Carmel Plan Commission
COMMERCIAL COMMITTEE
Tuesday, January 4, 2022 Department Report
2. Docket No. PZ-2021-00160 CA: West Main St. Block C2, Commitment Amendment.
The applicant seeks to amend commitments associated with Ordinance Z-611-16. The site is located at the
southeast corner of Main Street and 4th Avenue SW. The properties are zoned R-2/Residence and C-2/Mixed Use
District within the Old Town Overlay. Filed by the Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel
Plan Commission.
Please see the Petitioner’s Info Packet for detailed analysis and request for this commitment amendment.
December 21, 2021 Public Hearing Recap:
The Petitioner gave an overview of the request, stating that the C-2 ordinance has evolved to include the items that were
previously in effect through commitments. Members of the public spoke regarding this proposal. There were many
questions about the timing of this request. There was confusion as to why it was proposed because the parcels are still
under separate ownership. Another resident had concerns about commitments made by the City, then later changed. Plan
Commission members had questions about the plan for the area and felt that commitments are needed to protect those who
may not be interested in selling/moving. It was referred to the Commercial Committee meeting on Tuesday, January 4,
2022 for further review and discussion.
Recommendation:
If all comments and concerns are addressed, the Department of Community Services recommends the Commercial
Committee forwards this item back to the full Plan Commission with a Favorable Recommendation.
