area requirements and Chapter 31.06.04 of the Carmel Zoning Ordinance, regarding
Planned Unit Development District locations.
The purpose of this amendment is to adopt a consistent ROSO subdivision base
density in all S-1 areas. Currently the S-1 areas have differing base densities of 1.0,
1.3 or 1.8 units per acre depending on location (see enclosed map). This amendment
proposes all S-1 ROSO subdivisions have a 1.0 unit per acre base density. Also
included in this amendment is the allowance of PUDs west of Spring Mill Road.
PUDs were previously prohibited in this area.
The information on these items has been arranged in the following format: 1. Copy of the Ordinance

Whenever the Commission deems it advisable in regard to the matters contained in
Subparagraph (3) or (4) above, the Commission may permit or require the owner of a
parcel of real property to make a Commitment subject to the rules prescribed for
Commitments by Section 31.06.05. By permitting or requiring a Commitment, the

required for a new Commitment to be effective. If a Commitment made when the
proposal was before the Commission is modified and the effect of the modification is to
make the Commitment more stringent, no further action of the Commission is required

modification is to make the Commitment less stringent, then the modified Commitment

Ordinance are hereby repealed.
