Carmel Plan Commission - July 21, 2026

The City of Carmel Plan Commission held a meeting on July 21, 2026, where several development and subdivision petitions were reviewed. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a minor subdivision plat for the Skorkin Minor Subdivision, which involved splitting a 5.74-acre parcel into two residential lots with conditions related to drainage plans at the time of building. The commission also approved a site plan and design amendment for Leppard Mortuaries expansion, involving a nearly 3,000 square foot building addition and landscaping improvements, with conditions on ADA access and lighting. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the Hampstead Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezone request for a 36-lot subdivision on approximately nine acres. The commission heard extensive public comments expressing concerns about density, traffic, stormwater management, buffering, and compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods. The commission decided to forward the Hampstead PUD to a committee meeting for further review and revisions. Lastly, the commission approved the Conner Prairie Innovation District Development Plan, which included site improvements, landscaping, stormwater management, and parking for a portion of the Conner Prairie property, with conditions to finalize project documentation. Motions to suspend rules and approve these items were passed, reflecting ongoing capital improvement and development planning activities in Carmel.
