The Town Council has officially denied the variance request and confirmed they will uphold our existing size limits. I am honestly stunned by this result because it is entirely the consequence of 311 people deciding to speak up when it mattered. Please take a moment to celebrate this win while …

KEEP THE TOWN OF ZIONSVILLE, INDIANA
FREE OF BIG BOX STORES
To:The Zionsville Board of Zoning Appeals, Redevelopment Commission and Town Council
From:Concerned Citizens, Friends, and Merchants of Zionsville
We urge the decision makers in Zionsville to honor the ordinances put in place just a few years ago to limit the size of any single commercial business to 60,000 square feet. Specifically, the ordinance states that: "No single use, whether free-standing or contained in an Integrated Center, shall exceed sixty thousand (60,000) square feet of Gross Floor Area." and "No Integrated Center shall exceed one hundred twenty-five thousand (125,000) square feet of total Gross Floor Area." We ask that these decision makers vote against Walmart or any other "big box" stores from receiving a variance to this ordinance.
Why is this important? Walmart and other big box additions to Zionsville will adversely impact traffic, will have a negative impact on our small local businesses, and will provide NO real tax revenue or benefit to our schools, police, fire or other government services. This ordinance was put in place recently and for good reason - let's urge our decision makers to uphold that decision.

I am truly stunned by the momentum we have built together. This shows just how much this town matters to all of you, and I am just lucky to be helping move this along.

WHY ARE WE EVEN CONSIDERING THIS. Support local shops instead of shipping our money off to walmart headquarters.
Stick to the rules we already agreed on. No variances for big box retail. Plain and simple.
The traffic on 334 is bad enough already. Adding a superstore will make it a total nightmare for everyone living here.
This town is special because of the local feel. If we let them build these huge stores it will just look like everywhere else. Sad.
Keep zionsville small! We dont need giant chain stores ruining the character of our town.
