11/19/24 - Hammond Plan Commission Meeting

The Hammond Plan Commission meeting on November 19, 2024, primarily focused on a proposed residential subdivision development at 1301 Highland Street in Hammond, Indiana. The petitioner presented plans for a mix of duplex and single-family homes, including new street extensions and zoning changes from park use to residential districts. The project aims to revitalize the area with compatible housing while preserving the historic character of the adjacent Pulman Standard neighborhood. The commission discussed technical aspects such as utility easements, infrastructure bidding scheduled for December 12, and future auction timelines for the lots. Due to unmet notification requirements, the commission voted to continue the matter to the December 16 meeting. No public comments were made during the hearing, and no new business or correspondence was presented.
