City of Noblesville - Board of Zoning Appeals 2/2/26

The City of Noblesville Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on February 2, 2026, primarily focused on zoning variances related to property development and improvements. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a conditional use variance for a 14,240 square foot addition to Our Lady of Grace church to add a new preschool facility, with stipulations on construction entrance and matching building materials. Another agenda item involved a variance request for a five-foot fence height on a corner lot, exceeding the four-foot limit, with considerations about HOA approval and city setback requirements. Additionally, variances were approved for landscaping and parking lot design at an industrial site on Park 32 West Drive, allowing reduced building-based landscaping and fewer parking lot islands to accommodate site maneuverability and emergency access. The board also reviewed right-of-way adjustments and associated variances for parking lot setbacks and landscaping near State Road 32 and 38, related to state road improvement projects. Motions to approve these variances were passed unanimously or with strong support, with conditions to ensure compliance with city standards and community welfare.
