CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS FINDINGS OF FACT SHEET - DEVELOPMENT ST ANDARDS VARIANCE Requested Variance: The applicant is seeking the following variance: 1. The Meridian Corridor Architectural Standards, Massing requiring two (2) principal buildings on a lot over three hundred (300’) feet in width, proposing one (1) principal building. (ZO Chapter 5.07(D)(3)); FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The approval of the requested variances will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: The approval of the requested variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because the requested variance would allow a multi-tenant multi-level mixed use commercial building complementary of the surrounding uses. The proposed Avid Hotel will have attractive architecture and provide retail and restaurant uses for the region. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because: The use and value of the area adjacent to the real estate that is the subject of the requested variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because the commercial building would be complimentary to the office and retail uses that surround the site. The Avid Hotel will not have a substantially adverse impact on the area adjacent to the site. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: The Avid Hotel with the retail and restaurant uses cannot be developed as proposed without the requested variance. The building is located within an office / commercial park with multiple buildings. In this regard, the intent of requiring multiple buildings on the Real Estate is still met.
