Statement of Use
Petitioner respectfully requests a variance of use to construct a multi-
family residential community within the Old Meridian Overlay area of Carmel
(per the attached site and development plans). A variance of use is necessary as
the site is zoned Old Meridian/Office and does not contemplate residential
development as a permissible use of the site. For reference, the following
section of the City of Carmel Zoning Ordinance is cited as follows:
F Chapter 20, Section 20G. 05- zoning to provide for a mix of
compatible, non residential uses, only.
Request: Multi family residential as a permissible land use
Further, the Petitioner respectfully requests variance of certain
development standards to construct the proposed multi- family residential
community. Variances of development standards are necessary as the site is
oddly configured, bound by roadways on two of three sides, and the current
zoning does not contemplate buildings with a footprint larger than 15,000
square feet occupying the site. For reference, the following sections of the City
of Carmel Zoning Ordinance are cited as follows:
Chapter 20, Section 20G.05.05.B Minimum front yard setback:
20 feet
Minimum 10 -foot setback requested
Chapter 20, Section 20G.05.05.B Maximum building footprint:

Maximum 58,732 sq. ft. footprint requested
Chapter 26, Section 26.05 Minimum width of Buffer Yards when
along Pennsylvanian Street (a primary arterial): 15 feet
