Councilor Aasen asked Director Mestetsky if his next presentation could include information on how the 95
upcoming Park Impact Fee ordinance could change some of the CRC’s projects. Council President Green 96 asked how we’re doing on supplemental reserves. Director Mestetsky explained how the supplemental 97
3
reserves are used, and stated that the current state is very healthy. He said he will look at the reserves and 98 report back on that status. Councilor Taylor asked if the results of the stress test will be released. Director 99
Mestetsky stated that he will touch base with the Mayor on that and report back. Councilor Taylor also 100
shared that the weekly updates to the concerned neighbors of the upcoming 1933 Lounge had stopped, 101 and Director Mestetsky stated that they should not have stopped and that he will follow up on that. 102 103 Maria Adele Rosenfeld, President and CEO of the Carmel Christkindlmrkt, gave a report to Council. The 104
Christkindlmrkt is a 501C Non-Profit Organization. Last year, during its six-week run, the 105
Christkindlmrkt had 475,000 people in attendance. The total sales were $9.1 million. This was comprised 106 of $7,123,559.00 in vendor sales, $316,591.00 in Ice Skating sales, and $1,683,068.00 in Christkindlmrkt 107 sales. Growth from year to year is 59%. The total economic ripple effect in Hamilton County is $14 108 million, with a total economic impact of $23.1 million. The total revenue for the 2023 Christmas season 109
was $3,111,787.00. Total expenses were $2,163,465.00 for a total profit of $946,323. This is a significant 110
increase from the total profit in 2022 of $325,970.00. The Market’s digital footprint has grown as well, 111 with a total follower count of 74,450 people. The website had over 678,000 total sessions during the 112 Market’s open season, and there are 15,000 email subscribers, for a total of 2.6 million people reached on 113 social media during the Market’s open season. There were 61 entertainers who performed, for a total of 114
216 hours of stage time. The Market was also featured in the Wall Street Journal and National 115
Geographic. There are also two scholarships offered by the Christkindlmrkt. Private rentals are already 116 completely booked for the upcoming 2024 Market. In summation, 2023 was an enormously successful 117 season for the Market, and it becomes more successful every year. 118 119
Councilor Aasen asked if there has been talk of building up a reserve account, in the chance that we have 120
a year with very inclement weather or some other unforeseen hindrance to a successful market season. 121 Ms. Rosenfeld confirmed that this is something that is being discussed. Councilor Joshi commended the 122 Market on its accurate representation of an authentic German Christkindlmrkt. She also stated that she 123 looks forward to the discussion of how the city will be involved with the support of the Market going 124
forward. President Green stated that the Market has impressively grown to be more and more self-125
sufficient and that he also looks forward to the conversations regarding how the city will be subsidizing 126 the market in the future. Councilor Minnaar echoed the same sentiment. 127 128 OLD BUSINESS 129

budget. Councilor Worrell asked if this is the amount that is needed for that budget for the rest of the year. 151 Ms. Karn responded that between this amount and the amount that is being requested to move over from 152 the Marketing and Community Relations Department budget, this should fund the Economic Development 153 Department for the year.

this issue. Councilor Locke asked if this section of the ordinance would still be necessary once the entire 176 city in included in the zone improvement plan.

