5. 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.
Petitioner: Mike Hollibaugh,Department of Community Services:
• Presented an aerial site map
• The original rezone was proposed in 2016 for both halves;the eastern part,and the subject parcels that are up for
vote tonight.At that time,there was a lot of uncertainty.The neighbors,Plan Commission(PC),and City Council
all had concerns in how we were going to transition this residential area along Main Street.
• Since 2016,a lot has changed. The C-2 zoning now has standards in place to respect the adjacent property
owners. Landscape buffering is required when adjacent to single-family residential.
• With any redevelopment,there's always going to be questions and issues to work through.
• If this is approved,a future proposal could be made by a private investor and a public hearing would take place in
front of the PC of their proposal
Commercial Committee Recap,Alan Potasnik,Chair:
• The initial outcome of our vote was 2-2.Then a member changed their vote to make the vote to 3-1.I was the
negative vote.
• If you look at this site,there's no real plan. I believed this needs more time,and this could be privately developed.
• The Department has done a lot of work on this and my vote had no reflection on the diligent work from Staff
ICommittee Comments:
Kevin: I was the one who changed my vote so we could continue our discussion at tonight's meeting. I don't like
changing the zoning against a property owner's wishes. There's no plan. I would like to see this developed privately, if it
could,and the PC would be able to hear it again.Mike Hollibaugh: In 2016,the Council approved the rezone subject to
the commitments. Whether the commitments are amended or not,the PC will not hear this again. Once the commitments
