CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.:
Petitioner: Jones Lang LaSalle, Americas
FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENT 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 two wall signs will effectively address identification of the major tenants of the building from I-
465.
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:
Two or more wall signs facing I -465 is consistent with the majority of multi -tenant multi -level
buildings in the corridor and allows for reasonable identification of major tenants. Adequate
identification of major tenants promotes improves and promotes higher occupancy rates in the
corridor.
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:
Adequate identification of major tenants is critical to the success of building leasing. Absent
utilizing the proposed number of signs the owner will be placed at a competitive disadvantage with
other similarly situated buildings in the US31/Meridain Street Overlay permitted more than one sign
facing I -465.
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards
Variance Docket No. is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this
Board, which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
