Hartford City Home Rezoning Gets Favorable Recommendation
From the Blackford County Area Plan Commission meeting on November 10, 2026
Tina Coons received a favorable recommendation Nov. 10 to return a North Cherry Street property in Hartford City to residential zoning after renovating the former hearing-aid office as a house.
Coons told the Blackford County Area Plan Commission she bought the property and wanted the zoning changed so it could be sold and occupied as a home. The request would change the parcel from B3, a business zoning classification, to R3, a residential classification.
Discussion focused partly on which parcel the request covered and whether neighboring lots were included. Seventeen notices were mailed. Fourteen signed returns came back, while three were unaccounted for.
While the recommendation was voted favorably but does not finish the rezoning. Coons said she would next take the request to Hartford City for its own vote.
