The project is designed to provide a diverse range of services, amenities and experiences that are accessible to both church members and the broader public.”The campus would be open daily, according to the project description, with the goal of creating a destination that remains active throughout the day, every day of the week. After it’s complete, the development expects to have between 75 and 115 employees, as well as many contracted services. A proposed rezone for the development will come back to the council after a review by the Fishers Plan Commission in October. A neighborhood meeting will be scheduled sometime in September. In other matters, the council approved an economic revitalization area at 9786 Masters Rd. for a new 22,000-square-foot office building proposed by Patch Development, a Fishers-based commercial real estate development firm. The $7.3 million building will be the company’s new headquarters and operational hub for development, according to the council action form. As an incentive, the city will authorize a 75-percent, five-year property tax abatement for the building and site.In return, Patch has agreed to hire five to 10 new employees, in addition to its 13 current full-time positions. Nobody spoke during a public hearing before the vote. The council also tabled a rezone for the new standalone Citizens State Bank building on 116th Street near Olio Road. Councilors were concerned about drivers making left turns into and out of the site and wanted to change the PUD to a right-in, right-out access. Citizens representatives said that wouldn’t work for them. Following lengthy discussion that indicated the proposed rezone would fail, Mayor Scott Fadness suggested tabling the motion so city staff could negotiate options with Citizens and bring the issue back to the council. A motion to table passed unanimously. The next Fishers City Council meeting is set for 7 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Fishers Municipal Center theater. </div></body>
