CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
February 21, 2006
IIH. Docket No. 06020005 OA: Michigan Rd OverlaylUse Table Amendment
The applicant seeks to amend the Zoning Ordinance in order to amend the
development standards in Zoning Ordinance Chapter 23C and to amend the
Schedule of Uses in Appendix A.
Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services.
This is the proposed draft ordinance amendment which the Commission requested to be
severed from a previous proposal (Patch VI). The ordinance proposes zoning ordinance
amendments of the following nature:
CHAPTER 23C: US 421 - MICHIGAN RD OVERLAY ZONE
1. Limit retail uses to 75% of the gross floor area of projects in B-3 located north of
106th Street.
2. Allow residential uses up to 50% of a project's gross floor area in the overlay.
3. Require each lot to contain a building with a minimum of 2,500 s.f of gross floor
area.
4. Establish a maximum gross floor area of 85,000 square feet north of 106th Street.
APPENDIX A: SCHEDULE OF USES
1. Remove uses including Surgery Center, Urgent Care, Cafe, Delicatessen and
Coffee Shop; they are only listed as "permitted" in the Old Meridian/Mixed
Medical District. In a previous re-organization of Appendix A, many uses were
consolidated into General Retail, General Service, Clinic or Medical Health
Center, etc., and these should have been done at that time. (pp. 2 & 3)
2. Allow General Retail in the B-5 to accommodate existing uses. (pg. 3)
3. Allow General Service in the B-5 and OM/MM to accommodate existing uses.
(pg. 3)
4. Allow Restaurants, without drive-thru in the B-7 and M-3 to accommodate
existing uses. (pg. 4)
5. Move Commercial Parking Lot use from Miscellaneous to Transp. & Comm.
Category. (pg. 5)
6. Add Private Parking Area as an accessory use in the Transp. & Comm. Category.
(pg. 6)
The Department recommends that this item be forwarded to the SubdivisioneCommittee on March 7, 2006, for further discussion.
