CARMEL HOME PLACE SUBAREA PLAN 3
Introduction
Carmel adopted its current Comprehensive Plan in
December 2022. A critical component of that Plan
is to create Subarea Plans to provide a localized
understanding of needs and opportunities, while
articulating the community’s vision to help guide
decisions around future growth and investment.
The subarea boundary for the Home Place plan was
guided by the development pattern areas mapped
in the Comprehensive Plan.
While the Home Place Subarea Plan describes the
context and proposed recommendations for City
of Carmel leaders and staff, a companion plan was
created to expand on the City’s role and provide
ways for Home Place community members to have
an active role in shaping incremental changes over
the next 10 years.
“This Is Home” is accessible online at
ThisIsHomePlace.com. It establishes a broadly
supported vision, provides a place identity for the
106th & College commercial area, launches a new
Indiana Main Street organization to guide how the
identity is experienced, and coordinates short and
long-term improvements for the business district
and surrounding neighborhoods. The overall goal
shared by both plans is to create a thriving place for
all community members.

Summary

JULY 2025
CARMEL HOME PLACE SUBAREA PLAN 55Planning Summary | Growth Strategy | Design & Policy Guidance | Subarea Plan | Appendix
Home Place Subarea Plan (2009)
Adoption of this 2025 Home Place Subarea Plan will replace the
2009 version, included in the 2009 Carmel Clay Comprehensive
Plan. Described as a town-like enclave undergoing redevelopment
pressures, the plan suggests key strategies for improving street
connections, supporting a neighborhood-serving business district, and
designing intentional transitions between varying development.
Carmel Comprehensive Plan (2022)
Focuses on refining growth goals for the next 10 years. The Carmel
Comprehensive Plan 2022 has 9 objectives, including managing
community form, enhancing economic vitality, fostering a city of
neighborhoods, reinforcing adaptability, cultivating community
character, lightening Carmel’s environmental footprint, supporting
healthful living, and improving mobility options and functionality.
Carmel Mayor’s Housing Task Force Findings and
Recommendations Report (2024)
In September 2024, the Mayor’s Housing Task Force published a
report that describes five key challenges to providing housing. Several
recommendations were provided, including: Protect existing single-
family neighborhoods; Facilitate development of missing middle
housing; Prioritize infill and redevelopment of underutilized areas;
Acquire more green space; Assess zoning; Establish a Home Repair
Program; Publish relevant maps and data, and more.
Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan
The 2025-2029 Master Plan serves to guide the management and
development of the park system for the next 5+ years to ensure
continued high-quality experiences and services for the community.
Relevant to Home Place, the plan includes efforts for maintaining the
Monon Greenway, Central Park, Hishaw Park, and Lenape Trace Park.
Future analysis will be needed to consider the potential for a new
neighborhood-scaled nature park in Home Place.
City of Carmel Transit Implementation Strategy (2025)
Building on the 2020 Carmel Transit Study, on-demand transit service
is recommended city-wide as a short-term initiative. This will provide
access to all destinations in Carmel. Long-term, the feasibility for fixed
route connections will be explored along Pennsylvania Street/Parkway
and Westfield Boulevard.
City of Carmel Positioning Strategy (2023)
The Positioning Strategy provides recommendations to help Carmel
adapt to national and regional economic trends. A relevant takeaway
is the demand towards mixed-use, amenity-rich districts outside of
Downtown, suggesting potential for districts like 106th & College.
Another is the role of the city to invest in high-quality amenities and
upgrades to auto-centric corridors including 96th Street. Keeping
Carmel accessible for workers to live in is additionally relevant to Home
Place whose community members largely support this.

Place Identity Purpose
Home Place’s identity, anchored by the 106th &
College district, embodies a deep pride in its natural
surroundings, a commitment to sustainable growth,
and a strong sense of stewardship among its residents.
Its distinctive brand colors, messaging, and illustrative
elements are carefully crafted to reflect its unique
characteristics, celebrating the deep-rooted pride in
place and the cherished local small businesses that
form the heart of the district. This identity seeks to
capture the essence of Home Place as a comfortable,
quiet, and green community that maintains a
welcoming, small-town feel, fostering genuine
connections among neighbors.

with plans to grow to 9. It is a working board, where
volunteers are responsible for fundraising, marketing
& events, placemaking, and business development.
Collaboration with community partners, including
the City of Carmel and Clay Township, will be key to
achieving tasks outlined in the 106th & College, Inc.
12-month Action Plan.
Mission
Promote and support the growth of the 106th & College
business district.
Vision
The 106th & College business district is a beloved piece

