Iii Staff seeks to expand the Carmel Drive - Range Line Road overlay to include 30 additional parcels. The purpose of this ordinance is to expand the boundary of the Carmel Drive - Range Line Road Overlay Zone north of Old Town to include parcels along Range Line Road from US 31 to just south of 136th Street. The draft zoning map amendment ordinance includes parcel numbers and a location map of the proposed expanded boundary. The public hearing for this item was held at the January 17th Plan Commission meeting. There was one person that spoke in opposition. The Plan Commission requested additional information on how this amendment would affect current owners in terms of expansions, maintenance, and new construction. This amendment only increases the overlay boundary to include additional parcels, and as such it will be regulated by the same text from the current Range Line Road I Carmel Drive Overlay Zone (Chapter 23F). Maintenance and upkeep of properties is permitted with the provision that such maintenance and upkeep adheres to existing approved DP/ADLS plans. Structures that are destroyed through an act of nature or accident can be rebuilt as they were previously approved. Proposed expansions that exceed 50% or changes to elevations would require DP Amendment and ADLS review respectively. Such expansions or changes would be required to meet the applicable overlay ordinance sections. New construction and site redevelopment would be required to meet the entirety of the ordinance. This item was forwarded back to the Plan Commission with a unanimous positive recommendation from the Subdivision Committee meeting on February 7th. The Department recommends that the Plan Commission forward this item to the City Council with a positive recommendation.
