MEMORANDUM
TO: Carmel Plan Commission
FROM: Michael Hollibaugh
Department of Community Services
SUBJECT: Docket no. PZ-2021-00160 CA
Commitment Amendment for C2 Rezone Z-611-16
DATE: December 10, 2021
Please find information on the following item, a proposal to amend the Commitments from Z-611-16,
approved by Carmel City Council in March 2016.
Commitment Amendment to West Main Street C-2 Rezone
The City is seeking to amend the Commitments which accompany the C-2 Rezone ordinance Z-611-16, for
the one block area in the Carmel Arts & Design District, generally bound by West Main Street, 4th Avenue
SW, 1st Street SW and 3rd Ave SW, comprising 6 lots in the R-2/Residence District, within the Old Town
District Overlay Zone and C2 Mixed Use District. The properties are identified by the following addresses:
311, 321, 331 West Main Street; 320 1st Street SW; and 20 3rd Avenue SW and 0 3rd Avenue SW. The lots
are further delineated on the aerial found on the following page below.
Filed by the Carmel Dept. of Community Services.

Summary:
The Commitment Amendment proposal is to terminate the Z-611-16 Commitments - which may occur
pursuant to a decision of the Carmel Plan Commission made at a public hearing after proper notice has
been given - as delegated to the Plan Commission by City Council in 2016.
The request to terminate the Commitments will allow completion of the 2016 C-2 Mixed Use District
Rezone for the identified lots by extending the C-2 Mixed Use District over the entire block. This action
will further position the property to be consistent with the City’s plan; allow for coordinated redevelopment
of the block and facilitate mixed-use development over time.
The Plan Commission and City Council spent several months in 2015 and 2016 reviewing this rezone
proposal. There was a wide range of discussion, including the exploration of other potential zoning district
options, splitting the blocks, and potential building scenarios. Ultimately, it was determined that the C-2
District was the best long-term solution because it allows for both single family residential and a long-term
mixed use and walkable vision. While impossible to address all concerns, several commitments were
proposed to address many of the concerns, which are illustrated in the map below.
Commitments were drafted for each property to address several issues that are either not covered or would
be more restrictive than the C-2 District, including:
• Maximum Building Heights
• Permitted Uses
• Landscaping – Parking Screening, Foundation Plantings
• Mechanical Screening and Dumpster Locations
• Architecture and Phasing

Since adoption of this rezone there has been considerable change to the area which reduce the uncertainty
that existed at the time and which help to minimize the need to commitments, including:
• completion of Monon Boulevard
• approval and construction of Monon & Main Redevelopment, with a 4-story 35,000 sq. ft. mixed use
building; 14,000 sq. ft. restaurant building, 7 townhouses and a three-level - 200 space parking garage.
• UDO Amendments adopted to C-2 Mixed-use District, including landscaping and transition provisions
The Department believes the termination of the commitments is in the best interest of the community to
facilitate a mixed-use development plan within the Arts and Design District.
CONCEPT PLAN FOR AREA
From 2012 Midtown Plan
Recommendation:
The Department of Community Services recommends the Plan Commission vote to suspend the Rules of
Procedure and vote to terminate the Z-611-16 Commitments for the identified lots.
