Re: Docket No. 150-02 OA - Patch IV (Z-399-02)
Dear Commission Members:
Attached is the current draft of Ordinance No. Z-399-03, before you as Docket No. 150-02
OA. The current draft is one hundred four sections long, and will be longer before the Committee
meets. This being the case, I will only briefly explain the contents in this memo.
The bulk of the Ordinance is made up of a variety of clean-up items needed for consistency;
these are of little interest. Perhaps the largest program undertaken by this Ordinance is an effort to
streamline, unify, and better define the DP/ADLS process. This will better serve the public and
make the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance more user-friendly for everyone. The changes involved
in this effort are too numerous to detail here, but I look forward to outlining them for you at the
hearing and during the Committee process.
Also contained in this Ordinance are minor amendments to the Flood Ordinance that are
necessary due to the new Flood Maps that will become effective next February. There are also
amendments to the Old Town and Home Place Overlay Ordinances that are designed to make each
more readily administered and equitable.
