The Shelbyville Planning Commission made significant strides in urban development during its regular meeting on July 26, 2025, approving two key projects that promise to enhance the community's residential landscape.

The commission unanimously approved a final plat for the Stonegate Phase 3 subdivision, which will consist of four residential lots on 1.64 acres. This project, located off Silke Circle and Providence Road, adheres to the city's medium-low density residential standards. The approval follows a thorough review process, confirming that the plans are consistent with previously approved concept and preliminary plats. Notably, the project includes a 50-foot public right-of-way extension of Stepping Stone Drive, ensuring proper access and connectivity for future residents.

In addition to the Stonegate development, the commission also addressed updates on wetland positions and procedural notifications regarding permit updates. However, no conditions were placed on the approved projects, indicating that they met all necessary design standards and requirements.

The meeting concluded with a strong show of support from the commission members, reflecting a commitment to fostering responsible growth in Shelbyville. As these developments move forward, they are expected to contribute positively to the community's housing options and overall urban planning efforts.
