If you have any questions, please give me a call at 571 -2417. Docket No. 11080011 Z: Monon Overlay Rezone, Natural Section North. The applicant seeks approval to rezone properties which abut the Monon Greenway north of First Street NW, to include them in the Monon Greenway Overlay Zone. This overlay district is super- imposed over the primary zoning districts, and its regulations shall supersede those of the primary zoning districts. The properties which are included in the rezone consist of properties which abut the Monon Greenway from 146th Street to First Street NW. Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission. Docket No. 11080013 OA: Monon Overlay Amendment. The applicant seeks approval to amend the Monon Greenway Overlay Zone of the Zoning Ordinance in order to modify the regulations as need be during the rezoning of the affected parcels in the Natural Section North. Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission. Background: In 2007 and early 2008 the Plan Commission and Council worked to establish a set of Development Standards specific to developments along the Monon Greenway. The effort was made in response to concerns from citizens, Council and Plan Commission members over the many developments, which were either proposed or under construction, along the Monon. The result was Zoning Ordinance Chapter 23H: Monon Greenway Overlay Zone, which was adopted by Council Ordinance Z- 515 -07, and effective April 21, 2008. It is important to note that the 2007 -2008 process was only a TEXT AMENDMENT (OA) to the Zoning Ordinance. For the Overlay Zone standards to be implemented and enforced, it was emphasized that a subsequent approval would be needed to REZONE (Z) properties to be within the Monon Greenway Overlay Zone. The REZONING of the northern segment of the Monon Greenway is proposal now before you. The Rezoning Boundary: We are close to verifying a surveyed centerline for the entire length of the Greenway, and should have a definitive answer by the meeting date. In the mean time I will think about an appropriate distance to propose from the centerline. One hundred feet would accommodate everything needed, even with 60' setbacks. ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417 Monon Development Standards: Enclosed are proposed amendments to Chapter 23H, which are based on October's Committee discussion and comments received since the meeting. They are summarized as follows: 1. Language was added to allow the US 31 Overlay to supercede the Monon Greenway when they conflict. 2. Setbacks have been adjusted to distinguish between single family and attached or multi family. a. New Attached or Multi- family remains at 60' b. Single- family was reduced to 30'. This is 10' additional feet from most existing 20' rear yard setbacks. Currently, the Old Town Overlay allows side rear yards of 5'. c. Accessory Buildings were separated by size. If >_600 sf. (an oversize 2 -car garage) it must be set back 30', but if <600 sf. then underlying zoning requirements remain. 3. Exceptions to the setbacks have been added so as to not place undue on previously approved PUDs and Subdivisions. This exemption is a fairly simple solution for PUDs because they are relatively few in number and are very set in terms of building footprints development type (i.e. the development won't change without an amendment). If larger setbacks are desired in the future, then staff, Plan Commission Council will need to, push for it. Platted subdivisions exist along the entire length of the greenway, so this exemption would be much more widespread. Existing residents would have no additional setback restrictions, and could even re- build a home on an existing lot; however, the 30' setback would be triggered if Tots were combined or re- platted for the purpose of building a new home. 4. Finally, additional language was added to clarify which types of developments are subject to the landscaping, lighting and parking sections of the ordinance. Potential Nonconformities: Additional examination of aerial photographs taking into account the revised setbacks reveals how the proposed setbacks affect existing properties in terms of potential nonconformities. The potential for nonconformities is much Tess than a blanket 60' setback. Here are the numbers: 1. There are approximately 216 homes in the Natural Section (North South). 2. 44 of 60 Attached Multi family structures do not meet the 60' building setback from the Monon (yellow /orange line on the aerials). 40 are in PUDs and would be exempt from the setbacks (Traditions on the Monon, Village Green). The other 4 buildings in Old Town on the Monon Apartments (formerly Carmel Knoll) are in existing Subdivisions and would be exempt from the setbacks. 3. The vast majority of homes meet the 30' building setback from the Monon (see green line on the aerials); however, a couple nonconformities would remain: About 19 (28 do not meet the 30' setback (or if built as planned). i. 6 are in PUDs and would be exempt from the setbacks (Cobblestone, Monon Farms) ii. 11 are in existing Subdivisions and would be exempt from the setbacks. iii. The other 2 homes were built on existing, unplatted lots (4 Street NW NE corner at 116th) 2011 -1101; 11080011 Z 11080013 OA; PC Committee Memo.docx ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417 CITY OF CARMEL ZONING ORDINANCE CARMEL CITY CODE CHAPTER 10: ZONING SUBDIVISIONS ARTICLE 1: ZONING CODE CARMEL ZONING ORDINANCE CHAPTER 2311: MONON GREENWAY OVERLAY ZONE EXISTING ZONING DISTRICTS (Natural Section): R -I, R -2, R -4, P -1, PUD, Old Town Overlay.
