Zoning Board of Appeals

Purpose of The ZBA

 The ZBA has been established to provide for variances of the Zoning and Site Plan Review Local Law 2007 in cases where strict application of the law would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships with the Law’s general purpose and objectives.

The ZBA is authorized to grant or deny variances in accordance with the standards and procedures set forth in Article 10.

In the event that a land use and development permit has been denied by the Code Enforcement Officer, a variance request may be initiated by filing an application, using forms supplied by the Board. Pages 77 through 88 of the Law provide the information on how to apply and the procedures used by the ZBA.

The following files and applications are used by the ZBA

(please note the applications need to be in 15 calendar days before the scheduled ZBA meeting - see Municipal Calendar)
