lh. Docket No. 95-03 OA (03060012); I-1/Industrial District Amendment
Amendments to the I-1/Industrial District of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance.
The petitioner seeks to add Development Plan and ADLS provisions to the I-1/Industrial
District of the Zoning Ordinance.

The Department of Community Services, as petitioner, requests that the Plan Commission
forward a favorable recommendation to the City Council on a request to amend the I-1/Industrial
Section of the Carmel/Clay Land Use Regulations (see attached Ordinance). Approval of the
amendment would add Development Plan and Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping &
Signage (DP/ADLS) review by the Plan Commission for development in the I-1 zone. No other
changes are proposed.
If there are no concerns raised by the public or comments from Plan Commission members

recommend that the Plan Commission suspend its rules and that this item be forwarded to
the City Council with a favorable recommendation.
