CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner fills out 1-3 + first 2 blanks)
Docket No.: Docket No. PZ-2022-00140 SE UDO Section 2.07
Petitioner: Suzan Davis
1. The approval of this Special Exception will not negatively affect surrounding property values
because:
It will continue to be an owner-occupied home with a well-maintained interior and exterior, like
the rest of the neighborhood. There will never be more than a couple of bedrooms rented out at
a time. So far, we have only rented out one bedroom at a time.
2. This Special Exception will be compatible with existing land uses in the neighborhood because:
The subject property will be used only for residential purposes. We will BOTH be at home
when guests are here. If one of us is out of town, we remove the listing from Airbnb. We
will continue Hoosier Hospitality for our guests with the only difference is now we are going
to charge a fee for the room. This will be treated like a home with guests, not a vacation
destination or party house.
3. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic in and around the premises will not be substantially affected by this
Special Exception because: Our driveway can hold up to four cars and our side yard on the cul de sac
has spaces for more. We do not expect to have more than two rooms rented out (or two car spaces
need) at any one time.
DECISION
