The Evansville Common Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance R-2026-07, rezoning 203 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to C02 to permit the proposed residential use.
Cassie Virgen of the Area Plan Commission presented the APC recommendation (8–0), describing the site's history and surrounding zoning and noting the 2035 future land-use map recommends mixed uses. "The applicant's now requesting to down zone to C02 for proposed residential use," Virgen said, and APC recommended approval because the request aligns with the comprehensive plan.
Quentin Kyle, the property owner, told council he plans to renovate the 1867 building and create three units for short-term rentals. "My goal is to renovate a building that's obviously been here a very long time, and provide short term rentals to visitors and occupants of Evansville," Kyle said.
No public opposition was recorded. Council voted 8–0 to adopt the rezoning. The change keeps the property consistent with the city's redevelopment goals for the downtown area.
