The applicant seeks to Amend Chapter 3: Definitions; Chapter 5: S-lIResidence District;

Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services.
The Department of Community Services seeks to amend the Subdivision Control and Zoning
Ordinances. This patch makes some alterations that have been requested over the past few
months. Please see the original information packet for full details. The public hearing for this
item was held at the December 20, 2005, Plan Commission Meeting. Several people raised
concerns with certain sections of the amendment - specifically the language regarding mining,
and the sections that alter permitted retail uses north of 106th Street within the 421 Overlay Zone.
Staff feels that each section should be discussed in detail, and possibly sent forward separately
(or in groups) as they are approved. If it is the desire of the Subdivision Committee, some of
these proposed amendments can be sent to the Special Studies Committee for further discussion
and resolution. Given that this is the only item on this month's Subdivision Committee agenda,
staff felt like an initial review could take place at this committee meeting.
The Department recommends that the Subdivision Committee approve the request after all
comments and concerns have been addressed. Staff does not expect this item to move
forward until it is fully discussed by committee members and additional input is heard by
staff and stakeholders.
Note: The item only requires approval by committee.
