CARMEL /CLAY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: V -69 -03
Petitioner: College Park Baptist Church
FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this Variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals
and general welfare of the community because the building addition is compatible with the
existing church structure, which was constructed in accordance with a height variance granted in
1996.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not
be affected in a substantially adverse manner because the building addition is compatible with
the existing church structure which was constructed in accordance with a height variance granted
in 1996.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result
in practical difficulties in the use of the property because the building addition will be
disproportionate in scale and appearance to the existing church structure.

Developmental Standards Variance Docket No. V -69 -03 is granted, subject to any conditions
