Council approves special use for large indoor sports facility at Deer Creek Business Park

The Noblesville City Common Council on April 28 approved Ordinance 20‑04‑26 to allow an indoor recreational use at Lot 1 in Deer Creek Business Park, at 14469 Oyo Road. The vote was 9–0 on a roll call.

A presenter described the property as an existing 240,000‑square‑foot building, with the applicants proposing to lease roughly 113,000 square feet for Mora Moratogli Academy, a tennis and indoor sports facility. The proposal includes multiple tennis courts, indoor soccer fields and supporting amenities such as locker rooms, restrooms and a pro shop.

The planning commission held a public hearing and recommended adoption 9–0. During council comments a member noted the facility’s owner has coached Serena Williams for over a decade, which council members framed as a notable community asset.

Miss Leece (clerk role) called the roll for the ordinance adoption. The recorded votes were read aloud and the ordinance was declared approved.
