This property is currently zoned residentially (R2), which does not permit for business operations to be run from the property. The only standards that permit for a business to be run from a residential property are the Home Occupation standards of §25.18 of the Carmel Zoning Ordinance (see Enclosed). The nature of the home occupation standards is to allow a home business to operate with NO visible evidence or impact upon the property's residential character. Activities such as large commercial vehicles, gathering of employees, and storage of materials violates these regulations. There is a certain impracticality of attempting to run a heating and cooling business in a residential neighborhood in a way that would not impact the residential character, much less have no visible exterior evidence of the business when the business requires storage of machinery, vehicles, and materials, regardless of whether or not they are stored indoors or outdoors. Please ensure that any business operating from this residence is consistent with Carmel's Home Occupation, which has been provided to you. Failure to abide by the conditions of the Ordinance will result in additional enforcement action. Please feel free to contact me at (317) 571-2476, if you have any comments or questions. Thank you for your cooperation. Respectfully, i4alulw- lu Laura Rouse-DeVore Code Enforcement Inspector Department of Community Services Cc: File:00002271 Enclosure 25.18 Home Occupation.�5 25.18.01 Standards Generally. A.
