Land Use Planning


Carmel Comprehensive Planning Data Package

Prepared Spring 2009

The intent of this data is to provide communities with the minimum amount of state data necessary to complete a comprehensive plan. Additional local data from local sources must also be collected to complete a comprehensive plan. Feel free to use better or more recent data if your committee is able to obtain it.

In order to view these electronic files you must have Microsoft Word, Excel, and Adobe Reader.  Additional GIS shapefiles may be available and require ArcExplorer.  All of these programs offer free reader versions:
