COLUMBUS, Ind. — Garden City Mobile Home Community LLC is moving ahead with its plan to add additional housing to its mobile home park, despite a tied Columbus City Council vote to rezone a portion of the property.
The ordinance sought to rezone a 1-acre property on 960 Jonesville Road, immediately south of the existing Garden City Mobile Home Park, to “Residential: Manufactured Home Park.” The acre was previously zoned for “Residential: Single Family 2.” The owner, Dana DelSignore, is looking to add up to seven additional homes on the property.
Columbus City Council’s vote on whether or not to approve the second reading of the rezoning ordinance was split 3-3 on Tuesday night. City council members Elaine Hilber, Jerone Wood and Frank Miller voted against the ordinance, as they did before at the previous reading. Councilman David Bush was late to the meeting, leading to the tied vote.
State law dictates that because the city council was unable to make a decision within 90 days of the planning commission’s original recommendation, the planning commission’s recommendation to rezone the property stands as the final decision.
