The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health,safety, morals,and general welfare of the community because: the Petitioner's sign is necessary for patients to find its office at the St. Vincent Carmel Hospital campus. This additional sign for the building is the only proposed sign(at this time)for the west facade. The sign design and placement is consistent with existing building identification signs at the hospital campus and therefore will not be injurious to the public health,safety,morals and general welfare of the community. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variances will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because: the sign design and placement is consistent with existing building identification signs at the St. Vincent Carmel Hospital campus,as well as medical office buildings in the surrounding area. The sign meets(all but one of)the standards of the Carmel Sign Ordinance. 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: the Petitioner is leasing office space at one of the medical office buildings on the 19+ acre St. Vincent Carmel Hospital campus and a building identification sign is essential for patients to find the Petitioner's office space. Prohibiting an additional sign would result in increased difficult for the Petitioner to serve its patients.

The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health,safety, morals, and general welfare of the community because: the Petitioner's sign is being re-used from another location where the Petitioner performed medical services. Therefore,it is unable to meet the 70% rule because it was not designed for this building in particular.The sign design and placement is however,consistent with existing building identification signs at the St.Vincent Carmel Hospital campus, as well as medical office buildings in the surrounding area. Therefore,the sign will not be injurious to the public health, safety,morals and general welfare of the community. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variances will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because:the sign design and placement is consistent with existing building identification signs at the St. Vincent Carmel Hospital campus,as well as medical office buildings in the surrounding area. The sign will not damage the building or cause any change in regular day to day business. Therefore, it would not affect the use and value of the area adjacent to the property in an adverse manner. 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: the Petitioner is leasing office space at one of the medical office buildings on the 19+acre St. Vincent Carmel Hospital campus and a building identification sign is essential for patients to find Petitioner's office space. Six signs arc permitted on the building and it has two,both of which arc oriented to Meridian Street. Petitioner's sign is on a different facade,but is oriented to meridian Street and the parking lot serving the side of the medical office building where its office is located.
