2I. Docket No. 06050001 Z: Legacy /East Carmel PUD Rezone
The applicant seeks to rezone 509.234 acres from S -1 to Planned Unit
Development for the purpose of creating a primarily residential, mixed -use
development.
The site is located north of 126 Street, south of 146 Street, and on either side of
River Road. Filld by Steve Pittman and Paul Rioux of Pittman Properties.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development to allow the
construction of a mixed -use development comprised of single family detached and
attached, multi family, retail, and commercial uses. The project is a new development on
the property commonly referred to as the Earlham property. Please refer to the revised
ordinance, site plan, and supporting materials submitted for full details.
The public hearing for this item was held at the June 20 Plan Commission meeting, and
left open. Concerns included density, increase of traffic, quality of the multi family
housing, and a desire to see more pocket parks and usable open space for each district.
This proposal was discussed at the June 29 August 1 October 3 October 24
November 2 and November 28 Special Studies Committee Meetings. On November
28 it received a positive recommendation (3 -1) from the committee with a request for
some edits to the PUD language, and some formatting changes to the documents.
The requested content changes are as follows:
1. Bike parking language (or a reference to our Ordinance) must be added to the parking
chapter.
2. Language must be added to address construction traffic via the posting of signage.
3. Rewriting/adding a chart to Section 17 for ease of reading and understanding.
4. Addition of "wading" pool to the "Neighborhood Amenity" area (removing the term
"tot pool").
5. Add titles to all exhibits
6. Add an exhibit outlining LEED and sustainable site design attributes.
The Department recommends forwarding this to the City Council with a positive
recommendation, subject to the addition of the above items.
