The Zoning Officer refuses to give me a zoning permit and says that I will have to obtain a variance. Can the Mayor or [city-type] Committee members order the Zoning Officer to give me a variance?

No. In fact, under some circumstances it may even be a violation of the criminal code to do so. The best advice we can give you if you are unhappy with the Zoning Officers decision is to contact the Director of Community Development & Planning first. The Director will review the file and consult with the [city-type] Administrator and/or Municipal Counsel. If you are unhappy with the Directors conclusion then you should contact the [city-type] Administrators Office. – Last Update: November 3, 2007 which is 844 days ago.
