The application asks for the applicant’s contact details, property information, request type, and supporting explanations. Applicants must return it with the applicable fee, a deed copy, project drawings or pictures, and any other materials requested by staff; county cases also require a certified list of nearby property owners. The final page requires the applicant’s signature before a notary, and the form must be filed at least 28 days before the Board meeting.
Who needs it
Anyone seeking a conditional use, variance, grievance appeal, or conditional use permit transfer for property under the Board of Zoning Appeals’ jurisdiction must file this application.
Why it needs a notary
