CARMEL/CLA YPLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
July 15, 2003
7h. Docket No. 39-02 OA, 40-02 OA
Amendments to the CarmeJlClay Zoning Ordinance -
Use Table Adoption & DefinItions Amendment (Text Amendments)
The petitioner seeks to make amendments to the structure of the Ordinance relating to
uses. add definitions and group all definitions into Chapter three ofthe Ordinance.
Filed by the DepartIllent of Community Services.
The Subdivision Committee forwards these items to the full plan commission with 6-0 favorable
recommendations.
The Department recommends that the full Plan Commission forward both 39-02 OA and
40-02 OA to the City Council with a favorable recommendations.
Background:
This proposed amendment was introduced last summer. Due to increased workloads the
Department was not able to make the. final corrections/modifications for the comInittee to review.
Once forwarded by the committee the Department will put the proposal in ordinance format for
presentation to the City Council for final action.
The proposed table would relocate and replace the use information contained within the entire
ordinance. This will make the proc<::ss of identifying uses permitted within the different zones
much more efficient. In addition it will allow the Plan CommiSSIon and Department to conduct
further review and revision to the table to assure the appropria,te uses are permitted within each
zone. At this point we have identified all uses. grouped redundant uses :into fewer categories, and
ensured that there are clear definitions for each and every use categery. Few changes have been
made to the uses permitted linder the current ordinance other than housekeeping related to
grouping efuses and the establishment of new definitions. In addition to providing definitions
for each use, we propose to move all defInitions within the ordinance to the Definitions Chapter.
