Board of Zoning Appeals tables South Broadway parking-variance request after petitioner fails to appear

The Board of Zoning Appeals on May 26, 2026, voted to table a special-exception request for a parking variance tied to proposed apartments at 52–54 South Broadway after the petitioner did not appear to answer board members’ questions, the chair said.

The action came after the chair opened the meeting, called roll and moved to approve the previous month’s minutes. During roll call, Brent Wing, Mike Subl, Steven Kendall, Joe Mox and Richard Blair each answered present.

When the board introduced new business — a special-exception request for a parking variance for the property identified as parcel 52-08-27-302 — members asked whether the petitioner was present. The chair said the board could not proceed without the petitioner and that questions needed answers before a decision: "We can't make any decisions without him being here because we need questions answered," the chair said.

A committee member moved, "I make a motion that we uh table this till the next meeting," and another committee member seconded. The motion was approved by voice vote. No formal roll-call tally linked to individual members was recorded in the transcript. The board took no public comment on the item and adjourned the meeting shortly afterward.

The petition will be placed on the board’s agenda at a future meeting; no date or supporting materials were specified in the record provided.
