Avalon single-family sections
Five distinct sections, each with its own sub-association documents and standards.
Avalon of Fishers · Fishers, IN
A PUD community of single-family sections and townhomes, where the PUD ordinance is the rulebook
Avalon of Fishers is a planned mixed-residential community in southeast Fishers with five single-family sections plus townhome neighborhoods, organized under a master association with sub-associations for each section. It is zoned PUD, which means the adopted PUD ordinance — not the UDO's R1–R5 table — sets the setbacks, height, and coverage for your lot.
History & architecture
How Avalon of Fishers was built
Avalon was master-planned as a mixed community with five single-family home sections and separate townhome sections, including Towns at Avalon North and the Townhomes of Avalon.
Engineering documentation for the community confirms the design was carried out in compliance with the Avalon PUD and City of Fishers standards, establishing its PUD zoning.
Townhome construction is documented as recently as 2014, indicating a phased build-out over more than a decade rather than a single release.
Governance is layered: an Avalon of Fishers Master Association plus sub-associations — including the Enclave and the townhome associations — each with their own recorded declarations, administered through a professional management company.
The specific PUD ordinance number and the original developer are not published in the sources available to us; we pull the adopted ordinance from the city before design.

Zoning & overlays
Common zoning codes in Avalon of Fishers
These are the base districts and overlays we see most often on Avalon of Fishers lots. Always confirm your parcel's district and overlays on the Metro zoning map before design decisions get expensive.
PUDPlanned Unit Development district
Most master-planned Fishers subdivisions are zoned PUD, which means a Council-adopted PUD ordinance — not the R1–R5 table — sets lot size, setbacks, height, and coverage. Pull the recorded PUD ordinance and commitments for the parcel before designing.
Overlays that apply here
Floodplain standards
Chapter 9 floodplain standards (Fall Creek / Geist watershed)
Not a Chapter 4 overlay but a city-wide standard over FEMA-mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas. Construction in the SFHA needs a separate Floodplain Development Permit through Public Works before the building permit issues.
Permitting path
- 1Start with the adopted Avalon PUD ordinance and any recorded commitments. In a PUD the ordinance replaces the R1–R5 dimensional table, and it is the only reliable source for your setbacks, height limit, and coverage.
- 2Identify which sub-association your lot belongs to. Avalon's master association and each section association have separate declarations, and the applicable architectural standard depends on the section.
- 3Attached-housing sections carry additional constraints — party walls, shared maintenance obligations, and limited common area — that determine whether an exterior change is even permissible.
- 4A change that cannot meet the PUD standard is a PUD amendment through the PUD Committee, Plan Commission, and City Council, not a simple BZA variance. Plan the schedule accordingly.
- 5A compliant addition, remodel, or accessory structure is an Improvement Location Permit — an administrative Department of Community Development review with no public hearing.
- 6Where the parcel sits in a recorded subdivision plat, the platted setback controls over the UDO table. Read the plat before trusting the district minimums.
- 7Relief from a setback, height, or impervious standard in a base district is a development standards variance at the Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals.
- 8In a PUD subdivision, the governing standard is the adopted PUD ordinance. Deviating from it can mean a PUD amendment through the PUD Committee, Plan Commission, and City Council rather than a simple BZA variance.
- 9City approval and HOA approval are separate. Fishers publishes a Homeowners Association Guide making clear that a permit does not satisfy private covenants, and an architectural committee approval does not satisfy the UDO.
Why it matters
Avalon of Fishers's place in Fishers
It is one of the clearest local illustrations of how PUD zoning works in Fishers: the ordinance, not the UDO table, is the governing document.
Its mix of single-family and townhome product means design constraints vary dramatically block to block within one named community.
The layered association structure is a common source of stalled projects when the wrong board is asked for approval.

What this means for your Avalon of Fishers project
- Get the PUD ordinance before anything else. Assuming an R-district setback in a PUD community is the single most common way an Avalon project loses weeks.
- In the single-family sections, large existing homes on planned-community lots mean rear additions, screened porches, and outdoor living structures are the usual scope — and coverage under the PUD is the number to check.
- In the townhome sections, exterior alteration is often limited to what the declaration explicitly permits. Interior remodeling is usually the productive path there.
- Confirm which association reviews your request. Submitting to the master association when the section association holds jurisdiction wastes a review cycle.
- Detached accessory structures and fences are frequently addressed directly in a PUD ordinance rather than the UDO. Read the ordinance's accessory-structure language before designing a pool house or shed.
- A deviation from the PUD is a legislative amendment through Council, so where a design goal conflicts with the ordinance we look for a compliant alternative first.
