Supply Street
Project Overview:
The site is generally located on the west side of 1st Avenue SE, between 1st Street SE and Supply Street
(former 2nd Street SE). This eastern half of the block, the subject of this rezone, is comprised of 3 different
zoning districts (R2, R3, B5) and the Old Town Overlay zone. The purpose of this proposal is to extend the C2
district, which exists on the western half of the block, to include the entire block between Range Line Road and
1st Avenue SE. This rezoning would allow for a redevelopment proposal encompassing the block to be
reviewed under a singular zoning district and process.
While no site or building plans have been filed with the Department, the City Council recently passed
Resolution CC-08-01-22-02 to allow the Carmel Redevelopment Commission to use redevelopment bond funds
to acquire the parcels in this entire block for a proposed redevelopment project.
C2 District:
The approval process in the C2 District includes review by TAC, the CRC Architectu ral Committee, and a
DP/ADLS public hearing by the Plan Commission Hearing Officer. This public hearing includes all the same
methods of public notice (publication, signs, letters) as public hearings held by the full Plan Commission.
The standards of the C2/Mixed Use District are established in Article 2, Sections 2.35 & 2.36 of the Carmel
Unified Development Ordinance. You may view the Unified Development Ordinance online by clicking on
Codes & Ordinances in the Department of Community Services’ website: www.carmeldocs.com.
Plan Commission Overview:
The Department gave an overview of the site and discussed the known site information and a previous Council
approval to acquire the parcels in this block. A few citizens shared potential site plan concerns such as setbacks,
vehicle circulation, parking, building height and landscape buffering. Questions were also raised about the C2
approval process. DOCS and Redevelopment staff reiterated that while a conceptual plan was shown for the
previous Council approval, the site design has not been completed and that these comments would be
considered when design work progresses with the developer. Staff also outlined the various steps in the C2
approval process, including the required public hearing and public notice requirements for the Development
Plan and ADLS approval. The project was sent to the Commercial Committee meeting where it was agreed that
the Redevelopment Department would arrange for a meeting between the developer and neighbors once the site
design is under way. The Commercial Committee (with final voting authority on behalf of the Plan
Commission) voted to send this proposal to City Council with a favorable recommendation.
The information in this packet is arranged in the following order:
1. Zoning Map
2. Plan Commission Certification (expires January 5, 2023).
