The Noblesville Common Council met Aug. 23 in the Noblesville City Hall Council Chambers for a regular meeting. The next meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 13 at city hall, 16 S. 10th St., Noblesville.
What happened: The council denied an ordinance of amendments for Union Crossing Planned Development.
Why it matters: After a failed motion from the Noblesville Plan Commission at its Aug. 15 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council followed suit, denying requests and amendments for elevations, reduction of lots, increased lot size, addition of a playground and common area and increases of square footage for the Union Crossing subdivision at the southeast corner of Ind. 32/38 and Union Chapel Road in Noblesville.
What happened: The council discussed an ordinance of amendments for Conner Crossing subdivision’s Albany Ridge section.
Why it matters: The ordinance is for a preliminary development plan of the 111-lot section of the overall 324-lot subdivision’s preliminary development plan to add six lots, bringing the total number of lots to 330, north of 191st Street, west of Little Chicago Road and south of Ind. 38.
What’s next: The council will vote on the ordinance at its next meeting Sept. 13.
What happened: The council discussed an ordinance for property at 1255 S. 16th St., Noblesville.

Petitioner and developer RealAmerica Development, LLC, requested the rezoning for a project that “caters to seniors on a limited income,” according to city documents. RealAmerica has plans to apply for rental housing tax credits, and the 72 housing units would be available to individuals over 55 making less than 60 percent of area median income.
