Recommendation to City Council: ZBA Recommendation to Amend Ordinance 509, Section
29.7 and Section 27.3. Mr. Burdine stated the Zoning Board of Adjustment acted on a variance
request and was blasted by a property owner that wasn't aware the variance was being requested.
State law requires that "due notice" be given to the public. Due notice in this case is the posting of
the agenda 72 hours in advance of the meeting. If we treat a variance request like a zone change and
notify property owners within 200' of the subj ect property, etc., the fee for a variance request would
be raised to $250, the same fee as collected for a zone change. The Zoning Board of Adjustment
did not want to raise the fee, but wanted the adjoining property owners to be aware of the variance
request. Hence, their decision to give the applicant forms to have their surrounding property owners
sign stating whether they approve or disapprove of it.
A lengthy discussion among the Commissioners ensued regarding the notification process for
valiance requests and whether the fee should be increased if the cost to the City increased. If the
process remains as it is, the fee should remain as it is.
Commissioner Kevin Cole made the motion, seconded by Vice Chairman Pat Lopez, to reject the
Zoning Board of Adjustments recorrunendation to amend Ordinance No. 509, Section 29.7 and
Section 27.3.
Motion Passed 7 to 0.
3
Commissioner Robert Larsen made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Peggy Mayfield -Royer
to Amend Section 27.3 of the Ordinance by posting the agenda 72 hours in advance of the meeting
as required by law and publish notice in the approved city newspaper, with the additional cost to be
included in the variance fee.
Richard Burdine told the Commission they would be violating the Open Meetings Act if they act
on this motion since it was not on the agenda.
Commissioner Robert Larsen withdrew his motion.
