CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
August 15, 2006
:,~t~N6;'Q(j!!~6~ri(}R~fu''f~~~;Re~[n~_ ,7, .
e app Icant seeks to rezone 20.44 acres from S 1 to s2 to allow for low-densIty
residential development. Commitments will be filed in conjunction with this
request.
The site is located on the east side of Cherry Tree Road, south of 146th Street.
Filed by Matthew Skelton of Baker & Daniels, LLP.
The applicant is requesting to rezone 20.44 acres from S 1 Residential to S2 Residential
for the purposes of platting a proposed subdivision. Please see the informational packet
prepared by the applicant for an overview of this rezone.
This request is only for the rezoning of this property. If this rezone is approved, the
petitioner would return to the Plan Commission for Primary Plat approval. Staff feels
that discussing the proposed plat is relevant at this stage. As such the petitioner has
included the information for review.
This site is located adjacent to Cherry Creek Estates to the south and the proposed
Legacy PUD to the east. It is also near the Ashmore and Spring Creek Subdivisions.
When these surrounding subdivisions were approved, S 1 had 3 different allowable
densities (dependant upon where the site was located within the City). This area of Sl
zoning was considered "s I Low Intensity" and had a maximum base density of 1.8 units
per acre. These existing subdivisions are zoned S 1 and have 1.8 units per acre. In early
2006, the S 1 maximum density was revised to be 1 unit per acre for all areas of the City.
The proposed plat that is being requested (and committed to) with this rezone is
compatible in lot size and density with the surrounding plated subdivisions. As proposed
this plat would have 1.6 units per acre (S2 allows for a density of 2.4 units per acre).
The proposed plat complies with all other aspects of the zoning ordinance in terms of
required connectivity and open space.
The Department recommends the Plan Commission forward this item to the
September 5th Subdivision Committee Meeting for further discussion.
