How long does an Exception, Variance, and Conventional Rezoning process take? What about Administrative Deviations and Waivers?
Rezoning (change of zoning district) applications for both conventional zoning districts and Planned Unit Developments are held in a series of Public Hearings before the Planning Commission, Land Use and Zoning Committee, and City Council at City Hall. Applications need to be turned in and all fees paid by the deadline so that it can be scheduled to be heard for the next available Public Hearing. During this time, the applicant will be required to post signs (supplied by the Department) of the proposed change on the subject property and notifications will be mailed to owners of property within 350 feet of the subject property. Administrative Deviation applications are held in a Public Hearing before the Zoning Administrator at the Planning Department offices in the Florida Theatre Building. Applications need to be turned in and all fees paid by deadline so that it can be scheduled to be heard for the next available Public Hearing and notices mailed to owners of property within 350 feet
