EXPLANATION OF REQUEST
The applicant, Adams & French Property, LLC (“Adams & French), has filed applications seeking
Use Variance and Development Standards Variance (collectively, the “Variances”) approval for a
parcel of real estate that is approximately .091 acres that is generally located on the south side of
Carmel Drive and west of Range Line Road and is commonly known as 155 West Carmel Drive,
Carmel, IN 46032 (“Real Estate”). The Real Estate is outlined in yellow on the site location exhibit
behind Tab 2.
The Real Estate is zoned I-1 Industrial and is located in the Range Line Road Overlay. Since
approximately the mid-1980’s, a self-storage building and use have operated on the Real Estate.
Adams & French desires to demolish the existing 1-story building and replace it with a new 3-story
Extra Space Storage building that will continue to operate as a self-storage use consisting of
approximately 59,500 square feet. The exterior building materials for the new 3-story building will
include masonry, metal panels, and glass. Behind Tab 3 is the site plan and behind Tab 4 and Tab 5
are the building perspectives and building elevations respectively. To this end, in addition to the
Variances described above, Adams & French has also filed applications with the Plan Commission for
Architectural Design, Landscaping, Lighting and Signage (“ADLS”) and Development Plan (“DP”)
approval which the was presented the Plan Commission at its March 17, 2020 meeting and
subsequently approved by the Commercial Committee on May 7th.
The properties that surround the Real Estate to the north, east and west are zoned industrial,
business and commercial and were developed after the existing self-storage facility began operating
on the Real Estate. The new 3-story building proposed by Adams & French will be more
architecturally compatible, consistent and complimentary to other commercial buildings in the
surrounding area.
In order for Adams & French to redevelopment the Real Estate, the following three (3) variances
are requested:
1. Use Variance Docket No. 20010016: The Use Variance request pertains to the Unified
Development Ordinance (“UDO”) Section 3.66 which prohibits certain uses within the Range
Line Overlay. In this regard, the current Industrial (I-1) zoning classification of the Real
Estate permits “Storage and/or Warehousing, Indoor”; however, “Storage and/or
Warehousing, Indoor” is a prohibited use within the Range Line Overlay. The existing self-
storage building was constructed in the mid-1980’s and continues to operate as a pre-existing,
legal non-conforming use. The proposed new building would be used for the same purpose as
the existing building (“Storage and /or Warehousing, Indoor”) which includes a small office
component for the business. However, in order for “Storage and/or Warehousing, Indoor to be
a permitted use on the Real Estate, Use Variance approval is required. The properties that
surround the Real Estate are zoned industrial, business and commercial and were developed
after the original self-storage facility which was constructed in the mid-1980’s. Approval of
the Use Variance request will allow construction of a new building that will be more
architecturally compatible, consistent and complimentary to other commercial buildings in the
surrounding area.
2. Development Standards Variance Docket No. 20010017 V: This Development Standards
Variance request pertains to UDO Section 3.75 and 3.79 regarding landscape and parking
standards (bufferyards). Due to the unique existing site conditions, Adams & French is
seeking this Development Standards Variance request pertaining to the landscape standards
and parking bufferyard standards for the east perimeter of the Real Estate adjacent to the
existing drive that serves the site. In this regard, Adams & French is proposing that the
existing drive be allowed to remain in its current location along the east perimeter of the Real
Estate where the UDO would today require a five (5) foot wide landscape buffer area with
requisite plantings.
3. Development Standards Variance Docket No. PZ-2020-00018 V: This Development
Standards Variance request pertains to UDO Section 3.72 B to allow metal panels as the
primary building material in lieu of brick, stone and/or concrete only as it relates to portions
of the east and west elevations of the building. The applicant worked closely with staff and
made significant revisions and enhancements to the elevations as requested by Staff.As noted
above the Commercial Committee of the Pan Commission approved the building materials
design supported by DOCS Staff on May 7th.
In summary, approval of the requested Variances and redevelopment of the Real Estate will result
in an enhanced building design from the building that currently exists on the Real Estate. Further, the
newly constructed building will be much more architecturally compatible, consistent and
complimentary to the other commercial buildings in the surrounding area. Further, since the “Storage
and/or Warehousing, Indoor” use has existed on the Real Estate since the mid-1980’s, continuing to
allow this use on the Real Estate will not result in any adverse impact on surrounding properties.
Included within this brochure are the plans that fully detail the Variances requested for Extra
Space Storage: (i) Color site plan (Tab 3); (ii) Building perspectives (Tab 4); Building elevations and
signage details (Tab 5); an engineered site development Plan (Tab 6); Findings of Fact for Use
Variance request and Findings of Fact for Development Standards Variance requests (Tab 7 and Tab
8, respectively).
We look forward to presenting this request to you on Mary 26, 2020.