WHEREAS, the completion of the Projects results in the diversification of industry, the 27
creation of jobs and the creation of business opportunities in the City; 28

ORDINANCE Z-689-24 2
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARMEL, INDIANA, 3
RESTATING AND AMENDING AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH AN IMPACT FEE FOR THE 4
PURPOSE OF PLANNING AND FINANCING PARK AND RECREATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE 5
NEEDED TO SERVE NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT 6
Synopsis: 7
This ordinance renews and updates the Parks & Recreation Impact Fee Ordinance and associated 8
definitions for an additional five years from 2025-2029. 9
10
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Carmel finds that it is reasonable and necessary to protect 11
the public health, safety, comfort, morals, convenience and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Carmel 12
and Clay Township by providing for an equitable program to finance the planning, acquisition and construction of 13
park and recreational infrastructure necessary to serve newly developing areas of the City and Township; 14
WHEREAS, the Common Council further finds that it is reasonable and necessary to promote and 15
accommodate the orderly growth and development of the City and Township by establishing standards by which 16
the City may require that new development shall pay an impact fee representing such development’s 17
proportionate share of the cost of planning and financing the park and recreational infrastructure necessary to 18
serve the new development; and 19
WHEREAS, the Common Council finds that new development should not be required to pay a fee for the 20
planning and financing of such park and recreational infrastructure which is greater than the amount that existing 21
development will pay to provide the infrastructure that is needed to serve the existing development; and 22
WHEREAS, in cooperation with the Carmel/Clay Board of Parks and Recreation Board this Council 23
requested that the Director of the Department of Community Services review the appropriateness of the Impact 24
Fee, the Impact Fee Zone and the Zone Improvement Plan and if deemed necessary, prepare a proposed 25
replacement impact fee ordinance; and 26
WHEREAS, the Director of the Department of Community Services has caused such a review; and 27
WHEREAS, in consultation with a qualified engineer, the Plan Commission has prepared an amended Zone 28
Improvement Plan for the City and Township which provides for the planning and financing of the additional park 29
and recreational infrastructure necessary to serve new development in the City and Township; and 30
WHEREAS, such Zone Improvement Plan was duly approved by the Plan Commission on August 20, 2019, 31
and recommended to the Common Council along with this Ordinance; 32
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, that, 33
pursuant to IC 36-7-4-1311 and after Docket No. PZ-2024-00038 OA having received a favorable 34
recommendation from the Carmel Advisory Plan Commission on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, it hereby adopts this 35
Ordinance to amend the Carmel Unified Development Ordinance (Ordinance Z-625-17, as amended), to read as 36
follows: 37
I. Amend Section 1.30 of the Unified Development Ordinance to read: 38
A. Title: Section 1.30: Parks and Recreation Impact Fees shall be referred to and known as the Parks and 39
Recreation Impact Fee Ordinance (the “PRIF Ordinance”) for the City of Carmel, Hamilton County, 40
Indiana. 41
B. Definitions: Terms used in the Unified Development Ordinance are defined in Article 11: Definitions. 42
2
5/23/2024
C. Establishment of Impact Zone: There is hereby established one Parks and Recreation Infrastructure 43
Impact Zone, the borders of which are coterminous with the Planning Jurisdiction. In this regard, the 44
Council specifically finds that there is a functional relationship between the components of the Park 45
and Recreation Master Plan and the Zone Improvement Plan, as each is amended from time to time, 46
and that such plans will provide a reasonably uniform benefit to all of the citizens throughout the 47
Impact Zone. The Council further finds that all areas within the Impact Zone are contiguous as 48
required in IC 36-7-4-1316. Except as provided below, this PRIF Ordinance shall apply uniformly to 49
all developments within the Impact Zone hereby established for which the City may require an 50
improvement location permit and which create a need for new and additional Parks and Recreation 51
Infrastructure. This PRIF Ordinance shall not apply to: 52
1. Improvements which do not require an improvement location permit; 53
2. Improvements which do not create a need for new and additional Parks and Recreation 54
Infrastructure, including the erection of a sign, construction of accessory buildings, structures or 55
