REASONS SUPPORTING
THE REQUESTED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
Previous wall signs approved for Parkwood Crossing are consistent with the signs existing in
other similar developments in the Meridian Corridor and are necessary to be competitive in this
market and to allow for reasonable identification of the buildings and the major tenants of the
buildings. This variance will allow a third sign for Building 5, which will be similar in size with
previously approved variances for signs on Building 5, for other buildings in Parkwood Crossing
and for other signs on buildings in similar developments in the corridor.

Docket No.: 11120023 V
Petitioner: Duke Realty Limited Partnership
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 1 -465 frontage provides for greater visibility for wall signs and the number and size of wall signs approved
for this building will be consistent with other buildings in the area.
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 proposed sign will be consistent with other signs existing in the U.S. 31 Corridor Overlay Zone.
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 for major tenants is critical for the success of this building. The third sign will be
consistent with the number and size of signs approved for other buildings in the area.
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel /Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards Variance
Docket No. 11120023 V is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are incorporated
herein by reference and made a part hereof.
