What this form is
Use this four-page packet to apply for a variance and prepare the checklist items the city uses to assess whether a submission is complete. It asks for project and contact information, an applicant’s sworn certification, and supporting materials such as a legal description, site plan, and letter of intent. The city says an incomplete application will not be scheduled for a Board of Adjustment and Appeals meeting unless the Development Services Director waives requirements.
Who needs it
A property owner or duly authorized agent seeking a variance from zoning requirements should complete the application and prepare the listed supporting materials.
Why it needs a notary
The application contains a jurat: the applicant signs and swears to the certification before a notary, who completes the subscribed-and-sworn block.