fences or the alteration, renovation or expansion of an improvement where the use, or intensity 56
thereof, has not changed; or 57
3. The replacement of a destroyed or partially destroyed improvement, provided that the replacement 58

D. Zone Improvement Plan: The Council hereby finds that, prior to the adoption of this PRIF Ordinance, 62
the Plan Commission undertook a comprehensive and detailed park and recreational impact analysis 63
and consulted with a qualified engineer, and the resulting study and data base were used in the 64
preparation of the Zone Improvement Plan as required by IC 36‑7‑4‑1318(d). The Council has 65
heretofore adopted the Zone Improvement Plan and finds in this regard that the Zone Improvement 66
Plan does contain the following elements: 67
1. Reasonable estimates relating to the nature and location of development that is expected within 68
the Impact Zone during the planning period, which, for the purposes of this PRIF Ordinance is 69
defined to be a period of ten (10) years commencing with the date of adoption hereof. 70
2. A reasonable determination of the community level of service for the Impact Zone. 71
3. A reasonable determination of the current level of service provided within the Impact Zone. 72
4. A reasonable estimate of the nature, location, sequencing, and timing of the park and recreational 73
improvements and costs necessary to provide the community level of service for the developments 74
contemplated in Section 1.30(D)(1) hereof. 75
5. A reasonable estimate of the share of the park and recreational costs identified in Section 1.30(D)(4) 76
hereof that will be used to: 77
a. Raise the current level of service for existing development or provide service to existing 78
development; or 79
b. Provide service to new development. 80
6. A reasonable estimate of revenues that: 81
a. Are from sources other than impact fees; and, 82
b. Will be used to finance the costs identified in Section 1.30(D)(5)(a) above. 83
7. A description of the nature and location of existing infrastructure in the Impact Zone. 84
8. A general description of the sources and amounts of money used to pay for infrastructure during the 85
previous five years. 86
9. A reasonable estimate of the share of the park and recreational costs identified in Section 1.30(D)(4) 87
hereof that will be used to pay the directly related expenses incurred in preparing or updating the 88
Zone Improvement Plan, as limited by IC 36‑7‑4‑1330. 89
In addition, the Council has specifically adopted the Zone Improvement Plan as an official part of the 90
Comprehensive Plan pursuant to IC 36‑7‑4‑500 et seq. 91

5/23/2024
E. Establishment of Impact Fee: Based upon the Park and Recreation Master Plan and the Zone 92
Improvement Plan previously referred to and which are hereby incorporated by reference into this PRIF 93
Ordinance, the Council determines that the impact costs, minus the sum of nonlocal revenues and 94
impact deductions (as defined in IC 36‑7‑4‑1321), do not exceed the amount of $4,882$8,275 per 95
equivalent dwelling unit, and that, therefore, the impact fee to be imposed on every development 96
subject to this PRIF Ordinance shall equal the product of: 97
1. $4,882$5,425, during months 1-12 of the effectiveness of this PRIF Ordinance; $6,029, during 98
months 13-24 of the effectiveness of this PRIF Ordinance; $6,700, during months 25-36 of the 99
effectiveness of this PRIF Ordinances; $7,446, during months 37-48 of the effectiveness of this 100
PRIF Ordinance; or $8,275, after month 48; times 101
1.2. the number of equivalent dwelling units to be constructed pursuant to the improvement location 102
permit obtained by the developer (or individual). 103
The Council does hereby make as a part of the record of these proceedings, all of the data collected, the 104
calculations made, and the conclusions reached by the Plan Commission in the process of developing 105
the Zone Improvement Plan, and specifically instructs the Director of Community Services to make 106
such data and other information inclusively available to anyone for review during regular business 107
hours. In the event that any parcel of real estate considered in the creation of the Zone Improvement 108
Plan undergoes a change in use, redevelopment, or a modification which requires an improvement 109
location permit, and creates a need for new infrastructure, an impact fee will be assessed only for the 110
increase in the burden on infrastructure. 111
F. Credit in Lieu of Payment; Exemptions: 112
1. Pursuant to IC 36‑7‑4‑1335, any developer (or individual) obligated to pay a fee pursuant to the 113
terms of this PRIF Ordinance may be granted the option of financing, constructing and dedicating 114
Parks and Recreation Infrastructure instead of making all or part of any impact fee payment 115
which may be due, so long as such financing, construction and dedication are accomplished 116
either: 117
