SUBDIVISION COMMITTEEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
AUGUST 4, 2009
3. Docket No. 09050010 OA: Carmel SmartCode
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 August 4 Subdivision committee meeting has been cancelled. A rescheduled meeting date will soon be
announced.
At the June 16 Plan Commission meeting, the Department of Community Services gave the first introduction to
the SmartCode and a second Public Hearing at the July 21 Plan Commission regular meeting. The Department
believes that two public hearings are 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 2 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 there under Carmel SmartCode
Introduction and Public Hearing.
We do hope to have some maps available by the committee meeting date for reference purposes; however,
please note that any formal zoning map amendments will require an additional docket number (Docket No.
09070013 Z) and additional public hearing (August 18 Plan Commission meeting).
The Dept of Community Services (DOCS) recommends that this item is discussed and then continued to
the September 1 Subdivision Committee meeting for further review and discussion.
