CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
December 20, 2005
31. Docket No. 05100008 CPA: Comp Plan Amendment - Civic Design
Policies
The applicant seeks to amend the CarmeVClay Comprehensive Plan in
order to add Civic Design policies.
Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services.
The public hearing for this item was held at the October 18, Plan Commission meeting.
No one from the public spoke in opposition. Please refer to your original packet for Civic
Design draft.
There were several concerns and questions expressed by the Commission. The main
concern was the atypical nature of this document - it is not a zoning ordnance
amendment, nor does is fit within the current format of the comprehensive plan.
At the November I st Subdivision Committee meeting this item was continued and staff
was directed to prepare a clarified intent and use of this ordinance. At the December 6th
Committee meeting staff presented a proposed adoption resolution that explains this
intent. With this draft resolution the Committee forwarded this petition with a unanimous
positive recommendation.
The Department recommends that the Plan Commission forward this item to the
City Council with a positive recommendation.