a. Pursuant to the Zone Improvement Plan and with the consent and acceptance of the Carmel-118
Clay Board of Parks and Recreation, or 119
b. With respect to components of infrastructure or other improvements that are not included in 120
the Zone Improvement Plan, after consultation with the Director of Carmel-Clay Parks and 121
Recreation, with the initial approval by the Council, where, if desired, the Council can set a 122
percentage limit, with deviation limits, of how much credit is allocated for site improvements, 123
and with final consent and acceptance of the Board of Public Works and Safety. 124
2. The developer (or individual) providing the infrastructure or improvement, shall be allowed a 125
credit in an amount equal to the sum of: 126
a. The actual cost of constructing or providing the infrastructure or improvements, plus 127
b. The fair market value of the land, real property interests, and site improvements provided. 128
3. The amount of the credit shall be determined by agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) between the 129
person constructing or providing the infrastructure or improvement and either: 130
a. The Carmel-Clay Board of Parks and Recreation; or 131
b. The Board of Public Works and Safety, depending upon which entity is best suited to accept 132
the dedication of the infrastructure or improvement. The developer (or individual) shall make 133
a request for credit prior to the issuance of the improvement location permit. The Board of 134
Public Works and Safety shall not approve a proposed Credit Agreement if the credit allocation 135
for any site improvement(s) exceeds the percentage limit, including deviation limits, set by 136
Council, if applicable. In the event the credit is less than the amount of the impact fee due 137
pursuant to Section 1.30(E): Establishment of Impact Fee above, the remaining balance shall 138
be due in accordance with the provisions stated hereafter. 139
4. Credits against impact fees otherwise due shall be allowed pursuant to this section for all 140
infrastructure and improvements constructed or furnished in accordance with IC 36‑7‑4‑1313 and 141
4
5/23/2024
IC 36‑7‑4‑1335 since January 1, 1989. In addition, a developer (or individual) responsible for 142
installing infrastructure or improvements may designate in writing a method of allocating its 143
credits to future owners who may be successors in interest to the credits earned by the developer 144
(or individual) as part of the Credit Agreement provided for above. 145
5. Any developer (or individual) obligated to pay the fee established by this PRIF Ordinance whose 146
property was totally or partially destroyed by fire, storm or other casualty beyond his or her 147
control, shall be exempt from said fee if such developer (or individual) repairs or replaces the 148
destroyed structure without creating a burden on Parks and Recreation Infrastructure greater than 149
the burden imposed by the destroyed structure. In the event of such additional burden, the fee 150
shall be calculated based only on the increased burden created by the structure. 151
6. The Council reserves the right to conduct audits and request any information from any source 152
related to the credits approved under this section, the progress of the projects for infrastructure 153
and other improvements related thereto, and the fund (or funds) established under IC 36-7-4-1329 154
for purposes of receiving the fees collected to determine compliance with this section. 155
G. Impact Fee Due Upon Issuance of Improvement Location Permit: The impact fee imposed pursuant 156
to the terms of this PRIF Ordinance shall be due and payable upon the issuance of an improvement 157
location permit. The entire fee which is calculated pursuant to the terms of this PRIF Ordinance shall 158
be due at said time, except that an installment plan may be requested by the applicant in accordance 159
with the terms set forth in IC 36‑7‑4‑1324 (a), (b), (c), and (d). The Impact Fee Review Board shall 160
establish specific rules consistent with said code provisions for installment payments. The interest 161
rate on any installment plan or deferred payment shall be the pre-judgment rate of interest set forth in 162
the Indiana Code as from time to time amended. If a developer (or individual) requests, the amount of 163
the impact fee shall be assessed upon the voluntary submission of a development plan or upon the 164
issuance of the improvement location permit, whichever is earlier. For purposes of this section, 165
“assessment” means the act of calculating the amount of the impact fee which shall be due at said 166
time. The Director of Community Services shall make such assessment within thirty (30) days of the 167
date of such voluntary request or at the issuance of the improvement location permit with or without a 168
request. 169
H. Lien Rights Established: Pursuant to IC 36‑7‑4‑1325, the City of Carmel acquires a lien against the real 170
