Plan Commission backs Traders Point Church rezone

Fishers Plan Commission first meeting of 2024

Traders Point Christian Church in Fishers received a favorable recommendation from the Fishers Plan Commission to rezone property on their location at 12648 E 116th Street, near Brooks School Road.  The church owns adjacent land for expansion of the building and parking lot, but must rezone that parcel of land to move forward.

Neighbors raised concerns about loud music during the services that they say can be heard in their homes.  Church officials say the addition to the building will address that issue.

City Councilor Selina Stoller asked that the matter be tabled,  allowing more time to deal with the sound issue, but the Commission voted 6-1 approving the favorable rezone recommendation to the City Council.  Stoller was the lone Commission no vote.

The rezone now goes to the City Council for final approval.

In other items before the Plan Commission:

–Howard Stevenson was voted by Commission members as the President for 2024.  Pete Peterson will serve as vice president.

–The Commission approved recommendations to the city’s commercial overlay and updates to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, for approval by the City Council.
