CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
-MEMORANDUM-
Date: September 7, 2012
To: Plan Commission Members
From: Adrienne Keeling
Department of Community Services
Re: Docket No. 12070021 OA
Enclosed is the information packet for the following item. If you have any questions, please give me a call at
571-2417.
Docket No. 12070021 OA: Carmel Dr— Range Line Rd Overlay Sunset Amendment
The applicant seeks to amend the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 23F: Carmel Drive-Range Line
Road Overlay Zone in order to modify development standards and remove the sunset provision
(expiration date). Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services.
Please see the revised proposal to modify the standards and extend the sunset provision (expiration date) of
the Carmel Drive — Range Line Road Overlay Zone.
Special Studies Committee Discussion & Recommendations:
Overall the Committee agreed that there are many benefits to keeping the Carmel Drive — Range Line Road
Overlay Zone. However, the two concerns noted were regarding the requirement of an entrance at the corner
of a building and the requirement of a second story.
With absence of agreement over a solution to the 2 story requirement and concerns for the need of the
Council to have their full 90-day review period before the end of the year, the committee recommended that
the corner entrance requirement be eliminated and the sunset be extended for another year.
A draft ordinance is attached with the committee recommendations highlighted.
