Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA)

The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) is a quasi-judicial body of five members that meets on the 1st Monday of every month at City Hall (Council Chambers) 16 South 10th Street, Noblesville, Indiana 46060. Three citizen members are appointed by the Mayor, one citizen member is appointed by the Common Council, and one member is appointed by the plan commission as the extra-territorial jurisdiction member. The Board is charged with the responsibility of hearing appeals, requests for variances to the land use zoning regulations of the city, and requests for conditional uses--all further explained in their Rules of Procedure. The Board conducts public hearings for citizen input in order to make their decisions.

Agendas for the meetings are posted approximately 3 weeks prior to the meeting and staff reports for the items are linked on the agenda approximately 5 days prior to the meeting. You can find agendas for public meetings by visiting the document center. Each agenda item names the Planning Staff member working on the item and includes a link to email them directly.
