Zoning Board of Appeals
Zoning Board of Appeals: 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:
  1. request for changes in zoning classification (map
    amendments);
  2. permission for certain uses under zoning named as special
    uses in the zoning ordinance;
  3. request for relief from specific requirements of the
    ordinance through variance requests; and
  4. appeal of a determination made by the Director of
    Building and Zoning.
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.
