Docket No. 07010008 Z: 1161h & Guilford Rezone The applicant seeks to rezone approximately 9.5 acres from I -l/Industrial to R-IlResidence. The site is located at the northeast corner of I 16th & Guilford, at L441 S. Guilford Rd. Filed by the Carmel Dept. of Community Services This item was heard at the February 20, 2007 Plan Commission meeting. At that meeting the land owner's attorney spoke in opposition stating concerns for his client's continued and future use of the property as permitted by the Industrial Zoning designation. Since then, the attorney for the property owners had several discussions with staff. Staff is currently waiting on a return phone call from the property owners' attorney. There are no development plans associated with this petition, nor are any proposed. However, due to recent and proposed development in the surrounding area, a change in zoning, from its current 1- llIndustrial to R-IlResidence, is being proposed to assure the Carmel Plan Commission and Carmel City Council have the greatest opportunity to review plans for the property, should proposed redevelopment ever occur at this comer. Under an I-l/Industrial Zoning Classification, a wide range of industrial uses would be permitted by right, including warehousing, storage and light manufacturing; currently residential is not a permitted use. Given the manner in which the area has recently evolved, an R- l/Residence zoning would be better fit to its surroundings. The proposed rezoning would not affect Duke Energy's ability to maintain operations in the current facility, nor would it prohibit other non-residential uses allowed in the I-lIlndustrial District from occupying the current facility. If the non-residential use discontinues or the property is vacant for a period longer than one (1) year, the premises sball thereafter conform to the provisions of tbe R- llResidence District. Though this proposal would not prohibit the property owner from requesting rezoning to a Business District or Planned Unit Development in the future, there is a unique opportunity to take a proactive approach to this site. DOCS would like the rezone to move forward and is opeD to either an M-3/Manufacluring rezone with commitments, or B-IlBusiness rezone. The Departmentrecommends this item be forwarded to the full Plan Commission meeting on April 15 with a positive recommendation after all comments/concerns are fully addressed. ~ U Must-Have Uses Requested by Duke Energy for the Rezone at 116th & Guilford f' = Penn i tlro A = Accessory "Blanle" = Prohibited Type of Use Office Uses Clinic or Mffiical Health Center I{esearch Laborutury I Facility General Oftices Profe<.~ional Office p p p p p p p p p p p PAP P SU P Institutional Uses Public Service Facility Educational Uses Schoul.
