CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
FINDINGS OF FACT FOR USE VARIANCE
Docket No. PZ2020-00161 UV
Petitioner: Daniel & Amy Reravth, Carmel Psychology
1. The grant of this variance will not be contrary, to the Public interest, due to the
romance of special condition(s) such that enforcement of the Uwfied
Development Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship because:
230 1- Street NE is located within a area that has been under redevelopment and
growing as a mixed -use community in the heart ofdowntmm Carmel. The property site
in question is located on a very smolt lot that is proximate m other nonresidential uses.
The small lot and structure are not likely to be of scale and size that would be used for
redevelopment investment given the land use and ownership patterns of the area.
2. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the community because:
This will help to preserve the integrity of the area as no site changes are planned that will
impact the footprint of the suuctume The proposed use is very low impact with a single
full date Psychologist and rwo part time psychologists (altemating days).
3. 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 current property will not change in structure or design. Thee are no plans to
change the landscaping with the exception of the removal of any dead trees and plants.
The property will be privately ovmd! and operated and no longer a remal property,
which will provide consistent upkeep and care with very gWe4 low profile operations.
4. The need for the variance arises f a natural condition Peculiar to the subject
Property became:
The parcel is located m an area where land uses are in transition. The parcel is a very
small lot and not of a configuration that lends itself an redevelopment for any purpose
without land assembly.
S. The approval of this variance does not substantially interf with the
CarmebsClay Comprehensive Plan because:
The petitioners reougnize that the area is going through substantial redevelopment and
anficipates that traditional zoning will be replaced with form -based zoning regulations
that will focus on regulating land use; therefore this proposed variance from residential
to residential with business use with no changes to the land or structure will maintain
the current plan and design of the surrounding neighborhood.
