The applicant seeks to amend the Official Zoning map of Carmel and Clay Township to include the
proposed SmartCode. The area included in the rezone is north of 116` east of US 31, and west of

Department of Community Services, on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission.
As promised at the last meeting, the Department is now moving forward with the mapping portion of
the SmartCode effort, which effectively acts as a rezoning. To date, we have been discussing the
SmartCode Ordinance. Please see the info packet for more info, as well as the public notice letter and
proposed transect map.
A reminder postcard for the public hearing will also be mailed this week to all property owners in
North Central Carmel. You may also have seen banners and a number of public notice signs posted on
public properties and at prominent street corners in the affected area.
As always, you may also view everything on the internet at: www.carmelsmartcode.com
The Dept of Community Services recommends that the Commission sends this item to the Sept. 1
Subdivision Committee meeting for further review and discussion.
