ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR
ADDITIONAL HEIGHT OF ROOFTOP
MECHANICAL APPURTENANCES
On September 18, 1990, the Carmel\Clay Plan Commission approved
unanimously (12 - 0) a zoning ordinance amendment Which regUlates more or less the
height of rooftop mechanical appurtenances. The current ordinance (see below) states
ected to any height not prohibited by other laws. Earlier
that the listed items may. be er _ ' 'n the ability for building height
this year the City (.;ounce] passed an ~tmendment restnct~ g
to be increased for additional building setback. The amendment (Z-256) that is before
you now, is a sister requirement of the additional height amendment (i.e. you have
restricted the height of the building, but still allow a penthouse to be unrestricted as to
height - someone could put on a three story penthouse). In addition this amendment
better defines the types of mechanical appurtenances and allows the appropriate body
a review process. The following is the current ordinance and the proposed ordinance
amendment:
Current ordinance reads as follows:
Chimney stacks, church spires, cooling towers, elevator bulkheads,
fire towers, monuments, conveyors, flagpoles, penthouses, stacks,
tanks, water towers, stage towers or scenery lofts, transmission
towers, or essential mechanical appurtenances may be erected to
any height not prohibited by other laws or ordinances.
Proposed ordinance amendment:
Upon approval by the appropriate authority chimney stacks, church
spires, monuments, flagpoles, water towers, stage towers, scenery lofts,
or transmission/receiving towers may be erected to the minimum height
appropriate unless prohibited by other laws or ordinances,
echanical or utilitarian rooftop appurtenances shall be
Essential atoned upon approval by the appropriate authority, such items
screened,
and their screening maybe erected to the minimum height appropriate
unless prohibited by other laws or ordinances. Such appurtenances shall
be defined as, but not limited to cooling towers, elevator bulkheads,
conveyors, heating ventilation air conditioning equipment (HVAC), and
roof top stairway access structures.
