Per Indiana Code, the resolutions then go to the Area Plan Commission and Common Council for approval, followed by a Commission public hearing and consideration of confirming resolutions. With the realignment of certain existing development areas into other existing development areas, staff has planned to amend the development plans for those new areas. Additional sites, particularly the City Cemetery, Leeper Park and the Museum Campus, will be added to the realigned Airport Economic Development Area so that improvements can be made to these properties. Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 3253 authorizing staff to amend and bring back to the Commission amended development plans for the AEDA and NNDA and adding the additional properties to the AEDA. Ms. Schey thanked Mr. Ford and the staff for accommodating this request based on input from the Common Council and public. 12
