SUBDIVISION COMMITTEEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
SEPTEMBER 1, 2009
1. Docket No. 09050010 OA: Carmel SmartCode Ordinance Amendment
Adopt Article 3: CARMEL SMARTCODE as part of Carmel City Code, Chapter 10: Zoning Subdivisions.
The SmartCode contains new development regulations that will be in effect for the area of Carmel north of
116"' Street and bounded by US 31 and Keystone. Filed by the Department of Community Services, on behalf
of the Carmel Plan Commission.
The Department of Community Services gave the first introduction to the SmartCode text the June 16 and July 21 Plan
Commission public hearing meetings. The Department believes that two public hearings were appropriate in order to
give the public additional time to review the proposal. Postcards announcing these dates were mailed to all property
owners in North Central Carmel.
Please refer to the SmartCode booklet (distributed 3 months ago) for more detail. No changes have been made. If you
need an additional copy, please let us know. You may also view the draft on the web at: www.carmelsmartcode.com
The June 16 presentation slides are also posted at this website under Carmel SmartCode Introduction and Public
Hearing.
We now have some maps available for the committee meeting date for reference purposes; however, please note that
any formal zoning map amendments will be with Docket No. 09070013 Z and an additional public hearing was held at
the August 18 Plan Commission meeting.
The Dept of Community Services (DOCS) recommends that this item is discussed and then continued to a
Special Subdivision Committee meeting for further review and discussion. (Possible Special Meeting dates are
Tuesday, Sept. 29 and Tuesday, Oct. 13.)
