Allen County BZA denies request to allow landscaping business at 4634 Schwartz Rd
Summary
The Allen County Board of Zoning Appeals denied UVAR-2026-0012, a proposal from Andrew Knapp to allow a landscaping business at 4634 Schwartz Rd, after a second continuance; the board recorded a 3–1 vote to deny with one member recused.
The Allen County Board of Zoning Appeals on June 17 denied UVAR-2026-0012, a petition by Andrew Knapp to allow a landscaping business at 4634 Schwartz Rd (A1 Agricultural). The public hearing on the item had already been continued twice and was closed before the board took final action.
After a staff summary and board discussion — and with one member recusing from the vote — an initial motion resulted in a 2–2 tie. David Bailey then moved to deny the petition based on Findings of Fact; Adam Day seconded and the motion to deny carried, recorded in the minutes as "3, and 1 respectively." The minutes indicate one member recused; the record does not name the recused member. The denial is entered in the board's Findings of Fact and will be part of the official minutes.
