The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee forward both items back to the full Plan Commission after all comments and concerns are addressed. Background: The applicant is requesting a favorable recommendation from the Plan Commission to rezone the subject property from the existing R-3 / Residential classification to B-1 / Business and approval of a DP/ADLS application to construct a building addition and new parking area. Please see the information packet for an overview of the proposal. The subject property is within the Home Place Business District Overlay. This area is planned for future commercial uses under the Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan. The proposed B-1 zoning complies with the range of uses and standards contemplated within the Comprehensive Plan and overlay zone ordinance. The Department recommends that the Commission forward the rezone request to the City Council with a favorable recommendation once review of the DP/ADLS is complete. Prior to the adoption of the Home Place Overlay a Use Variance was approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals to allow a general office to be operated from the site. Last year the County acquired right-of-way from the owner for the construction of the 106th Street and College Avenue intersection improvements. The acquisition of additional right-of-way took several of the parking spaces on the site and requires the demolition of an existing accessory building on the property as well. At this time the owner would like to add on the existing building in addition to addressing the parking needs brought on by the loss of real estate for the road project. Committee Report 2004-0601
