The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: given the aging of residents in the community, the community is in need of and will benefit from a residential memory care facility designed to integrate into and be part of the community. 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: a. the Memory Care Home has been designed to appear similar to nearby singje-family homes, b. the Memory Care Home will be surrounded by landscaping and buffers, thereby blocking the view of the Memory Care Home on all but the street side of the Property, c. the Memory Care Home serves a similar purpose, namely residential housing, as surrounding properties and will appear from the street side to be a single-family home, d. there currently exists an older residential structure on the property, which will be replaced by a better and more valuable residential structure, and e the Memory Care Home and surrounding gardens, landscaping and grounds have been designed to minimize any drainage issues resulting from the improvements and variances 3. The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: the community will be unable to construct a much needed memory care home for community residents,on a parcel currently being utilized for similar purposes, namely residential housing,_ without the variances being requested.

The grant of this variance will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the existence of special condition(s) such that enforcement of the Unified Development Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship because: the proposed Memory Care Home will be a residential home similar in appearance and purpose to the homes in the surrounding area and because the Memory Care Home will complement the architectural styles of other homes in the surrounding area. 2. The grant of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: given the aging of residents in the community, the community is in need of and will benefit from a residential memory care facility designed to integrate into and be part of the community. 3. The use or value of the area adjacent to the subject property will not be substantially affected in any adverse manner because: a. the Memory Care Home has been designed to appear similar to nearby single-family homes, b. the Memory Care Home will be surrounded by landscaping and buffers, thereby blocking the view of the Memory Care Home on all but the street side of the Property, c. the Memory Care Home serves a similar purpose, namely residential housing, as surrounding properties and will appear from the street side to be a single-family home, d. there currently exists an older residential structure on the property, which will be replaced by a better and more valuable residential structure, and e. the Memory Care Home and surrounding gardens, landscaping and grounds have been designed to minimize any drainage issues resulting from the improvements and variances. 4. The need for the variance arises from a natural condition peculiar to the subject property because: the current zoning does not permit a memory care home for more than 10 persons and the Memory Care Home requires 12 residents in order to be financially viable and sound. 5. The granting of this variance does not substantially interfere with the Carmel Comprehensive Planbecause: the Memory Care Home has been designed to appear similar to nearby single-family homes and will also serve as a residential home. DECISION IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals that Use Variance Docket No. 19090019UV is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