estate which is the subject of the impact fee. Upon adoption, this PRIF Ordinance shall be recorded, 171
and, thereafter, it shall constitute constructive notice of the lien rights of the City. The City may, in its 172
discretion, file a specific instrument setting forth its lien rights with respect to a parcel of real estate 173
which is the subject of an installment payment plan for an impact fee, and such instrument shall 174
constitute actual notice in addition to the constructive actual notice in addition to the constructive notice 175
provided for by the recording of this PRIF Ordinance. 176

J. Establishment of Impact Fee Review Board; Hearing of Appeals: There is hereby established the 189
Carmel Impact Fee Review Board. The Impact Fee Review Board shall consist of three (3) citizen 190
members, appointed by the Mayor of the City to serve for terms of four (4) years; however, for the 191
purpose of providing for staggered terms of office, the initial members of the Impact Fee Review 192
Board shall be appointed for respective terms of two (2) years, three (3) years, and four (4) years. The 193
members of the Impact Fee Review Board shall not be members of the Plan Commission and shall 194
meet the qualifications prescribed by IC 36‑7‑4‑1338(b), that is, one (1) licensed real estate broker, 195
one licensed (1) engineer, and one (1) certified public accountant. Whenever a member of the Impact 196
Fee Review Board is unable to participate in any matter before the board because of a conflict of 197
interest, the Mayor shall appoint a temporary replacement member, meeting the qualifications of the 198
member being replaced, to serve on the board for the purpose of hearing that matter only. The Impact 199
Fee Review Board shall be governed by IC 36‑7‑4‑1338(c) and all other applicable provisions of the 200
Impact Fee Statute. Any developer (or individual) who believes itself to be aggrieved by the 201
calculation of an impact fee may appeal from such calculation to the Impact Fee Review Board and 202
the Impact Fee Review Board shall conduct a hearing with regard thereto. At such hearing, the 203
developer (or individual) shall bear the burden of going forward with the evidence and shall present 204
evidence addressing either of the following propositions: 205
1. A fact assumption used in determining the amount of the impact fee is incorrect; or 206
2. The amount of the impact fee is greater than the amount allowed under IC 36‑7‑4‑1320, IC 207
36‑7‑4‑1321, and IC 36‑7‑4‑1322. 208
Upon conclusion of the presentation of evidence, the Impact Fee Review Board shall make a 209
determination within thirty (30) days, upon the facts presented and may make such adjustments in the 210
impact fee as it deems are appropriate under the circumstances, if any. An appeal under Section 1.30(J): 211
Establishment of Review Board; Hearing of Appeals shall be filed not later than thirty (30) days after 212
the issuance of the improvement location permit. The appeal shall be initiated with the filing of a 213
Petition for Review with the Director of Community Services, together with a filing fee in the amount 214
of $100. The filing fee shall be refunded in full: 215
1. If the Petition of Review is granted and the impact fee is eliminated, reduced or adjusted by the 216
Review Board, by independent action of the Director of Community Services, or by a court 217
having jurisdiction, and 218
2. If the reviewing body determines that the amount of the fee, reductions, or credits were arbitrary 219
or capricious. 220
The Petition for Review shall be in a form calculated to inform the Impact Fee Review Board of the 221
nature of the complaint, the parties to the action, and the relief requested. In addition, the petition 222
shall describe the new development on which the impact fee has been assessed, all facts related to the 223
assessment of the impact fee, and the reasons the petitioner believes that the amount of the impact fee 224
assessed is erroneous or is greater than the amount allowed by the fee limitations set forth in the 225
Impact Fee Statute. The Director of Community Services shall not deny the issuance of improvement 226
location permit on the basis that the impact fee has not been paid, or condition issuance of the permit 227
on the payment of the impact fee. 228
K. Establishment of Impact Fee Fund: There is hereby established an Impact Fee Fund as a non-reverting 229
fund, as may be designated by the Council, within the City to receive any and all sums collected 230
pursuant to this PRIF Ordinance and any other Impact Fee Ordinance that may hereafter be adopted, 231
to be utilized in connection with the purposes set forth in Section 1.30(L): Use of Impact Fees 232
Collected below. The Impact Fee Fund shall have separate line items for each project, separating the 233
sums that are received and collected by each specific project, pursuant to this PRIF Ordinance. In the 234
