If you have any questions, please give me a call at 571 -2417. Docket No. 10110001 OA: R -4 District Setback Amend. The applicant seeks to amend the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 10: R -4 Residence District and Chapter 23A: State Highway 431 Keystone Avenue Corridor Overlay Zone in order to amend the setback requirements. Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission. Please see the revised proposal to amend the setbacks in the R -4 Residence District, and to change the title of the Keystone Overlay. This proposal has been at the Subdivision Committee since Public Hearing in November. Most of the time at Committee was spent understating R -4 as it exists today. It became apparent that a wide range of housing exists in the R -4 District and that much care needed to be taken to maintain the character of existing Single Family and Two family neighborhoods. After much discussion, review and revision, the Subdivision Committee favorably recommended the attached proposal back to the full Plan Commission. In summary, the proposed amendments are as follows: Chapter 10: R -4 District 1. FRONT YARDS: Single- family and Two family dwellings will keep a 30' minimum front yard setback, Other uses will use a range from 5' -30'. 2. SIDE REAR YARDS: Side and rear yards remain the same for Single and Two family dwellings, but adjustments have been made to require larger setbacks when adjacent to Single /Two family dwellings. Chapter 23A: Keystone Overlay 3. Change title from SR 431 to reflect Keystone Parkway. 4. Remove section that states Parking is prohibited in greenbelt. The committee feels it is redundant to state that a landscaped greenbelt cannot include parking. 2011 -0211; PC Memo.docx Page 1 ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417 Sponsor: Councilor Rider ORDINANCE Z- -11 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARMEL, INDIANA An Ordinance amending the setbacks in the R -4 /Residence District and the State Highway 431 Keystone Avenue Corridor Overlay Zone in the Carmel Zoning Ordinance WHEREAS, pursuant to the Advisory Planning Law of the State of Indiana (contained in IC 36 -7 -4), each unit of local government that wishes to adopt land use and zoning ordinances must first approve by resolution a comprehensive plan for the geographic area over which it has jurisdiction; and WHEREAS, the Carmel Clay Comprehensive Plan "C3 Plan 2009" Docket No. 08070020 CP was given a favorable recommendation by the Carmel Advisory Plan Commission on November 18, 2008, and duly approved by Resolution No. CC- 05- 04 -09 -02 of the Common Council on May 4, 2009, and is therefore the official Comprehensive Plan of the City of Carmel and Clay Township; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to maintain an orderly, consistent and streamlined Zoning Ordinance; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Indiana Code 36 -7 -4 -602 the Common Council is authorized to amend the text of the zoning ordinance; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Indiana Code 36 -7 -4 -610 and City of Carmel Ordinance No. D- 1600 -02, the Carmel Zoning and Subdivision Control Ordinances are incorporated by reference into the Carmel City Code; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, that, pursuant to IC 36 -7 -4 -600 et seq. and after Docket No. 10110001 OA having received a favorable recommendation from the Carmel Advisory Plan Commission on Tuesday, 2011, it hereby adopts this Ordinance to amend the Carmel Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. Z -289, as amended), to read as follows: Section I: ZO CHAPTER 10: R- 4/RESIDENCE DISTRICT a.
