Got it and it looks great, , ,except for the Council President's signature should now read Wayne Wi/son and Kevin Kirby's
name should then be placed in alpha order. I've attached a copy of what the new signature sheet should look like. I've
made this slight change to your Ordinance. Will copies be forthcoming? Thank you very much, you do a great job!

Re:
Docket Nos. 132-01 OA and 160-01 OA
Patch II
Dear Commission Members:
What follows is a brief description of the changes encompassed in two Ordinance
Amendments proposed by the Department of Community Services:
Docket No. 132-01 OA:
This Ordinance Amendment makes changes to two sections of the Subdivision Control
Ordinance. The first amends Section 6.3.6 in order to resolve a conflict with the Comprehensive
Plan. The language in the Subdivision Control Ordinance requires that right-of-way and roadway
widths shall conform to the TIloroughfare Plan, then cites standards that were adopted in 1980, and
no longer reflect the current standards. The new language would eliminate the need to amend this
Section of the Ordinance every time the Thoroughfare Plan is amended.
The second amends Section 8.9: Sidewalks, re-titling it Section 8.9: Alternative
Transportation, and amending the language of the Section accordingly. These changes better
reflects the current standards of Carmel/Clay in terms of sidewalks, multi-use paths, and shared
paths, where sidewalks alone used to be the standard.
Docket No. 160-01 OA:
This amendment to the Zoning Ordinance encompasses a number of unrelated topics:
First, ~a would require that all projects and improvements be designed against either
existing or proposed right-of-way, whichever is greater. Subsection c amends the definition of
"SETBACK" to reflect this requirement. This will save Carmel/Clay and property' owners
unnecessary headaches in the future.

317/571-2417
o
o

"
Second, ~b condenses the defInition of "HOME OCCUPATION." The standards currently
set forth therein will be relocated to Section 25.18: Home Occupation per ~ay of this amendment.
Third, ~d repeals the defInition of "SERVICE STATION," which is identical to the
defInition of "AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATION," and is, therefore, redundant.
Fourth, ~e amends the defInition of "FRONT YARD" to more accurately utilize other terms
defIned in the Ordihance. '1
Fifth, ~f rep~alsJhe standards for Accessory Buildings and Uses found in the S-l/Residence
and subsequently cr~ss-referenced by each Residence district in turn. These standards are removed
to Section 25.1: Accessory Buildings and Uses; 1: Residential Districts per ~av. Subsection g, ~h,
~i, ~j, ~k, ~l, ~n, ~p, ~t, ~w, ~y, ~ab, ~ad, ~ah, ~ai, ~aj, ~ak, and ~ao have been amended to
include cross-references to either Section 25.1.1: Residential Districts or Section 25.1.2: Business,
Industrial, and Manufacturing Districts as appropriate. Subsection ag, ~am, and ~an adopt the
cross-reference for the B-8/Business, C-l/City Center, and C-2/0Id Town Districts while retaining
language unique to those Sections. Subsection as and ~bb repeal language moved to Section
25.1.1 per ~av. Subsection au repeals language moved to Section 25.1.2 per ~av. Subsection be
repeals language regarding setbacks on Reverse Interior Lots that becomes moot with the adoption
of the amended Section 25.1.
Sixth, ~m, ~o, and ~x add ADLS as a requirement for the B-l/, B-2/, and B-5/Business
Districts.
Seventh, ~q adds both Development Plan and ADLS requirements to the B-3/Business
District. These replace the Special Use requirement, which is amended per ~r and ~s.
Eighth, ~u and ~z renumber Sections 15.0.2: and 17.0.2: Minimum Tract Requirements to
Sections 15.0.3 and 17.0.3, respectively. Subsection v and ~aa then utilize the vacant Section
15. 0.2 and 17. O. 2 as the Plan Commission Approval section. As a Planned District, both
Development Plan and ADLS are presently required in the B-4/Business District; the amendment
maintains parallelism between the B-4 District and the other Business Districts, and also explicitly
states the ADLS requirement without need to cross-reference Chapter 24: Planned Districts to
discover it. ADLS will be a new requirement for the B-6/Business District. Subsection 18.0.2
Ninth, ~ac explicitly states the currently existing Development Plan and ADLS
requirements of the B-7/Business District.
Tenth, ~ae and ~af switch the numbering of Sections 19.0.2: Tract Requirements and
Section 19.0.3: Plan Commission Approval of the B-8/Business District in order to maintain
parallelism among the construction of the Business Districts. No new requirements are adopted.
Eleventh, ~al amends the C-l/City Center District to require ADLS approval for any
development in the City Center Zone. Current language only requires ADLS approval in
conjunction with a rezone initiated by the City of Carmel.
Page 2
ONE CIVIC SQUARE
CARMEL, INDIANA 46032
317/571-2417
:~
~
u
Twelfth, ~ap, ~aq, and ~ar amend the SR 431/Keystone Avenue Overlay in order to excuse
residentially zoned and used property from filing for ADLS approval. The 30-foot bufferyard is
still a requirement of all properties, though the minimum front yard for residential property is
reduced to thirty (30) feet from 120'. The amendment also deals with the question of those
properties on which both the US 31 and SR 431 Overlays exist, giving preference to the
requirements of the US 31 Overlay.
Thirteenth, ~at and ~bd repeal language moved to Section 25.19: Automobile Filling and
Automobile Service Stations per ~az.
Fourteenth, ~aw amends Section 25.12.1(7) in order to excuse satellite dishes 24" or less
from the permitting requirement. All other standards still apply.
Fifteenth, ~ax adopts setback language into Section 25.13.1 that is being removed from
Section 26.2.17 per ~bh.
Sixteenth, ~ba amends Section 26.2.2 regarding Comer Lots, adopting language being
repealed from Section 26.2.13 per ~bc.
Seventeenth, ~bf addresses setback requirements for lots with access easements located on
them.
Finally, ~bg addresses conflicts within the Zoning Ordinance, and reformats Section 31.3.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

"~Ill~
Roger,
The Amendment actually has no effect on enforcement. The Zoning Ordinance already requires compliance with the
Thoroughfare Plan. The purpose of this amendment is to eliminate any confusion. As the Thoroughfare Plan has been
amended over the years, those Sections of the Subdivision Regulations dealing with rights-of-way and pavement/roadway
width should have been amended simultaneously. With the language we're proposing, the Thoroughfare Plan essentially
replaces the table in the SCO.
Hope that clarifies.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

Laurence,
Ordinance looks fine. I do have a question on enforcement. If a
subdivision is already under way and this is passed will they now have
to follow the new ordinance or will they be grand fathered in to allow
them to follow the old ordinance? I just want to make sure
builders/developers have consistency within their subdivisions and not
have the rules change on them in the middle process. Let me know your
thoughts. Thanks, Roger.
