RE: Village of WestClay Gas Station and Con.
Harleston Street&Towne Road
Technical Advisory Committee Application
Docket Number: PZ-2021-00201
To whom it may concern:
You recently submitted an application to the Carmel Department of Community Services ("DOCS")
for Technical Advisory Committee ("TAC")review of a proposed gas station and convenience store
to be located in the WestClay Village Planned Unit Development district(the"Project"). The
Project is scheduled to be reviewed by TAC at its meeting on December 15, 2021.
Upon further examination of the Project by DOCS and the City's attorneys, I am writing to inform
you that I am cancelling all further review of the Project, including TAC review,because the
Project as presented does not conform to Carmel's requirement for gas station pumps, pump islands
and vent pipes to be set back at least 500 feet from residentially used property as set forth in Unified
Development Ordinance ("UDO") Section 5.65. Because the WestClay Village PUD district
ordinance, as amended, is silent regarding use-specific setback requirements for gas stations,
pursuant to UDO Section 9.05(A)(4)(c),the UDO's use-specific gas station setback requirement of
500 feet applies to the Project.
Unfortunately,therefore,the Project as presented to the City cannot be approved.
This letter and the conclusions herein shall constitute an official determination of the Director. If
you or any interested party disagrees with this determination, a formal appeal to the Carmel Board
of Zoning Appeals ("BZA")may be filed pursuant to UDO Section 9.01(A). Any appeal to the
BZA must be filed within thirty (30)days of issuance of this letter or the determination will be final.
Sincerely yours,
Michael ollibaug , irector
