The subject property contains 39,020 square feet (0.90 acres) and is currently vacant. The <br /> site housed the parking facilities for the Blue Mill Restaurant until it was demolished on <br /> March, 2001. The property is located within the Westown Square planned unit development <br /> approved by the Plan Commission and City Council in December, 2001. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> 2. As a part of the P.U.D., the petitioner proposed to rezone the subject property along with <br /> other tracts located to the east of the subject property. Upon administrative review of <br /> rezonings during calendar year 2000, staff discovered that the parking area from the original <br /> Blue Mill site was not included in the legal description of the rezoning ordinance and the <br /> parking lot was zoned R-6. The legal description was correct, however, for the ordinance <br /> establishing a P.U.D. on the entire site. <br />
