6I. Docket No. 07050023 OA: Monon Trail Overlay Zone
The applicant seeks to adopt Chapter 23H: Monon Trail Overlay Zone into the Carmel
Zoning Ordinance. Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services.
This item remains at the Subdivision Committee; however, a Special Meeting is scheduled for Thursday,
November 15 to discuss the Monon Overlay, with intent that it will be forwarded back to the full
Commission on November 20` Please see the petitioner's informational packet for more detail.
The info packet provides the Overlay Zone draft. Two versions are included to accommodate different
reviewing preferences one includes edit marks (since public hearing) and the other is clean.
*Please note that additional changes may be made as a result of the November 15 Special Committee
meeting. However, the Department expects that changes will generally be limited to a few sections.
Sections 23H.05: Building Setback and 23H.08: Building Height are the main sections to be
discussed. A draft of the amendments from the Nov. 15 meeting will be mailed to committee
members on Friday, if docket no. 07050023 OA makes it out of committee.
Also note that this is item is a zoning ordinance text amendment only. For this Overlay to be fully
implemented and enforced, a map amendment (rezoning application) will be required to establish the
exact boundaries of the Overlay Zone. The Department expects to bring the rezoning phase forward in
coming months.
The Department of Community Services recommends the Commission forward this item, with a
favorable recommendation, to the City Council.
