The Greenwood Board of Zoning Appeals meeting was held Monday, November 9, 2026. The board approved the October 26 minutes and adopted written findings for variance BZA 2026-018. For BZA 2026-019, the board approved PY Homes’ request to reduce side-yard setbacks from 8 feet to 6 feet on specified RA-zoned parcels, conditioned on the final plans substantially conforming to the site plan in the staff report. The request reinstated variances previously granted for the Walker Farm parcels; the motion carried 5–0, and the board directed counsel to prepare written findings.

For BZA 2026-020, concerning a proposed wedding-venue structure in Oldtown, staff recommended denial of requests involving masonry and building transparency standards.

The board also directed counsel to prepare written findings. No procurement, contracting, or spending activity was identified.
