Economic Development Area (with Meridian Main) PC 09 -21 -10 (1)
State Law requires that the Redevelopment Commission reviewing these types of proposals also requires a
review by the Plan Commission to determine whether or not the project is within conformity with the
community's Comprehensive Plan. The extent of the Plan Commission's responsibility is to determine
whether or not the proposal conforms to Carmel's Comprehensive Plan. It is not a matter of whether or not
the Plan Commission deems the proposal good or bad; rather whether or not the proposal conforms to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Angie Conn, DOCS, stated that the Department believes the plan does conform to the Comprehensive Plan
for the City.
