ETJ stands for Extra-territorial Planning Jurisdiction. This would apply City zoning rules for properties/existing developments that are located near the City's corporate limits.

The City of Shelbyville is looking at future growth in and around current corporate limits to ensure zoning matches the vision identified in the comprehensive plan for those areas. This ETJ proposal is not connected to any specific project but requires all future developments to meet the same standards.
