The Michigan Road Corridor Overlay Zone includes specific requirements for Architectural
Design, Landscaping, Parking, Lighting, Signage and Access. Olive Garden has been working
diligently with the City of Carmel Planning and Engineering Departments to incorporate the
Overlay Zone standards and storm water drainage requirements to create a sense of place that
will encourage future development along Michigan Road.
The City of Carmel Engineering Department is working with Olive Garden to design an
extension of Retail Parkway along the northern portion of this new development.
