2022 - May 26 - Town council passed a rezone ordinance from C-2 to Planned Unit Develoment.

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.

2023 - Apr 13 - Culver Town Council Adopts Rezoning Ordinance for 415 Lakeshore Drive

Anita Goodan

The Culver Town Council members reviewed an ordinance Tuesday night that concerns the rezoning of the property at 415 Lakeshore Drive from Commercial-2 (C-2) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD).

The proposed plans for the property include the construction of single family residential units with garages/accessory structures. The property formerly housed the City Tavern restaurant which was destroyed by a fire in October 2019.

An attorney representing the developers said variances were worked out with the town and went to the Board of Zoning Appeals where unanimous approval was given. The Culver Plan Commission also unanimously approved moving forward with the process of rezoning.

He noted various documents that support the residential development including a letter of support from Culver-Union Township Fire Chief Terry Wakefield regarding fire and safety access, as well as from Utility Superintendent Bob Porter regarding handicap parking spaces on Lakeshore Drive which are in addition to what parking would be available for the units.

The property was under litigation concerning variances which were previously addressed.

There were no other comments and the Culver Town Council members unanimously approved the first reading of the ordinance. They then voted to suspend the rules and unanimously approved the second and third readings of the ordinance.
