Board of Adjustment: The Safety Valve for Zoning (May 2024)

BOA’s fill a valuable position in the zoning regulatory scheme. By reviewing certain administrative decisions and granting certain approvals to deviate from standard zoning provisions, the BOA provides due process, corrects improper decisions, provides site specific approval on special exceptions and permits equitable relief to hardships. Properly run, it provides a prompt decision on matters important to landowners, after due process and consideration by a separate legal board of appointed citizens not beholden to city bureaucracy. However, the arcane (and expedited) processes can trap the non-lawyer citizen in a “permanently unripe” state with a lack of judicial remedies. These issues (and more) are covered in the presentation and materials.
