FINDINGS OF FACT - SPECIAL USE
1. The Special Use in Flood Plain District, Ordinance Z-160, Section 21.6 as amended ~ce:
does not apply and all prerequisites have been met by Petitioner as verified by:
Not within flood plain district.
2. The Special Use will be consistent with the Character and Permitted Land Use of the
zoning district and Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan because:
our mission is to serve the community's spiritual needs while being an integral part
of the neighborhood. Structure's design will blend nicely with surrounding homes.
3. The Special Use is physically suitable for the land in question because:
structure, parking and plantings will make the best use of available space, Roads
will adequately handle the intermittent traffic n small church will create.
4. The Special Use will not injuriously or adversely affect the adjacent land or property
values because:
a church facility is typically viewed a~ a welcome neighbor. The church's size and
style will be compatible with surrounding single-family homes.
5. The Special Use will not adversely affect vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow, nor the
adequate availability of water, sewage, or storm drainage facilities, or police or fire
protection because:
current roads will easily accommodate the church's traffic (typically weekend and
off-peak weekday times); ali utilities and storm drainage are available.
6. The Board has reviewed the requirements of Ordinance Z-160, Section 21.3 (1-25) as
they relate to Special Use, and does not find that those criteria prevent the granting of the
Special Use:
As submitted and reviewed. Sidewalks as addressed in 21.3-4 will be installed
during final phase of eolmtruetion.

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:
churches bring a general uplift to community standards and morals.
Additional lot coverage consists of parking areas that will be landscaped to
conform to City of Carmel buffering requirements.
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:
churches lack the degrading aspect usually associated with commercial
structures such as convenience stores, gas stations, etc.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in
practical difficulties in the use of the p,roperty because:
without requested variance in lot coverage percentage, site would be
unfeasible even for a modest-sized church due to required building size and
parking spaces needed for congregation numbers.
DECISION
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay 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.

FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community because:
churches bring a general uplift to community standards and morals.
Provisions for traffic/pedestrian flow have been addressed in setback
reductions requested.
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:
churches lack the degrading aspect usually associated with commercial
structures such as convenience stores, gas stations, etc.
The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in
