Research notes
Applies only to the consolidated city of Indianapolis / Marion County under Unigov (IC 36-3). The marquee non-zoning interface to Indianapolis Cultural Trail TOD: Cultural Trail TOD-style entitlements are typically delivered through Marion County's IC 36-7-15.1 redevelopment plans + local zoning ordinance Chapter 743 (Indianapolis Marion County Code), not through a standalone state TOD overlay; this overlay is the state-framework anchor that those Marion-County mechanisms run through.
