Re: September 18th Plan Commission meeting— Docket No. 12080007 Z
Enclosed is the information packet for the following item. If you have any questions, please give me a call at
571-2417.
• Docket No. 12080007 Z: Old Town Neighborhood Rezone.
The applicant seeks approval to rezone 22 parcels from the B-1/Business, 8-3/Business and B-5/Business District
Classifications within the Old Town District Overlay Zone, Character Sub-Area to the R-3/Residence, R-4/Residence
and 'B-5%Business District Classifications within the Old Town District Overlay Zone, Character Sub-Area. The
•
properties are located along 1st Avenue NW, 1st Avenue NE, 2nd Avenue NE, 1st Street NE, 2nd Street NE and 5th
Street NE. Filed by the Carmel Departmentof Community Services.
NOTE:A suspension of the Plan Commission's Rules of Procedure will be necessary to hear the-above item.
The 25-day public.notice requirement was met with respect to newspaper publication and Certified mailings;
however, public notice signs were placed 18 days prior to the public hearing. Additionally, due to the time and
costs invoked with sign preparation, some signs are shared by houses in the same block.
The.Department-of Community Services proposes to'rezone several properties in the Old Town area, north of
Main Street. The purpose of this effort is to further protect the residential nature of the area by reducing the
presence of business'zoning districts in residential areas and limiting the types of business uses adjacent to
residences., All of the subject properties will remain in the Old Town District Overlay Zone, Character Sub-Area
and subject to the requirements of Zoning.Ordinance Chapter 23D: Old Town District Overlay Zone.
Enclosed you find
a ma• and address list to help identify the properties affected by this: ro osal: Of the 22
y - p p � Y p •p Y P p
parcels included in this rezoning proposal, 20 are proposed to be changed to a residential zoning district to
match surrounding properties in the R-3/Residence and R'-4/Residence Districts. Currently these properties
are:used as residences, and therefore, would not be affected by rezoning' to a residential district. The
remaining two parcels are located at the edge of the residential neighborhood at the NE and NW corner of 1st
Avenue' NE and 1, Street NE. 'Both properties are in the B-1/Business District and have been or are currently
st '
being occupied by businesses. DOCS Staff believes the B-5/Business District could be a better fit with the
adjoining neighborhood due to the limited number of permitted uses in B-5. A brief summary of the B-1 and B-
5 Districts 'is included in the enclosure. For more detailed information please refer to Zoning Ordinance
Chapters 12, 16 and Appendix A Schedule of Uses.
