Board continues petitions for sign modifications and withdrawals in Indianapolis

The City Council of Indianapolis, IN, convened on May 13, 2025, for a meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals, Division 2. The agenda included several petitions and requests for continuances, as well as a withdrawal of a petition.

The meeting began with the discussion of Petition 2025 UV 2006, located at 5060 East 62nd Street. Staff requested a continuance due to a lack of public notice, which had been provided but was delivered late. The board acknowledged this request.

Next, Petition 2025 UV 2007, located at 6248 Lisonbee Road, was addressed. A registered neighborhood organization filed a timely automatic continuance for this petition, moving it to June 10, 2024. The board acknowledged this continuance as well.

The meeting then moved to Item Number 5, concerning Petition 2025 DB 2013 at 3524 North Meridian Street. Joe Calder, representing the petitioner, informed the board that staff requested a change to the proposed sign type, which is currently pending. Despite the lack of a quorum, Calder agreed to request a continuance to June 10, with notice if necessary. The board acknowledged this request, and staff indicated they had no issues with the continuance.

Lastly, staff brought attention to Petition 2025 DV 2010, located at 2001 East Pleasant Parkway South Drive and 1500 Villa Avenue. Staff reported that the petitioner wished to withdraw this petition, which required acknowledgment from the board.

In summary, the meeting focused on continuances for several petitions due to procedural issues and a withdrawal of one petition. The next scheduled meeting will continue discussions on these matters on June 10, 2024.
