The Elizabethtown Planning Commission on Tuesday re-opened a public hearing on a zoning map amendment for a property on Saint John Road.

Elizabethtown City Planner Aaron Hawkins said the March 25 public hearing on 707 Saint John Road was tabled due to a public notice issue. Property owners John and Hanna Yun requested the property be rezoned from Suburban Residential (R-1) to High-Density Residential (R-6) and Regional Commercial (C-3) to accommodate a 114-room hotel, a commercial retail building, and a corporate housing unit.

Members of the commission expressed concerns with the proposal including its cohesiveness with the city’s comprehensive plan, placing high-density residential in the middle of an area that is mostly single-family homes, and the safety of a proposed roundabout at the property’s entrance.

“As I said in our last hearing, a lot of things are going on on this site,” said Planning Commission Chairman Steve Rice. “I do appreciate it, and we look at all the time how we can improve the city of E-Town, and this certainly is an option to do that, but there’s too many moving issues on this particular one for me to feel comfortable with it.”

The commission voted to recommend the Elizabethtown City Council not approve the zoning amendment.

In other meeting news, the commission voted to recommend approval of a zoning change for the Venue at Highland, located at 1377 Hutcherson Lane, from Future Development Holding to Agribusiness to allow for the property to convert a barn into a dwelling unit and event space. The commission also voted to recommend approval of a zoning change for 110 East Memorial Drive from R-6 to Neighborhood Office C-1, which will allow Clarity Solutions to construct an administrative office there.