CARMEL HOME PLACE SUBAREA PLAN 10Planning Summary | Growth Strategy | Design & Policy Guidance | Subarea Plan | Appendix
Investing in the Heart of Home Place
The growth and vitality of Home Place’s business
district is the priority for the community. A cohesive and
walkable area centered around the intersection of 106th
Street and College Avenue is envisioned to enhance the
neighborhood experience and by making it a better
version of itself. This will be achieved through strategic
improvements led by the new 106th & College, Inc.,
the City, and property owners focusing on enhancing
streetscapes, storefronts, and connectivity. Short-
term efforts will lay the groundwork with community
organizing, planning policies, events, beautification
initiatives, and funding mechanisms, while long-term
goals aim to attract new amenities, support businesses,
and positively impact broader community initiatives
by leveraging the connection of major trail networks to
increase the district’s visibility and accessibility.
Set the Vision
JULY 2025
CARMEL HOME PLACE SUBAREA PLAN 11Planning Summary | Growth Strategy | Design & Policy Guidance | Subarea Plan | Appendix
Focus on the First 16 Feet
A primary objective is to improve the experience of
walking around, visiting, and living near the intersection
of 106th Street and College Avenue. Significant
investment has been made in College Avenue as a
street corridor. The work that remains should focus on
completing that project with pedestrian enhancements
and beautification while supporting property and
business owner improvements that contribute to and
interact with the reconstructed street.
The City-led and partner supported enhancements
will ideally include new signage, plantings, fixtures,
and lighting within the right-of-way. These should
be supported by property-owner led enhancements
including improved front patios, gardens, and
storefronts that face out onto the sidewalk and street.
This zone of improvement is called the First 16 Feet. A
new grant program is recommended to support the
district’s efforts to enhance this zone.
Enhance the Experience
JULY 2025
CARMEL HOME PLACE SUBAREA PLAN 12Planning Summary | Growth Strategy | Design & Policy Guidance | Subarea Plan | Appendix
Short-Term Initiatives
A short-term pocket park was created on City-owned
property in May 2025 to test how the vacant space at
the northwest corner of the intersection functions as
a public park. Continued collaboration between the
City and 106th & College Inc. will be necessary to fine-
tune park maintenance and determine its long-term
future. The park has potential for a food truck patio or
collection of small retail sheds.
Supporting routine events in the district will not only
benefit existing community members and strengthen
resident and business relationships, it will naturally
draw attention to the vacant and underutilized spaces
that have potential to be transformed into new housing,
office, and retail spaces.
The newly installed hawk sculpture at the 106th &
College roundabout along with light pole banners
showcasing the new 106th & College brand has
created a desire for more beautification. Additional
plantings, branded wayfinding, street trees, and facade
improvements would go a long way toward celebrating
the community while improving the visual cohesion of
the district.
Activate the Business District
JULY 2025
CARMEL HOME PLACE SUBAREA PLAN 13Planning Summary | Growth Strategy | Design & Policy Guidance | Subarea Plan | Appendix
Long-term Possibilities
To support community-aligned improvements, efforts
should focus on attracting new amenities such as
sit-down restaurants, expanded food and beverage
options, and retail. New residential within the district
will be needed to support local businesses. Thoughtful
infill development on vacant or underutilized properties
should be encouraged to enhance the area while
preserving its existing character. A public process to
create pre-approved building types should guide new
construction that is appropriate in scale and character.
Routine community events and programs should
continue to be supported to foster vibrancy. Improving
physical connectivity is also key. Leveraging the new
106 Trail between the Monon and Nickel Plate trails to
increase visibility and access to the business district
should be a high priority.
Financial tools like the creation of Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) districts in the business core and at
the former Orchard Park School site can help reinvest
growth into public benefits. Additionally, a dedicated
106th & College Building Improvement and Business
Development Fund could offer forgivable loans of up
to $25,000 to support lasting physical upgrades and
attract new businesses.
Invest in Long-Term Vitality
JULY 2025
CARMEL HOME PLACE SUBAREA PLAN 14Planning Summary | Growth Strategy | Design & Policy Guidance | Subarea Plan | Appendix
Standards for New Streets &
Buildings
Design Home Place Building Standards
A Home Place specific set of pre-approved building
plans should be a high-priority follow-up to the
adoption of this Plan. The City of South Bend can be
looked at as a relevant case study. The South Bend
Neighborhood Infill catalog provides housing types
relevant in size and character to Home Place. Additional
building plans that cater to village-scale retail and
commercial uses should be studied and incorporated.
Establish Home Place Street Standards
To guide future infrastructure and street-related
investments in Home Place, two new typologies
appropriate to the Home Place context should be
incorporated into Carmel’s Thoroughfare Plan and other
relevant references. This will provide more walkable
connectivity throughout Home Place over time while
maintaining the existing street character.

High on the list of community supported initiatives
is identifying and establishing a neighborhood-scale
green space / nature park that provides naturalized
trails and passive recreation opportunities.
Strengthening the business district as described
throughout this Subarea Plan is critical to enhancing
the overall Home Place experience.
Existing vacant parcels (highlighted on the map) and
underutilized properties are potential opportunities for
infill development.
The future 106 Trail presents an exciting connectivity
opportunity for Home Place community members.
Ongoing communication about the future of the
former Orchard Park School site, and any opportunities
for community members to contribute input, is highly
desired. SUNRISE ON SUNRISE ON

configurations and designates all rights-of-way based
on how they function today. This is not to suggest
changes are needed, but rather to articulate the

near-term feasibility for future pedestrian-
scale development and community
amenities that could be located in a variety
of vacant/underutilized places within the
district. Concepts on privately-held land
will be property-owner driven. Right-of-
way elements, including street trees, will
be City implemented.
