Tuesday, September 3, 2024 Department Report
2. Docket No. PZ-2024-00127: ADLS Amend-Sign: Bru Burger Mural on Patio Wall
The applicant seeks approval for an exterior mural. The site is located at 12901 Old Meridian St. It is zoned UC
and is not located within an overlay zone. Filed by Josh Brinson on behalf of Bru Burger Bar-Carmel.
Project Overview:
The Petitioner seeks approval to paint a mural on the south side of an existing multi-tenant retail building. The wall is
constructed of CMU block and is currently painted gray. The mural will be painted directly onto this façade with high
quality spray paints after a pressure washer cleaning. Once the mural is complete and dry, a clear coat will be applied.
Architectural Design:
The proposed mural has a bold and colorful design. The artist has incorporated local imagery such as the Indianapolis
skyline, Carmel street signs, and a greyhound. Josh Brinson aka Bezol One is the artist’s name and he is a muralist and
graphic designer from Indianapolis. He hopes to inspire “creativity, adventure, and an active lifestyle within those that
view the mural.”
No logos or signage for Bru Burger will be included in the mural. No changes are proposed to the existing site plan.
Adjacent parking spaces, outdoor seating, and landscaping will be maintained. The mural will only be visible if someone
is walking or driving around the back of the building. It is not visible from Old Meridian Street. Petitioner, please
confirm if the mural will or will not be lit by an external source.
DOCS Remaining Comments/Concerns:
None.
Recommendation:
The Department of Community Services recommends the Plan Commission Committee votes to Approve this item this
evening.
