Zionsville Mayor John Stehr has withdrawn the South Village planned unit development from Town Council consideration. The PUD, which passed the plan commission with a favorable recommendation July 15, was scheduled for a vote Aug. 5 before the full town council. The PUD was created to set parameters for development of 110 acres between the brick Main Street and Old 106th Street, including standards for building heights, standards for setbacks, architectural standards and a land use that sets aside land for preservation. The proposal aimed to add dining, retail and commercial options to the Village, increase assessed property values and add people to the district. In a letter to the town council, Stehr said there is not an appropriate consensus to move forward but added that the South Village area is “key to preserving the culture and aesthetic of our iconic brick street. We must get it right.”
