Area Plan Commission recommends rezoning the former Mason Lodge on Garfield Avenue for a software company's office

What happened

The commission recommended rezoning two parcels at 2215 Garfield Avenue from single-family residential (R1) to C1 neighborhood commercial (allows small business uses inside a residential area) so St. Properties/Paul Gibson can use the building — a former fraternal lodge — as a corporate office for digital software development and online demonstrations. (8:48, 9:00) Staff noted the building already has hard-surface parking and had not actually been used as a home for years, even though it was zoned that way. (9:31) No one spoke against the request, and the petitioner's representative had nothing to add to staff's report. (10:24)

The outcome

Recommended for approval on a voice vote, with city plan review and a possible state design release still required; Terre Haute City Council still has to take a final vote. (10:32)
