The Petitioner files a zoning or variance request in City Hall. They must notify, by mail, all owners of lots either within 2 parcels from the one affected, or within 660 feet - whichever is less. They must also notify all registered Neighborhood Associations that claim the petitioner's land in their territory. The Petitioner is invited to meet with the Decatur Township Civic Council Land Use Committee. If we hear of the project before the Petitioner files, we may begin our discussions early. It is the intent of the Land Use Committee to review the proposal, discuss its impacts on the immediate neighbors and the Township as a whole. We may possibly engage in negotiating with the Petitioner about their proposal in the expectation that something better for our community might emerge. The Land Use Committee decides what position it will recommend the full Council take on the Petition (support, not oppose, or oppose). The zoning or variance petition is heard by the full Civic Council at its regularly scheduled monthly meeting. We hear the proposal from the Petitioner and comments for or against from any neighbors. The Land Use committee recommendation is stated, along with the reasons for that recommendation. Anyone in attendance may ask questions. All those who have been members of the Civic Council for 90 days, votes by paper ballot - either 'support', 'not oppose', 'oppose', or 'abstain'. The official position of the Decatur Township Civic Council is that which receives a majority of the votes cast. The petition is then heard downtown at the City-County Building (200 E. Washington St). A zoning request may first be heard by the Hearing Examiner and then by the Metropolitan Development Commission (MDC). A variance request is usually heard by one of three Boards of Zoning Appeals (BZA). The Land Use Committee sends representatives to these hearings to give a presentation on the reasons for the Civic Council position. Depending upon the Petition, there may be an appeal to the City-County Council of a decision by the MDC or BZA.
