The real goal of this effort was to keep the crony developers from bulldozing an established neighborhood adjacent to downtown Carmel. I heard this effort was led by a majority of folks in that neighborhood. The effort was directed squarely at stopping Brainard's "vision", at least in this neighborhood. If the effort succeeded, which other centrally located neighborhood would be next? He absolutely had other motives in vetoing this. Interesting that someone in the administration kept track of many meetings where this issue was discussed, but nobody thought to publicly advertise the meetings.

AV is not value but a corruption thereof; state paid / sponsored bureaucrats data fitting to suit their spending plans; as real world, private / productive sector budgeting is revenue restricted; not the wanton bloat sought by those who collect taxes (other people's revenue) which they confuse as "revenue." The public treasury is filled with a tax on the lifeblood of citizen's revenue- government doesn't earn revenue.

Market value is one thing only, a transactional reality- a sale! Our local monkeys (elected) have been DC trained to raid the public treasury & thereby the lifeblood of private citizens; now a collision course between liberty & tyranny. There's an end to treasury raiding; as resources of citizens are depleted in service to Romanesque lego-land "development" which so rounds the corner of immorality as to be degradation.

There's elemental simplicity in the legitimate mission of responsible, limited government. What we now have is the hyper-rationalized complexity of deception rooted in the cynical muck of viral statism- evil.

The only credible measure of correcting, morbidly proportioned, barbaric, runaway, parasitic consume its host government, is significantly shrinking its girth in real, net measurable terms, from year to year; until such time as the people can recognize the humane, purposeful frame of what was designed to be a representative government.

Conservation/Historic preservation Districts add value, even in the middle west where "Historic" is a relative term to other parts of the country. Whether you agree or disagree with anything that's being done in Carmel, the long term goal is to set it up for a time in the future when it's mostly built out and AV growth isn't being created entirely by new construction.
