Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development's New Transit Oriented District Modification to Take Effect Nov. 1

By Russell Brown, Clark Quinn Moses Scott & Grahn LLP

On September 1, 2021, the Metropolitan Development Commission adopted a significant modification to the zoning ordinance applicable to Marion County. This modification will be effective November 1, 2021 and is intended to allow and/or encourage more walkable and densely developed residential and mixed use districts while also creating a new Transit Oriented District (TOD) overlay district for commercial and mixed use zoned properties located within 1,000 feet of an existing or planned bus rapid transit line. More information about the purposes of the amendment can be found on the Department of Metropolitan Development’s website here. A copy of the full text of adopted modifications is located on the Department of Metropolitan Development’s website here.

The IndyBar’s Real Estate and Land Use section hosted a CLE with representatives from the Department of Metropolitan Development on August 31, 2021, which provided a high level overview of this modification. The CLE is available for purchase on the IndyBar website here!
