July 15th Plan Commission meeting - Docket No. 08060001 OA
Enclosed is the information packet for the following item. If you have any questions, please give me a
call at 571-24] 7.
Docket No. 08060001 OA: Monon & Main PUD Amendment
The applicant seeks approval to amend Ordinance Z-462-04 Manon & Main PUD Ordinance
for the purpose of allowing non-residential uses on upper floors in the Primary Area. The site
is located at the intersection of Main Street & yd A venue NW and is zoned PUD. Filed by
the Department of Community Services, on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission.
July 1st PC Committee Discussion:
At the July 151 Subdivision Committee meeting, the committee voted 3-0 to send the Ordinance
Amendment back to Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation after some additional
amendments were made to the Ordinance. These amendments include the elimination of 21 uses
listed in Exhibit B (pg 17) and the addition of the requirement that all non-residentially used
units in the Primary Area shall maintain the appearance and functionality of a two (2) car garage.
These additional amendments are highlighted in yellow in the attached draft.
June 17 PC Discussion:
At the June 17 Plan Commission meeting, a couple of suggestions were raised by the
Commission. The first suggestion was that garages, if converted, should maintain their
appearance as a garage trom the outside. The second suggestion was to eliminate some of the
"impractical" uses listed in Exhibit B (pg 17). Examples given included carnivals, golf course,
and shooting gallery.
Background:
The Manon & Main PUD Ordinance was adopted in 2004, which set the framework for an
attached residential townhome development, including the option for ground floor retail
storefronts along Main Street in an area referred to as the Primary Area (pg. 19). More
specifically, a list of Primary Area permitted uses was included in the PUD Ordinance (pg 17),
which were limited Lo the first Door of any LivelWork Dwelling.

Now that Manon & Main is well under construction and with most of the Primary Area units
complete, there has been much interest in allowing Primary Area permitted uses to occur in
garages and on upper floors. In fact, four units have successfully petitioned the BZA for
variances to allow expansion into garages and/or upper floors. Three more petitions are pending
and another is waiting to file pending the outcome of this proposal.
Given the fact that so many variances have been granted, the City feels it is appropriate to amend
the PUD Ordinance to allow this practice to continue without petitioning the Board. Four
sections of the PUD Ordinance are affected by this proposal, they are:
. 2.13 (B), Pg 5 Eliminates garage requirement for non residential units, however,
exterior appearance and functionality of garage must remain
(garage remains when used as residence)
Fixes an incorrect reference (scriveners error)
LiveIWork Dwelling, eliminates first floor limitation
Eliminates 21 uses from the Schedule of Permitted Uses pertaining
to the use and development of the Primary Area

Section 13
Approval Process:
] 3.1 Approval of the Development Plan.
A. Exhibit "I", which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference,
shall serve as the Conceptual Plan (the "CP"). The CP was assigned
Docket No. 04070036 ADLS/DP and the CP has been reviewed and
approved by the Plan Commission. The CP constitutes the Development
Plan and primary plat for the Real Estate. The architecture, design,
lighting and landscaping for the Real Estate and the improvements
thereon, considered in connection with the Manon & Main Ordinance, do
not require any further (i) ADLS approval or (ii) Development
Plan/primary plat approval other than Final Development Plan approval
per the procedure set forth below in this Section 13. If there is a
Substantial Alteration in the approved ADLS and Development
Plan/primary plat, review and approval of the amended plans shall be
made by the Commission, or a Committee thereof, pursuant to the
Commission's rules of procedure. Minor Alterations may be approved by
the Director.
B. The Director shall have the sole and exclusive authority to approve
without conditions, approve with conditions, or disapprove the Final
Development Plans/Secondary Plats (collectively, the "FDP") for the
District; provided, however, that the Director shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay the Director's approval of the FDP that is in substantial
conformance with the CP and is in conformance with the Development
Requirements and Development Standards of this Monon & Main
Ordinance. If the Director disapproves any FDP, the Director shall set
forth in writing the basis for the disapproval and schedule the request for
approval of the FDP for a hearing before the full Plan Commission.
C. An amendment to the FOP, which is not determined by the Director to be
a Substantial Alternation or Material Alteration from the approved CP,
may be reviewed and approved solely by the Director. However, in the
event the Director determines that there has been a Substantial Alteration
or Material Alteration between the approved CP and any proposed FDP,
