Responsibilities

The Zoning Board's primary duty is to hear petitions or appeals to the application of the terms of the Village's Zoning Code. The Zoning Board has limited authority to grant variations to the provisions of the Zoning Code and primarily only grants a variance when the property owner can demonstrate that the Zoning Code imposes practical difficulties or particular hardship not created by the property owner.
