CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023
2. Docket No. PZ-2023-00166 OA: HOA Rental Restrictions Amendment
The applicant seeks to amend the Unified Development Ordinance in order to require that Owners
Association governing documents allow changes to rental restrictions with a simple majority vote of the
members. Filed by the Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission.
Project Overview: Please view the informational packet for the proposed ordinance amendment.
Additional notes about the proposed Ordinance:
We are not aware of any Carmel neighborhoods where a significant number of homes have been purchased as
out-of-state investment rentals, but it is a growing concern in neighboring communities. This proposal is
intended to simply give homeowners, through their owners’ associations, more control over their own
circumstances by making it easier to restrict rentals if they so desire.
Recommendation:
The Department of Community Services recommends the Plan Commission sends this item to the Residential
Committee with final voting authority.
