Comprehensive Plan -- Its Back to Work
by Keith Holdsworth

[Principal Planner, Comprehensive Plan, City of Indianapolis]

The land use mapping phase of the Indianapolis Insight Plan continues with meetings in the Perry Township and Lawrence Township Planning Areas. At these meetings recommended land uses will be proposed for each parcel of land within the planning areas. Areas with neighborhood or corridor plans will not be re-planned. The few portions of Center Township not covered by a neighborhood or corridor plan will be planned with their neighboring township.

The Perry Township Planning Area includes all parts of Perry Township except those areas covered by U.S. 31 & South Madison Avenue Corridor Plan, the Concord Community Plan and the I-65/County Line Road Strategic Plan. The Perry Township Planning Area will include a portion of southeastern Center Township that has not the subject of a neighborhood or corridor plan. It will also include the entire City of Beech Grove, including the portions of Beech Grove in Franklin and Warren Townships.

The Lawrence Township Planning Area includes all parts of Lawrence Township except those areas covered by the 38th & Shadeland Area Plan, the Pendleton Pike Corridor Plan and the Far Eastside Neighborhood Plan.

The first two of an estimated nine meetings for the Perry Township Planning Area will be held at the following times and locations:

1st meeting - Monday, January 6 - 7:00 p.m.
Abraham Lincoln Elementary School
5241 Brehob Rd.

2nd meeting - Monday, January 27 - 7:00 p.m.
Southport Elementary School
261 E. Anniston Drive

The first two meetings for the Lawrence Township Planning Area will be held on these dates and places:

1st meeting - Monday, January 13 - 7:00 p.m.
Lawrence North High School cafeteria
7802 Hague Rd.

2nd meeting - Monday, February 3 - 7:00 p.m.
Lawrence North High School cafeteria
7802 Hague Rd.

Although the meetings are being held on a township basis, the results from each township will be put together to form an overall Land Use Plan for Marion County. The meetings are open to all Marion County citizens who wish to be involved. Approximately nine meetings will be held in each planning area. If more meetings are needed to complete the work, more meetings will be added to the schedule. The content of each meeting will build upon the outcomes of the previous meetings.
