What are Variances?
A variance is a request to appeal regulations set forth in the City’s Zoning and Sign Ordinance. Variance requests typically involve issues such as setback requirements and height requirements. Variances to requirements may be considered if the applicant proves that a hardship (other than financial) exists. Variance requests are submitted to the Planning and Zoning Department and decided upon by the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA).
