At the March 16 Carmel City Council meeting, residents spoke at length in public comment urging protections in the proposed US 31 sub‑area plan; councilors debated two land‑use items — a Pulte townhome PUD and a contested expansion for the Restorecy senior‑care campus — and heard staff and developer presentations; votes and referrals on several items were moved but some outcomes are not fully recorded in the transcript.
