The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) holds public hearings on administrative appeals and zoning variances. The BZA holds a public hearing before deciding on each minor and major zoning variance. Minor variances are for single family additions, garages, fences and pools; all other variances are major variances. The Board of Zoning Appeals will conduct a public hearing within 4 weeks of the application's submission. Administrative appeals are challenges of decisions made by the zoning administrator. Decisions of the BZA and the Planning Commission are final unless they are appealed to the City Council.
