CRG Residential Comprehensive Plan Analysis
The Land Classification Plan Map of the Comprehensive Plan (see attached “Comp Plan”
pages) identifies the subject site as Employment Node. Appropriate land uses in the Employment
Node include residential, however only on the fourth floor or higher. The Employment Node
designation character also indicates density for residential uses should not exceed 14 units per acre.
The subject site is currently zoned B-3 Business which permits Multi-family apartment dwellings
among many other types of other Commercial uses. The current zoning limits the number of
permitted dwellings to 79 or a density of approximately 8.7 dwellings per acre, again along with many
other Commercial uses which could be developed on the site (see current permitted use list under Tab
3). The proposed development would be for exclusively a maximum of 195 apartments on the site
and no additional commercial uses at a density of 21.5 units per acre.
Apartments are a traditional transitional use from the single family suburban residential (area
th
north of the subject site) to the higher intensity the commercial zones along 96 Street (which today
includes the subject site). When appropriately landscaped and designed with stair-stepping of building
heights, apartments can be a benefit next to single family residential as they provide appropriate
transition to higher intensity commercial uses rather than a more abrupt transition directly from single
family to higher intensity commercial.
th
The area along 96 Street, south of and adjacent to the site, is identified as Community Vitality
Node under the Comprehensive Plan (see attached Comp Plan pages), which include retail, service,
office, entertainment, restaurant and institutional uses. The site immediately south of the subject site
is the Butler Hyundai building and there are two (2) additional parcels to the west and east of the car
dealership including additional commercial development (existing and proposed). This area (area
th
along 96 Street) is zoned B-3 Business and is characteristic of the type of land uses permitted on the
subject property currently.
Per the Comprehensive Plan, apartments are a “Conditional Fit” next to Suburban Residential
land uses (see attached “Comp Plan” appropriate Land Classification Table). As a Conditional Fit
this development has been designed with sensitivity and appropriate transitions to the adjacent
Suburban Residential uses in terms of (i) a 50’ tree preservation area where the underlying zoning
only requires a 15’ landscape yard, (ii) stair-stepping of building heights to prevent a situation where
much taller buildings (maximum of 35’ in height) are permitted with a 50’ setback, and (iii) less
intensity in terms of the amount of traffic which would be anticipated if the site were to develop under
a currently permitted commercial scenario.
In addition, per the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, Attached Residential (see attached
plan pages) is the category the proposed apartments would be evaluated under. Attached Residential
is considered a “Best Fit” next to Community Vitality Node (which is south of and adjacent to the
site), a “Conditional Fit” next to Employment Node, which is the commercial area west and east of
the subject site, and again the use is a “Conditional Fit” next to Suburban Residential (subdivision to
the north).
In conclusion, the CRG Residential PUD proposal is consistent and compatible with policies
and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan as an appropriate transitional use between
Suburban Residential to the north and higher intensity commercial (Community Vitality Node) land
th
uses along 96 Street.

RE:Trip Generation Analysis-96Street& Randall Dr.,Carmel, Indiana
A&F Engineering Co., LLC has conducted a trip generation analysisfor a potential residential
th
project north of 96Street and west of Randall Drive in CarmelIndiana at the request of CRG
residential LLC.The purpose of this analysis is to compare the traffic impact of the proposed
residential development to the traffic impact of a retail development that could be constructed on
the subject site.The development options are as follows:
Option 1:195 apartments(as proposed by CRG ResidentialLLC)
Option 2:112,600square feet ofgeneralretail development
The traffic volumes that will be generated fromthesite under each development option were
th
estimated based on information provided in the 9edition ofthe ITE Trip Generation
Informational Report.Asummary of the total trafficvolumes that will be generated byeach
option is shown in Table 1and a percentage comparison of generated trips between theoptions
is shown in Table 2.
