The property aligns with Carmel's values of maintaining safe,aesthetically pleasing neighborhoods while fostering economic activity through tourism.I am committed to ensuring my project adheres to all city regulations and contributes positively to the neighborhood. Thank you for considering my request.I am happy to provide additional information or answer any questions. Sincerely, Hyunjin Chung hyunjinc.chung@gmail.com 917.725.0451 Statement of Support The requested variance supports the city’s goals of fostering economic growth,accommodating visitors,and aiding residents in need,all while preserving neighborhood character.Currently,the zoning regulations prohibit short-term rentals,which restricts the ability to offer high-quality accommodations to travelers and individuals temporarily displaced due to home repairs, renovations,or emergencies. This property will be managed responsibly to ensure it integrates seamlessly into the neighborhood.I will implement strict guest policies,maintain the property to high standards,and comply with all health,safety,and operational guidelines.Allowing this variance will enhance Carmel's appeal to visitors,provide a vital resource for community members in transitional housing situations,and support the local economy without compromising community standards. I am requesting a variance to permit the property at 731 E Main St,Carmel,IN 46032,to operate as a short-term rental in compliance with Carmel’s zoning regulations.This request seeks authorization to accommodate guests for stays of less than 30 days,as specified in the city’s short-term rental guidelines.My goal is to operate year-round,adjusting to demand by offering the entire dwelling or individual rooms as needed.
