Forwarded with a favorable recommendation from Carmel Plan Commission:
Ordinance Z-685-23 (Docket No. PZ-2023-00186 Z: 988 3rd Avenue SW C1 Rezone)
The applicant seeks to rezone the parcel located at 988 3rd Avenue SW from the I1/Industrial District to
the C1/City Center District. The site is generally located at the northeast corner of 3rd Avenue SW and
Gradle Drive. Filed by the Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan
Commission.
Proposal: Rezone 5.5 acres from the I1 Industrial District to the C1 City Center District.
Address: 988 3rd Ave SW, Carmel, IN 46032

Rezone Explanation:
The purpose of this proposal is to expand the walkable mixed-use development pattern found in Carmel City
Center and surrounding the Civic Square campus. This site, adjacent to the Monon Greenway and Carmel City
Center is a next logical step in continuing this walkable mixed-use development momentum.
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 this site is directly adjacent to other C1-zoned land in the
Carmel City Center area. 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.
