Zionsville plan commission recommends against rezoning for 30,000‑sf grocery at 300 S. & U.S. 421; Walmart reportedly bought acreage in Appaloosa Crossing

The Zionsville Plan Commission on 2026-10-20 voted to recommend denial of a rezoning request that would have changed the property at 300 South and U.S. 421 from rural-agriculture to general business to allow a proposed 30,000-square-foot grocery with entrances on both roads, saying planners and commissioners were uncomfortable with the vague site plan and that the proposal conflicted with the town’s newly adopted comprehensive plan (which lists the area as rural estate and residential), according to Current Publishing.

Current Publishing reported public commenters and commission members raised traffic and piecemeal-development concerns; the original site plan had shown more retail and restaurants but was reduced because a gas pipeline and a CountryMark easement run across the property. The petitioner, 300S421 LLC, committed to prohibit car washes and liquor stores. Plan Commission member Kendrick Davis told Current Publishing that Walmart purchased about seven acres in Appaloosa Crossing in August, with no further information available at press time. The rezoning request now heads to the Zionsville Town Council for a final ruling.
