CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner fills out 1-3 and first 2 blanks)
Docket No.: PZ-2020-00043 V
Petitioner: Onyx and East
The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community because:
The lot width permits an orderly development plan with density and open space that is
appropriate and will not negatively impact the surrounding community.
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:
Given the nature and 3-4 story design of townhome developments, the proposed 20'+ wide
units create at least 2,000 8F of livable space with at least 2 bedrounis, which is desirable. --
Flats units will have at least 1,500 SF of livable space with at least 2 bedrooms. The overall
development will positively affect the use and value of the area adjacent to the property.
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 zoning classification permits townhome development with a density consistent with the proposed
from wall to wall as is required in the case of townhomes. The strict application of the 4,000 SF lot size will
require units to exceed the largest anticipated unit size of 3,000 SF of livable space, which is not as desirable
to the public as units with small lot size. The lot size requirement is not applicable to the design of the flats
building.
