For example, if a property owner wants to build closer to the property line than the zoning laws permit, they would apply for an area variance. Common reasons include: Building too close to a neighbors property (reduced setback). Constructing a building taller than the zoning allows.
The zoning board will review your application and either approve, deny, or request modifications before granting the variance. Approval can take anywhere between 30 to 45 days, depending on the number of cases awaiting a hearing.
How to Get a Zoning Variance Find out your propertys zoning designation. Determine what type of zoning variance you need. Get your property surveyed before filing your variance application. Prepare a plan for your proposed project. File a request or written application for your variance with the Zoning Board.
Write neatly and legibly/type your application. State specifically why you need the variance, what your hardship is and why the Ordinance, which caused your denial unfairly affects you. Attach all relevant documents to your application. Avoid, if possible, submitting new documentation to the Board during the Hearing.
