Re: Parking for Proposed Restaurant in "The Corner" Retail Center, 116 Street
and Westfield Boulevard
This will confirm and memorialize my meeting and conversation with Angie
yesterday concerning parking for the proposed restaurant to be located in The Corner
retail center.
BACKGROUND: The Corner is an existing retail center that was developed prior to the
establishment of the current parking development standards under the Carmel Zoning
Ordinance. A variety and mix of tenants have been doing business in the center over the
years including restaurants, grocery stores, banks and other service and retail merchants.
On June 5, 2012, the Special Studies Committee of the Carmel Plan Commission
approved an ADLS amendment petition to allow a new restaurant to be located in the
space previously used and occupied by the Bike Line bicycle shop and the Mangia!
Restaurant. Based upon the current mix of tenants in the center, there are not enough
parking spaces to meet the current parking requirements under the Carmel Zoning
Ordinance with the addition of the new restaurant. Up until November 14, 2011, there
were two restaurants operating in the center and parking was adequate to serve the
customers and patrons of both the retail tenants and the restaurants.
DETERMINATION AND AGREEMENT: Based upon the facts outlined above, it was
determined that the use of space in the center for a second restaurant has not been
discontinued for more than one (1) year which would require, pursuant to Section
28.01.05 of the Carmel Zoning Ordinance, that either a variance be obtained to allow for
a lower number of parking spaces or that additional parking spaces be added to meet the
current parking requirements. Therefore, the reduced number of parking spaces will be
allowed to continue as a legal non conforming development standard for a restaurant use.
The Department requested and the owner, Corner Associates, L.P., has agreed to comply

Accordingly, a bike rack will be installed as shown on the attached site plan to provide
for four (4) bicycle spaces in accordance with the Carmel Zoning Ordinance for the new
restaurant.
On behalf of the owner and the developer, Kite Realty Group, I want to thank you
for your cooperation and assistance on this project.
