CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
- MEMORANDUM-
Date: March 9, 2012
To: Plan Commission Members
From: Adrienne Keeling Ay_.
Department of Community Services
Re: March 20t'' Plan Commission meeting - Docket No. 12010005 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. 12010005 OA: Patch Ordinance IX
The applicant seeks to amend Subdivision Control Ordinance Chapter 3: General Provisions and Chapter 7:
Open Space Standards for Major Subdivisions. The applicant also seeks to amend Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 2: Compliance with the Regulations, Chapter 3: Definitions, Chapter 5: S -1 /Residence District,
Chapter 6: S- 2/Residence District, Chapter 7: R -1 /Residence District, Chapter 8: R -2 /Residence District,
Chapter 9: R -3 /Residence District, Chapter 10: R -4 /Residence District, Chapter 20A: 1 -1 /Industrial District,
Chapter 21: Special Uses & Special Exceptions, Chapter 23C: US Highway 421 - Michigan Road Corridor
Overlay Zone, Chapter 25: Additional Use Regulations, Chapter 26: Additional Height, Yard, Lot Area and
Buffering Regulations and Appendix A: Schedule of Uses. Filed by the Carmel Department of Community
Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission.
The Department has scheduled, this Ordinance for a second public hearing because additional Ordinance
Chapters have been added since the February published notice. Please note that some of the added
Ordinance Chapters were included based on discussions at the March 6 Subdivision Committee meeting;
therefore, a Rules Suspension to allow 10 -day Notice will be required to hold the Public Hearing.
The Subdivision Committee discussed the Patch Ordinance at length on March 6, including all of the
Chapters included in this Public Notice, and it remains in Committee for discussion on March 29.
Revisions are still under way from discussions; however, enclosed is an intermediate draft for the Full
Commission should additional discussion occur. Committee revisions (so far) are highlighted yellow.
AMENDMENTS OF NOTE:
Although there were a wide range of revisions suggested, many of which are still in progress, here are a
couple of topics discussed and agreed upon by the Subdivision Committee.
1. SCO, CHAPTER 7: OPEN SPACE STANDARDS & ZO CHAPTERS: 5 -10 (RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICTS)
Since density standards are no longer tied to the amount of open space provided in
Page 1
ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
Subdivisions, it was suggested that the maximum density requirements be moved into each
residential district of the Zoning Ordinance. This transfer into the Zoning Ordinance also forces
increases in density to be reviewed as a Variance (BZA) or a Rezoning (PC & Council), instead
of a Plan Commission Waiver.
2. CHAPTER 3: DEFINITIONS
CCRC: Instead of a simple reference to Indiana Code, the Committee would like to review the
State's actual definition of CCRC and modify it, if necessary, into a definition for Carmel. This
would allow Carmel to stick with a single definition without the possibility of our definition
changing unknowingly at the hands of the State.

uses, and provide a network of open space. The open space requirements emphasize the protection of natural
areas, such as flood zones and woodlands, but also allow for more structured open spaces, such as parks or
squares, as well as for agricultural open space in the form of fields or pasture. Open space should be consistent
with the goals, objectives and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
