Plan Ahead! BOOS a. If your business is opening in an existing building, it may take one week to three months to get your sign approved by the Department of Community Services (DOCS). The approval time depends on: i. If the proposed sign meets the requirements of the Sign Ordinance and/or that specific building and only requires an ADLS Amendment/Sign Permit application. ii. If the proposed sign does not meet the requirements and needs a variance. iii. Lastly, if you do need a variance, the date the application is submitted matters because it needs to meet the filing deadlines. b. If your business is opening in a new building that is yet to be built,the Plan Commission will need to approve the project before the Department can issue any sign permits. 2. Select a sign company. a. You will need a sign company to make an illustration of the sign design you would like. b. If you need inspiration, you could look to the Sign Ordinance Visual Guide on the City's website to see what other businesses have done. c. Please note—do not sign a contract for the fabrication of your sign until you have received a Sign Permit approval from the Department! 3. Talk to your Landlord. a. If you are a tenant and have a landlord, show them the drawing of your proposed sign. b. The landlord will need to check that the sign meets the requirements for their building if they have specific requirements that were agreed upon when the building was built. c. Please note—sometimes the Landlord may not have record of the previous commitments to the City regarding the sign packages for their building. So do not be surprised if when you submit to the City for approval, DOCS asks you to make changes. d. If the Landlord does know their specific requirements, they may also ask you to make changes to your sign design.These changes must be made in order to get Landlord approval. e. The approval of the sign design can be handled in the following ways: i. Physically signing the ADLS Amendment/Sign Permit application ii. Or the landlord can provide a letter on letterhead that authorizes you,the tenant, to apply for the sign permit. f. You might also need to ask the landlord for a copy of the site plan, if you do not already have one. (You will need this when you turn in your sign permit application.) 4. Contact DOCS for feedback. a. Rachel Boone, Planning Administrator, is the contact at DOCS for signage. b. It is best to email her the proposed sign rendering/illustration for her to do preliminary review of the sign design. Her email is rboone @carmel.in.gov. c. You may also call her if you like at 317-571-2417 to set up an appointment to review the sign design together in person. 5. Turn in your ADLS Amendment/Sign Permit application. a. After review with Rachel, you can fill out and turn in the ADLS Amendment/Sign Permit (combination) application. b. Please fill out as many blanks as possible. c. If you do not know the zoning information or Parcel ID number for your tenant space or property, it can be found on the City's GIS website. d. Be sure to have your landlord sign off on the application or submit a letter of authorization. e. You will also need to have the application notarized to affirm that what you filled out is true to the best of your knowledge. Notary services are available in the DOCS office for no fees. 1 f. Provide two copies to DOCS for review. i. One will be given back to you for your records. ii. You may need to provide copies to your sign company and/or your landlord for their records as well. g. It may take 5-10 business days for your application to be processed. h. Fees are as follows: i. ADLS Amendment fee: $100 for the application + $25 per sign ii. Sign permit application fee: $92 iii. Sign erection fee:$37 per sign face iv. Sign per square foot fee: $1.88 v. Inspection fee: $123 or provide photo of sign within a week of installation for no fee i. DOCS will let you know when your permit is ready to be picked up and paid for. DOCS will accept cash and checks made payable to the City of Carmel. Credit cards are not accepted. 6. Review Procedure. a. DOCS will more thoroughly review your ADLS Amendment/Sign Permit application. b. If the proposed sign meets the requirements of the Sign Ordinance and the specific sign package for your building, the ADLS Amendment/Sign Permit application will be approved and you can proceed with production and installation of your sign. c. If the sign almost meets the requirements, you may be asked to make additional changes to the design. This would be to help it fit in better with the other tenants, or to respect architectural features of the building, etc. i. If you are agreeable to the changes,you may have your sign company make the changes, submit a new drawing to DOCS, and the process will be minimally delayed. ii. If you do not agree to the changes,you have the option to have the sign reviewed by the Special Studies Committee of the Plan Commission instead of the Department.This may delay your approval for a week to two months, depending on the next filing deadline. 1. The item will be placed on the next available agenda of the Special Studies Committee. They meet on the first Tuesday of every month. 2. Whatever decision the Committee makes will be the determining factor for the design of the sign. iii. Please note that the Department also has the right to send the proposed sign to go before the Plan Commission Special Studies Committee for approval. d. If the proposed sign does not meet the Sign Ordinance or the sign package for that particular building, a variance may be required. i. DOCS will work with you to try to find ways to avoid the variance process. But if no other options are available, the variance option is the last resort. ii. The variance request will be heard before the Board of Zoning Appeals. iii. Here is a link to their calendar. iv. The variance process requires a separate application, additional fees, and public notice. v. You have the option to have an attorney to file your variance application. This is not required. DOCS will help you represent your business, or your sign company may also be able to help. vi. Please see the variance application for more information on the process. e. Once variance approval is granted, if necessary, then the ADLS Amendment/Sign Permit application may be submitted for final review and approval from DOCS. 7. Last steps! a. Once the sign is installed, submit a picture of the sign or signs to Rachel to be added to the file. This will close your file. b. Email submittal is the preferred method. rboone @carmel.in.gov 2
