# Board of Zoning Appeals - October 26, 2026

The City of Carmel, Indiana Board of Zoning Appeals held its regular meeting on October 26, 2026. The board approved four of six Crew Car Wash signage variances across its Rangeline Road and Michigan Road locations: requests concerning canopy/accessory-structure signage and reduced snap-frame signage were approved at both sites. Requests to replace existing static signs with electronic message boards were denied at both locations. The discussion addressed sign-code compliance and the proposed signs’ purpose within the car-wash queues. The board also noted that petitioners previously denied a short-term-rental request for 9649 Sycamore Road had sought judicial review.

The board approved Jacob Gordon’s special-exception request to operate the existing home at 1225 East 105th Street as a non-owner-occupied short-term rental. The approval applies only to that house, is valid for one year, and requires a further appearance before the board to continue. Neighbors raised concerns about transient guests, traffic, safety, drainage, and possible future development; the board clarified that subdivision and construction proposals were not before it. No procurement, contracting, or purchasing activity was identified.