event, and only in the event, that an additional Impact Zone for Parks and Recreation Infrastructure is 235
created hereafter, a separate account shall be maintained for each separate Impact Zone established 236
within the City. Interest earned on any such account shall be deposited and maintained within the 237
6
5/23/2024
separate account. The Fiscal Officer shall manage the Impact Fee Fund according to the provisions of 238
the Impact Fee Statute and maintain records of the status of any such account. Pursuant to IC 239
36‑7‑4‑1329, the Fiscal Officer shall make an annual report to the Plan Commission and the Carmel-240
Clay Board of Parks and Recreation of said accounts which shall be available to the public in general 241
and developer (or individual), upon request, in particular. The right to any refund of an impact fee 242
shall be determined strictly in accordance with IC 36‑7‑4‑1332, and the Fiscal Officer is designated, 243
pursuant to IC 36‑7‑4‑1332(e), as the official responsible for acting upon any refund applications that 244
may be filed by the developer (or individual). In order to facilitate the payment of any refunds when 245
they may be due, the Fiscal Officer is directed to identify the purpose of any impact fee paid in order 246
that a refund, if any, may be paid from the account into which the fee was originally deposited. 247
L. Use of Impact Fees Collected: Any and all fees collected pursuant to the provisions of this PRIF 248
Ordinance may be utilized, subject to Council approval, only for the following purposes: 249
1. Providing funds to be utilized by the Carmel-Clay Board of Parks and Recreation, after 250
consultation with the Executive Director of Carmel Redevelopment Commission, for the purpose 251
of paying the capital costs of Parks and Recreation Infrastructure that is necessary to serve the 252
new development within the City that is identified in the Zone Improvement Plan; 253
2. An amount not to exceed five percent (5%) of the annual collections of the fees, to be utilized by 254
the Carmel- Clay Board of Parks and Recreation for expenses incurred by the Carmel-Clay Board 255
of Parks and Recreation and/or the City for the consulting services that are used with regard to the 256
establishment and maintenance of this impact fee program; 257
3. To pay any refund that may be due under IC 36‑7‑4‑1332; 258
4. To pay the debt service cost on an obligation issued to provide Parks and Recreation 259

applicable law. 261
5. Providing funds to be utilized by the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, after consultation with 262
the Director of Carmel-Clay Parks and Recreation, for the purpose of paying the capital costs of 263
Urban Parks and Recreation Infrastructure. 264
M. Conflicts with Impact Fee Statute: The Council specifically acknowledges the existence of the 265
Impact Fee Statute, which regulates the adoption of impact fee ordinances by municipal corporations 266
within the State of Indiana. It is the intent of the Council to comply with such legislation, and this 267
PRIF Ordinance shall be construed in all respects to be consistent with the Impact Fee Statute. The 268
substantive and procedural requirements of the Impact Fee Statute shall control in the event of 269
conflicts, which are unintended by the Council. 270
N. Amendments and Review: The impact fee provided for herein is based upon information that, in large 271
part, is subject to inflation and other economic and market forces over which the Council has no 272
control. The Council may, therefore, from time to time, cause a review to be made by the Director of 273
Community Services, or such consultants as may be required, to determine the continuing validity of 274
the Impact Fee, the Impact Zone, and the Zone Improvement Plan. The Council may consider and 275
adopt such amendments as are necessary to cause a substantive compliance with all constitutional and 276
statutory requirements. To the extent required by the facts and circumstances, this process shall 277
include the steps necessary to update the Zone Improvement Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. 278
O. Effective Date and Expiration Date: Pursuant to IC 36‑7‑4‑1340, this PRIF Ordinance shall be 279
effective June 1, 2020January 1, 2025, which is not earlier than six (6) months following its adoption 280
in accordance with the Impact Fee Statute, replacing the PRIF Ordinance adopted on November 3, 281
2014November 18, 2019, and wholly contained in Section 1.30: Parks and Recreation Impact Fees. 282
This PRIF Ordinance shall expire five (5) years following such effective date, and no impact fee may 283
be collected under this PRIF Ordinance after such expiration date. However, the Council may adopt a 284
replacement impact fee ordinance to take effect before, on or after such expiration date if the 285
replacement ordinance complies with the provisions of the Impact Fee Statute. 286
