Docket No. 38-02 OA; Amendments to the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance The petitioner seeks to add new provisions and make several corrective amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Filed by the Department of Community Services. Please refer to the proposed ordinance amendment (see attached). This set of amendments to the Zoning Ordinance encompasses a number ofumelated topics: First, sa amends a scrivener's en"or in Chapter 20E: C-l/City Center District regarding the maximum height requirement for Sh1.1ctmes adjacent to residential uses and zones. The maximum height requirement is intended to be forty-five (45) feet. Second, Sb eliminates the clause in Chapter 23B: US Highway 31/Meridian Street Overlay Zone District that currently allows office and hotel uses regardless ofunderl)1.ng zoning. Third, ~c, d & f, extend the build~to line and building height requirements of Chapter 23B: US Highway 31/Meridian Street Overlay Zone District to prope11ies along 1-465, Pennsylvania Parkway and Melidian Comers Boulevard. Fourth, ~e makes a stl1.lctural amendment to the setback language of Chapter 23B: US Highway 31/Meridian Street Overlay Zone District that does not affect content. Finally, Sg clarifies language in Section 26.2.7 originally adopted as part of Ordinance Nos. Z-327 and Z-329 (ROSa If). The language addresses fa<;ade-offset requirements for residential structures on lots taking advantage of the relaxed front yard setbacks allowed under the Residential Open Space Ordinance. The Department recommends that the Subdivision Committee forward these items back to the full Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation after any concerns bave been addressed.
