Council approves Parks at Crossroads rezoning, developer agrees to 15% rental cap
Summary
Noblesville approved rezoning and a preliminary planned-development plan for a roughly 124-acre Parks at Crossroads project, with the applicant agreeing to a 15% cap on homes that may be leased. The project reduces previously proposed units to about 324 homes and expands open space, council members said.
The Noblesville Common Council on Oct. 7 voted 8-0 to adopt Ordinance No. 36-10-25 (rezoning) and Ordinance No. 37-10-25 (planned development and preliminary plan) to permit the Parks at Crossroads residential development east of Promise Road between State Road 32 and East 181st Street.
Miss Stephens, staff, introduced the zoning and PUD ordinances to the council. John Davosiewicz, a land-use attorney representing applicant Boomerang Development, said the proposal had been revised after earlier feedback, reducing the total number of homes by about 35 to roughly 324 units and increasing single-family detached homes and on-site open space and amenities.
Davosiewicz told the council the project had been reviewed by the plan commission and received a favorable recommendation. Council members raised questions about rental restrictions and homeowner-association enforcement. In response, the developer agreed to add language limiting the number of dwellings that may be leased to 15% of the total number of dwellings, and the applicant committed to provide the amended commitment in writing to the clerk-treasurer’s office the next morning.
Several council members praised revisions to architecture and streetscape and noted the project had undergone ARB and technical review. After the applicant’s spoken commitment to include the 15% cap in the commitments, the council moved to adopt the ordinances as amended. The ordinances were approved by roll-call vote, 8 ayes, 0 nays.
Council members and staff noted continued post-approval interactions between the developer, the HOA and planning staff regarding enforcement and any additional rental-related restrictions. The council’s action authorizes rezoning and adoption of the preliminary development plan; implementation details such as final platting, construction phasing and HOA documents will be handled through subsequent administrative approvals and commitments.
