Plan Commission 2026-06-08

The Greenwood, Indiana Plan Commission held a meeting on June 8, 2026, primarily focused on a public hearing and subsequent approval of the annexation and rezoning petition PC 2026-033 for approximately 193 acres on the southwest side of the city. The petitioner, Alaw Homes, presented plans for a mixed-use residential development called Sterling Roads, including single-family homes, townhomes, and cottages, along with amenities such as trails, playgrounds, and green spaces. The commission discussed infrastructure commitments, including road improvements, traffic studies, and right-of-way dedications for a future roundabout at Honey Creek Road and Whiteland Road. A significant point of debate was the requirement for the developer to construct a bridge over Alexander Ditch to support future connectivity, with concerns raised about the timing and financial burden of this infrastructure. Ultimately, the commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the annexation and rezoning to the Greenwood Common Council, with multiple commitments related to road upgrades, traffic impact studies, pedestrian crossings, and environmental preservation. The meeting also included announcements about upcoming training and new staff members.
