ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) will meet on the second Thursday of every month,
provided that there are discussion items appearing on the regular monthly agenda. The
Board may also meet as needed in order to convene special meetings.
The primary purpose of the meetings will be to hear and decide appeals of certain
administrative decisions made by City staff and to authorize variances from the
requirements of the Land Use Code. It is estimated that the Board will consider
approximately 40 variance requests in 2008.
The 1994 sign code changes require that nonconforming signs must be brought into
compliance by February 15, 2009. In January, 2008, City staff will be mailing notices to
affected business owners, advising them of the need to correct their signs by the
following year. It is anticipated that the ZBA may start to receive sign variance
applications in 2008 from some of the business owners.
The Board will also be involved in other projects in 2008. As the need arises, the ZBA
will be reviewing proposed Land Use Code revisions that will be necessary as the City
continues refinement of the Code. No other special projects or issues are anticipated at
this time, but they will be brought to the Board as needed.
The Board will hold at least one breakfast work session. These sessions typically occur
on the morning of a regularly scheduled monthly meeting.
