GREYHOUND COMMONS~ PHASE II
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Kite Development Company has filed a Developmental Standards Variance application for the
parking for the four restaurants to be located at the southeast corner of 146th Street and Keystone
Avenue, just south of the existing Lowe's building. This property is located in a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) district that includes the Lowe's building.
Abuelo's has been designated for one of the four restaurants with specific ADLS plans approved by
the Plan Commission. A Fox and Hound restaurant has been proposed just east of the Abuelo's.
The landscaping, lighting and signage are proposed to be consistent among all four restaurants.
Kite proposes that the parking ratio used for restaurants be changed from 1 space per 2.5 patron
seats to 1 space per 3 patron seats. The new ratio will be consistent or more restrictive than
surrounding communities' parking requirements including:
Indianapolis: 1 parking space per 4 patron seats
Westfield: 1 parking space per 3 patron seats; and
Fishers: 1 parking space per 3 patron seats
The variance will provide for adequate parking for the four restaurants in the amount of 514
parking spaces and will allow for more parking lot landscaping throughout the site.

.
Petitioner:
Kite Greyhound, LLC..
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS VARIANCE
The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community because:
the property owner will provide adequate off street parking for customers and employees of the restaurants.
.
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 property owner will provide adequate off street parking for customers and employees of the restaurants.
,
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 Zoning Ordinance requires an excessive amount of parking spaces that results in a less attractive site.
