The Greenwood Board of Zoning Appeals on Oct. 13 unanimously approved written findings and final actions for four development-standards variance petitions and adopted routine procedural items.

The board voted 5-0 to adopt written findings and final actions for variance petitions BZA2025-028, BZA2025-031, BZA2025-032 and BZA2025-033, each motion incorporating evidence submitted into the record. The board also approved minutes from the Sept. 22 meeting and the proposed meeting calendar for next year.

Why it matters: These votes finalize staff and petitioner-submitted evidence into formal decisions on individual development variances, clearing the way for the petitioners to proceed under the conditions stated in those findings.

Summary of actions (selected):
• BZA2025-028 (795 N. Emerson Avenue) — motion to adopt written findings as final decision; motion by Mr. Moll, second by Ms. Peters; vote 5-0.
• BZA2025-031 (2350 Inters Place) — motion to adopt written findings as final decision; motion by Mr. Millburn, second by Mr. Moll; vote 5-0.
• BZA2025-032 (1499 American Way) — motion to adopt written findings as final decision; motion by Mr. King, second by Mr. Moll; vote 5-0.
• BZA2025-033 (800 block, Holmes Road) — motion to adopt written findings as final decision; motion by Ms. Peterson, second by Mr. Millburn; vote 5-0.
• Approval of Sept. 22 minutes — moved by (President), second by Mr. Peterson; vote recorded as 5-0.
• BZA calendar for next year — motion to approve; motion carried 4-0 (record shows one member absent for that vote).

The board directed the corporation counsel to draft written findings of fact reflecting the board’s decisions for the recorded petitions; those findings will be placed on the record for formal adoption at the board’s next meeting.

Less-critical items: The meeting also included recognition of a long-serving board member and routine administrative announcements.
