About each permit
Zoning Variance (City Board of Adjustment)
The City's own Board of Adjustment page confirms the Board may 'authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variance from the terms of this chapter as will not be contrary to the public interest' where a literal enforcement would create unnecessary hardship, and that its decisions are final and quasi-judicial. Triggered when a proposed use or structure cannot meet the Zoning Code's dimensional or use standards and no ordinary path to approval exists.
