The Elkhart County Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning request and minor subdivision for a property on County Road 34 in Goshen.
Jason Veil of the Planning and Zoning Department presented a request by Jeffrey Martin, represented by Doran Associates, to change the zoning from A1 to DPUD A1 and create a two‑lot minor subdivision at 13770 County Road 34, approximately 1,180 feet east of County Road 35. Veil said the plan commission and planning staff recommended approval and that there were no remonstrators present. "The purpose of this DPUD ... is to split this into 2 separate lots to have a residential lot and a commercial lot," Veil said, explaining the DPUD is the appropriate tool for mixed‑use conversions.
Owner Jeffrey Martin spoke during the hearing and described correcting a prior special‑use arrangement and separating the property’s historical commercial and residential uses. The board closed the public hearing, moved to approve the rezoning and subdivision, and the motion carried unanimously.
The approval allows the property owner to proceed with the two‑lot division and establish distinct residential and commercial parcels under the DPUD provisions.
