CARMEL/CLAY PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
February19,209t~
8i. 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.
The Public Hearing for this item was held on January 15th at which time the Commission
forwarded the item to the special Studies Committee. The Committee discussed the item at their
February 5th meeting and forwarded the item back to the full Plan Commission with a favorable
recommendation.
The Department recommends that the Plan Commission forward the text amendment to
the City Council with a favorable recommendation.
Background information:
This set of amendments to the Zoning Ordinance encompasses a number of unrelated topics as
follows:
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 Cannel/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, ~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-2/01d 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. Subsecti9n be
repeals language regarding setbacks on Reverse Interior Lots that becomes moot with the adoption
--. ..
v.:
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.
Twelfth, ~ap, ~aq, and ~ar amend the SR 431IKeystone 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
26.2.17per ~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.
