From: Adrienne Keeling
Re: Ordinance Z-684-23
154 W. Carmel Drive C1 Rezone
Enclosed is the information packet for the following item, including Site Location and Zoning Maps. If you
have any questions, please contact me at akeeling@carmel.in.gov.
Forwarded with a favorable recommendation from Carmel Plan Commission:
Ordinance Z-684-23 (Docket No. PZ-2023-00185 Z: 154 W Carmel Drive C1 Rezone)
The applicant seeks to rezone the parcel located at 154 W Carmel Drive from the I1/Industrial District
within the Range Line Road Overlay to the C1/City Center District. The site is generally located at the
northeast corner of Carmel Drive and the Monon Greenway. Filed by the Department of Community
Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission.
Proposal: Rezone 3.3 acres from the I1 Industrial District within the Range Line Road Overlay to
the C1 City Center District.
Address: 154 W. Carmel Drive, Carmel, IN 46032
Parcel ID: 16-09-36-00-00-031.000
Site Location Map
N Veterans Way Carmel Drive Range Line Rd
Rezone Explanation:
The purpose of this proposal is to better position the real estate for future redevelopment consistent with other
walkable mixed-use developments along the Monon Greenway, as well as the Proscenium which is located east
of this site.
The current building will continue to remain for the foreseeable future as there are no specific plans or a
timeline for redevelopment. Once a specific development is proposed, a public hearing for a Development Plan
(DP) and ADLS will be held by the Plan Commission Hearing Officer with the same methods of public notice
required for Plan Commission public hearings, including newspaper publication, letters to adjoining property
owners, and a public hearing sign on the property. Any redevelopment proposal would also be subject to TAC
review and Carmel Redevelopment Commission approval.
C1 District:
The C1 District was proposed instead of C2 because of the proximity to other C1-zoned land between the Monon
Greenway and Range Line Road. See an excerpt of the zoning map below.
The standards of the C1/City Center District are established in Article 2, Sections 2.33 & 2.34 of the Carmel
Unified Development Ordinance. You may view the Unified Development Ordinance and Zoning Maps online
by clicking on Zoning Map & Tools in the Department of Community Services’ website: www.carmeldocs.com.
