The Board of Adjustment hears and decides exceptions to or variations from lot line requirements, yard regulations, and parking regulations, as set out in the City’s zoning Ordinance. Appeals to the Board of Adjustment may be taken by any person aggrieved, or by any officer, department, Board or Bureau of the City affected by any decision of the Building Official. Such appeal shall be taken within a reasonable time, as provided by the rules of the Board, by filing with the Building Official and with the Board of Adjustment a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof.
The Board of Adjustment shall have the following powers: (1) To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is an error in any order, requirement, decision or determination made by the Building Official and may affirm or reverse, in whole or part, such decision of the Enforcement Officer. (2) To hear requests for variances from the literal provisions of Ordinances in instances where strict enforcement would cause undue hardship due to circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration and grant such variances only when it is demonstrated that such action will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the provisions of the Ordinance. (3) To hold public hearings, and decide exceptions to or variations of applicable Ordinances. The Board meets to resolve inspection issues. The City Attorney and Building Inspector meet with the Board to present the City’s case. Five citizen advisors plus three alternates serve five-year terms and are appointed by the Mayor with approval of the City Council.
