The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) is a seven-member board that hears and decides primarily zoning variances (e.g., setback encroachment) and temporary use permits (e.g., sales trailer). The Board is also responsible for the hearing and disposition of appeals from any order or decision made by a City administrative officer in enforcing the zoning ordinance. BZA meets the second Thursday of each month in City Council Chambers at 21 S. State Street.
