Planning Commission: Rezoning
The purpose of this category is to change the zoning classification of a parcel. This process involves a public hearing before the City Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council, and the City Council has final authority to grant or deny the request. Granting of a rezoning must be supported by the Master Plan and must not negatively impact adjacent property owners.

Zoning Board of Appeals: Variance
The purpose of this category focuses on requests for an exception to the land use regulations within the Zoning Ordinance.
Two broad categories that fall under Variance: Dimensional (Non-Use) and Use
- Dimensional - Authorizes a deviation from a requirement related to land improvement or configuration of a building on the property.
- Use - Authorizes a land use not normally permitted in the zoning district.
In either case, the variance request is justified only if special conditions exist on the property that creates a hardship making it impossible to comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