Respectfully submitted,

FINDINGS OF FACT SHEET - USE VARIANCE
Docket Number: _________________________
Petitioner: Adams & French Property, LLC
Requested Variance: Use Variance from UDO, Section 3.66 Range Line Road Overlay
(RL-OL), Storage and/or Warehousing, Indoor
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The grant of this variance will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the existence of
special conditions such that the enforcement of the Unified Development Ordinance will
result in unnecessary hardship because:
The Applicant desires to demolish an old and outdated building that has been utilized for
indoor self storage since approximately the mid-1980’s. While the current Industrial (I-1)
zoning classification of the subject site permits indoor storage, the site is located in the
Range Line Overlay which prohibits Storage and/or Warehousing, Indoor. However, today
the use continues to operate under its pre-existing, legal non-conforming status. While the
existing building does not meet the architectural standards of the Range Line Road Overlay
the new building will replace the existing building and include an architectural design which
meets the architectural requirements of the Range Line Road Overlay. Further, the new
building would be used for same purpose as the existing building (Storage and /or
Warehousing, Indoor) which includes a small office component for the business.
The special conditions that pose an unnecessary hardship relate to the fact that the existing
building has operated as a self storage use for over 35 years; and, while the applicant desires
to build a new building it requires Use Variance approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
The properties that surround the subject site are zoned industrial, business and commercial
and were developed after the original self storage facility which was constructed in the mid-
1980’s. Granting of the Use Variance request will allow construction of a new building that
(i) will meet the architectural standards of the Range Line Road Overlay and (ii) be more
architecturally compatible, consistent and complimentary to other commercial buildings 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:
In addition to the reasons set forth in Paragraph #1 above, the approval of the requested Use
Variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because the requested Use Variance would allow the same use, indoor self
storage, that has already existed on the subject site since the mid-1980’s. Granting the Use
Variance request will allow the applicant to build a new building that will be more
compatible, consistent and complimentary to the other commercial buildings that exist in the
surrounding area. Further, unlike the existing building, the new building will meet the
architectural standards of the Range Line Road Overlay.
3. The use or value of the area adjacent to the subject property will not be substantially
affected in any adverse manner because:
In addition to the reasons set forth in Paragraph #1 and #2 above, the use and value of the
area adjacent to the real estate that is the subject of the requested Use Variance will not be
affected in a substantially adverse manner because the self storage use, the use that has
existing on the subject site since the mid-1980’s, will continue to exist. Granting the Use
Variance request will allow the applicant to build a new building that will meet the
architectural standards of the Range Line Road Overlay be more compatible, consistent and
complimentary to the other commercial and industrial buildings in the surrounding area.
4. The need for the variance arises from a natural condition peculiar to the subject property
because:
While the current Industrial (I-1) zoning classification of the subject site permits indoor
storage and subject site and building have been used for self storage since the mid-1980’s,
the site is located in the Range Line Overlay that was adopted in the mid-2000’s. The use
exists due to its pre-existing, legal non-conforming status. As a result, in order for the
Applicant to be permitted to construct a new building that will (i) meet the architectural
standards of the Range Line Road Overlay and (ii) be more compatible, consistent and
complimentary to the other commercial buildings in the surrounding area, it requires Use
Variance approval.
5. The granting of this variance does not substantially interfere with the Carmel
Comprehensive Plan because:
The area that surrounds the subject site includes other industrial and commercial uses. The
new building to be constructed will meet the architectural standards of the Range Line Road
Overlay and will be a desirable upgrade to the building that currently exists on the subject
site. Approval of the Use Variance will allow an enhancement that will be compatible,
consistent and complimentary with other commercial buildings in the surrounding area.

CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
FINDINGS OF FACT SHEET - DEVELOPMENT ST ANDARDS VARIANCE
Requested Variances: Docket Number 20010017 V: Variances from Unified Development Ordinance
(“UDO”), Range Line Overlay District, Section 3.75 (landscape standards) and
Section 3.79 (parking bufferyard standards).
Docket Number PZ-2020-00018V: Variance from UDO, Range Line Overlay
District, Section 3.72 B (primary building materials).
FINDINGS OF FACT
The approval of the requested Variances will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community because:
1. The approval of the requested Variances will not be injurious to the public health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the community as granting the requested Variances will allow
the Applicant to redevelop the Real Estate and build a new building that will be more
compatible, consistent and complimentary to the other commercial buildings that exist in the
surrounding area.
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 will not be affected in a substantially
adverse manner because approval of the Variances would permit the existing drive aisle to
remain in its current existing location and allow for redevelopment of the Real Estate,
including construction of a new building that will be more compatible, consistent and
complimentary to the other commercial buildings that exist in the surrounding area. As a
result, the granting of the Variances will not have a substantially adverse impact on the area
adjacent to the site as the site conditions exists today.
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:
Regarding the variances pertaining to Section 3.75 (landscape standards) and Section 3.79
(parking bufferyard standards), there are unique site conditions that result in practical
difficulties complying with UDO, Range Line Road Overlay Standards in combination with
other Standards required in the Overlay District pertaining to building and site layout
requirements making the requested variances necessary to redevelop the site. Further,
regarding the variance request from UDO, Range Line Overlay District, Section 3.72 B
(primary building materials), this request pertains to allowing metal panels as the primary
building material in lieu of brick, stone and/or concrete, but only as it relates to the east and
west elevations of the building. The granting of this variance will result in allowing
redevelopment of the Real Estate and construction of a new building that is more compatible,
consistent and complimentary to the other commercial buildings that exist in the surrounding
area. Absent approval of the requested Variances, the Applicant will be unable to redevelop
the Real Estate and construct a new building on the site.
