Board Functions
The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is a seven-member citizen board organized under the zoning ordinance to hear several types of zoning issues. These include:
- Appeals of a determination made by the director of Building and Zoning
- Permissions for certain uses under zoning named as special uses in the zoning ordinance
- Requests for changes in zoning classification (map amendments)
- Requests for relief from specific requirements of the ordinance through variance requests
Public Hearings
A citizen may apply for a public hearing, pay a filing fee, and present his/her case to the ZBA. In some instances, the ZBA makes a final decision on the request, but in most instances, the ZBA makes a recommendation to the full County Board for their final consideration.
