59622aff3cace7b011d735ca3e81b/thumbnail_746000.jpg","/articles/6533767/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/MDC-amends-Walker-abatement-terminates-Georgias-Concrete-agreement-and-advances-Holiday-Properties-ERA-to-retain-jobs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533767-68f4923da05e18aab63fcc8a7bd67432/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192874&Signature=lzkJbnVtSqS~cmZ61s9qlAyUNQOQxrcicvfiGpxw8zf5EO5Oj5ONNy3BiNLJSMGlkqg9wQD6Q8LL~uNLaXT2XIG6InAHVOcg8cuIEhPbr9tkdj5nA4yUhDVGBLWASe1hDJW4JCCoWbONuX-OkOZbCnh~XFTZZQ3UGLCZgeThcVEDc~qUyTtj9A~bUinFITEUaLi7J45SJG6rHJYoRN8WVsi534921Ny42~KoAxYYslZ6HtZpKlAQm6APeU5OFCt~-MRphKM0Ac21CCy5E7BFOX58Lq54tcw~Df0Bi2oJxiX1Ei-bwwOPTL8edsCbPOMMMIqiSwqdQfo31Q--kiXJhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metropolitan Development Commission on June 4 approved changes to multiple tax-incentive agreements intended to retain jobs and support redevelopment in Marion County.

Jenny Folds, deputy director for the Department of Metropolitan Development, told the commission it sought authorization to amend an existing 2016 real property tax abatement for Walker Information Inc. at 8940 River Crossing Boulevard to reflect recent changes in the company's occupancy and to codify positions at the site through 2031. \"This amendment will just basically codify the positions that are at the building location now, through 2031,\" Folds said. The current tax abatement for the project ends in 2026 (pay 2027). The commission approved the amendment (Resolution 2025 A‑024) as recorded by the clerk; the roll call was announced in the meeting as passing 8 to 0.

Separately, the commission voted to terminate a January 2025 real property tax abatement for Georgia's Concrete Pumping Services Inc., located at 1549 Churchman Avenue in Center Township (Resolution 2025 A‑018). Sherry Orr, principal program manager for economic incentives at DMD, said the termination stems from the company's request to change commitments in the January 2025 agreement, specifically job wages. Orr said DMD required the revised terms to be submitted as a new application; \"the company has submitted a new application,\" she said. The commission approved the termination; the clerk called the roll and announced a yes vote.

The panel also advanced a preliminary economic revitalization area resolution for Holiday Property Services Midwest Inc., located at 55 Monument Circle (Resolution 2025 A‑021), with staff recommending a 10‑year real property tax abatement. That item was included among a package of nine policy resolutions the commission approved during the meeting.

Why it matters: The approvals and termination reflect the commission's role in administering tax incentives and redevelopment tools that local officials and companies use to influence business location, retention and redevelopment decisions. The Walker amendment and the Holiday Property preliminary ERA were presented by DMD staff as measures to preserve jobs and support redevelopment; the Georgia's Concrete termination was presented as an administrative step to allow the company to reapply under revised terms.

The department did not present new dollar figures tied to these specific abatements at the hearing. The record shows the Walker amendment will extend a codified staffing commitment through 2031 and that the company’s existing tax abatement is scheduled to end in 2026 (pay 2027). The Georgia's Concrete matters will be considered under a new application the company has submitted.

Votes at a glance: Resolution 2025 A‑024 (Walker Information Inc. amendment) — approved (roll called; announced 8 to 0). Resolution 2025 A‑018 (terminate January 2025 abatement for Georgia’s Concrete Pumping Services Inc.) — approved (roll called; announced yes). Resolution 2025 A‑021 (preliminary ERA for Holiday Property Services Midwest Inc.) — advanced as part of the nine-policy resolution package approved during the meeting.

No speakers from the public spoke in opposition during these agenda items. DMD staff indicated they had reviewed the matters in a pre-meeting and offered contact points for follow-up.","At its June 4 meeting, the Metropolitan Development Commission approved amendments and terminations of tax abatements and advanced a preliminary economic revitalization area for Holiday Property Services as part of actions to retain local jobs and support redevelopment.","actionData","errors"]
