("Petitioner") filed its Petition under Docket No. 31-02 CPA (the "Petition") seeking an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Policies of the City of Carmel and Clay Township, in connection with the establishment of the Old Meridian - Mixed Medical (OM-MM) Zoning District; and WHEREAS, the Petition was filed as a companion to the petition filed on March 28, 2002, by Petitioner under Docket No. 32-02-Z in which Petitioner sought to rezone a portion of the Old Meridian Zoning District to the new Old Meridian - Mixed Medical (OM-MM) Zoning District; and WHEREAS, the creation of the Old Meridian - Mixed Medical (OM-MM) Zoning District is being sought to permit and facilitate the development, expansion and modernization of a major hospital complex or campus in which a diversity of hospital and health care related uses would be permitted; and WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Carmel finds it is reasonable and necessary to protect the public health, safety, comfort, morals, convenience and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Carmel and Clay Township by creating such a new zoning district to ~ ~ ~ ~ u ~ IJ U ~ ~ u ~ ~ IJ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ L- facilitate development of the Old Meridian Area, and by amending the Comprehensive Plan Policies to include the new Old Meridian-Mixed Medical (OM-MM) District. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Old Meridian Task Force Report (Comprehensive Plan Policies) be amended to include the following: MIXED MEDICAL ZONE This district is designed to permit and facilitate the development, expansion and modernization of a major hospital complex or campus in which a diversity of hospital, health care and supportive uses related thereto is necessary to best perform the hospital's various services to the public and to permit appropriate land use modifications as necessary to facilitate the highest level of such service. The primary and predominant uses in this district will be inpatient and outpatient care facilities, medical offices, rehabilitation and physical fitness facilities, long-term care facilities and other uses that focus on caring for the health needs of the community. In addition, this district will include retail uses and uses that are supportive of the aforementioned primary uses such as uses that cater to the needs of those members of the public and their families and friends who seek out the health care services offered in this district. Examples of such uses include coffee shops, cafes, delicatessens, barber shops, beauty shops, bookstores,' flower shops, gift shops and financial institutions. This district also includes uses permitted in the Single Family Attached classification ofthe OM district. As is true with all other OM districts, the Mixed Medical Zone will retain a pedestrian environment although it is recognized that such environment may be minimized relative to other OM districts in acknowledgment of the needs of the community for the safe and efficient flow of emergency vehicles as well as the need for generally good vehicular access for patients, visitors and other users in this district traveling to and from the hospital and other buildings in this district. In order to harmonize with all other OM districts, parking will be located primarily in the rear and side yards of building sites; however, some parking will be permitted in front yards as long as the same are appropriately screened through use of landscaped buffer strips and areas. Curb cuts should be located primarily with the goal of satisfying the needs of emergency vehicles and for ease of vehicular access to buildings used by people in need of health care services. The size and architectural design of buildings in this district will be flexible to accommodate the varied sizes of buildings typically located in and about a large hospital campus. In general, the designs shall be harmonious with the other design standards located in other OM districts, but will also be transitional in nature between the hospital located north of the OM district and the office, mixed use and special use districts that border the Mixed Medical Zone to the south. 2 u CJ U U I:J ~ U U U U U [:J U I II ~ Ii ~ U U rJ I:J U U Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana this , 2002, by a vote of _ ayes and _ nays. day of Wayne Wilson, President, Common Council John Koren Robert Battreall Kevin Kirby Luci Snyder Ronald E.
