Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting 4-28-2026

The Johnson County Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on April 28, 2026, where they addressed two main petitions involving property and signage variances. The first petition concerned a property in Greenwood, Indiana, where the board granted a 90-day extension for the property owner to commence construction after obtaining a building permit, thereby avoiding a violation. The second petition involved Rockline Christian Church's request for a variance to install a larger monument sign with an electronic message center in a residential-agricultural zone. The board discussed sign size, illumination conditions, and hours of operation, ultimately approving the variance with conditions including restricted illumination hours from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and compliance with electronic message center standards. The board also emphasized that approval of the sign does not exempt the church from temporary sign regulations. The motion passed with a 4-1 vote. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed.
