The Shelbyville Plan Commission delivered a favorable recommendation Monday on the rezone request for a former church on Shelbyville’s west side.
Jacob Brattain wants to convert the former West Side Pilgrim Holiness Wesleyan Church at 534 S. Miller Avenue to a small apartment complex.
To begin the building conversion, the property needs to be reasoned from Institutional (IS) to Business Neighborhood (BN). The Plan Commission’s favorable recommendation will be forwarded to the Shelbyville Common Council for final approval.
The 4,000 square foot building, which is currently vacant, sits on the corner of Miller Avenue and Dunn Avenue.
Brattain wants to create eight one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments at approximately 400 square feet for each unit.
“It will be a unique place to live. It will be a comfortable place to live. It will be new and neat,” said Brattain.
