CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
FEBRUARY 18, 2025
Docket No. PZ-2024-00028 PUD: Towne 146 PUD Rezone.
The applicant seeks PUD rezone approval to allow a new neighborhood consisting of 50 single-family
homes. The site is located at 2275 W 146th Street and is zoned S-1/Residence. Filed by Jim Shinaver
and Jon Dobosiewicz of Nelson & Frankenberger on behalf of Lennar Homes of Indiana, LLC.
Update:
The Towne 146 PUD is coming back to the Plan Commission with a few amendments from the City Council.
The project received a 6-1 favorable recommendation from the Plan Commission and then went through the public
hearing process with the City Council. At one of the Council’s Land Use Committee meetings, they discussed
the number of townhomes proposed. The petitioner was asked if they could reduce the number of townhomes
and provide more single-family detached homes. The petitioner made some revisions to the concept plan and
removed all of the townhomes. Now, the maximum number of dwellings allowed is 50 (down from 87), and only
single-family dwellings are permitted. They are also only going to be providing one connection (instead of 2)
across the frontage road to the path along 146th Street. Most of the other requirements in the PUD stayed the
same. Please see the amended PUD and Concept Plan.
Because amendments were made to the PUD by the Council, the proposal is being returned to the Plan
Commission for consideration. The Plan Commission may approve the amendments and the ordinance would go
into effect as approved by Council. The Plan Commission may also disapprove the amendments and the PUD
would go back to the Council for another vote, where they could vote to confirm their amendments and the
ordinance would go into effect as approved by Council.
Recommendation:
The Department of Community Services recommends the Plan Commission votes to Approve the amendments.
