CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
July 20, 2004
9h. Docket No. 150-02b OA:
Amendments to the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance - Patch #4
The petitioner seeks to add new provisions to and make several corrective amendments to
the Zoning Ordinance.
Filed by the Department of Community Services.
This ordinance amendment organizes the zoning ordinance by amending and repealing items so
that the ordinance flows better. The ordinance spent several months in Committee. Due to this
fact the Department felt it was important to notice the item for public hearing again prior to
forwarding the item to the city Council for final action.
The Subdivision Committee forwarded this Ordinance back to the full Commission with a
unanimous favorable recommendation. Though this is a public hearing, the Department asks that
the Commission vote to suspend its Rules and forward this ordinance to the City Council.
There is one change; however. Due to unresolved questions relating to the Indiana Pool Code,
the Department is asking that Section fa, beginning on page 54, be removed from this Ordinance.
This amendment specifically relates to pool covers, and when they are appropriate. When
appropriate, the Department will address this amendment separately.
The Department recommends that the Plan Commission forward this item to the City
Council with a favorable recommendation.
