CARMEL/CLAY PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
January 15, 2001
7i. Docket No. 160-01 OA; Amendments to the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance
The petitioner seeks to add new provisions and make several corrective amendments to
the Zoning Ordinance.
Filed by the Department of Community Services.
Please refer to the information distributed last week with the tentative agenda and other
informational packets. Please take time to review these amendments and call or forward any
questions to the Department prior to the meeting so we may be prepared to address any questions
at the meeting.
This set of amendments 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.
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 Ordinance.
Fifth, ~f repeals the standards for Accessory Buildings and Uses found in the S-l/Residence and
subsequently cross-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, ~I, ~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-2/01d 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-lI, 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
17.0.2 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-lICity 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.
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 3D-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
26.2.17per ~bh.
Sixteenth, ~ba amends Section 26.2.2 regarding Corner 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.
The Department recommends that the Plan Commission forward this item to the Special
Studies Committee for further review and discussion.

Re: Ordinance No. Z-366-01
Docket No. 76-01b OA
Dear Council Members:
Due to the fact that ninety days had passed since the Carmel/Clay Plan Commission
Secretary had certified the Plan Commission's Favorable recommendation on August 30, 2001,
Ordinance No. Z-366-01 became effective Wednesday, November 28, 2001. IC 36-7-4-607 (e)
(3) provides that, "If the legislative body fails to act on the proposal within ninety (90) days after
certification, it takes effect as if it had been adopted (as certified) ninety (90) days after
certification. "
As you are aware, the Department of Community Services had been working with the Land
Use & Annexation Committee to amend the Ordinance for reconsideration by the Plan
Commission. Due to this unusual turn of events, the Department will be asking the Plan
Commission to include those revisions as part of the proposal currently before them as Docket No.
160-01 OA, and which will come before you in turn as Ordinance No. Z-369-02.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (317) 571-2417.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

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 1110roughfare 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.

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.
'i
Third, ~d repeals the definition of "SERVICE STATION," which is identical to the
definition of "AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATION," and is, therefore, redundant.
F ourth, ~e amends the definition of "FRONT YARD" to more accurately utilize other terms
defined in the Ordinance.
Fifth, ~f repeals the standards for Accessory Buildings and Uses found in the S-l/Residence
and subsequently cross-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 17.0.2 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.
