The Zoning Board of Review processes all applications for Zoning Variances, Zoning Appeals and Special Use Permits, in compliance with the City's Zoning Ordinances.
Applications
There are two types of zoning forms, and each serves a different purpose:
- The Zoning Determination form is to request information about the current zoning of the property. There is a $50 fee associated with this form. This form does not alter the zoning or require going before the Zoning Board.
- The Zoning Application is the form one must fill out to get a Zoning Variance, a Special Use Permit, or make other alterations to the current zoning. There is a $50 fee plus the cost of advertising and postage* , and you must appear before the Zoning Board. (*Fees will be determined by Planning Department staff)

Zoning Check
