Show All Answers
1.
Will the Board of Adjustment consider my building request?
You will be provided an opportunity to present your case to the Board at a hearing.
2.
What are my chances of getting my request approved?
Staff is not allowed to answer that question since the Board makes the final determination. If you do not agree with the Board’s decision, you have the right to appeal it by filing an appeal with the Maricopa County Superior Court within 30 days of the Board’s decision.
3.
How long does it take for a case to be heard?
Typically 1 to 2 months if all the information is correct and revisions are not necessary. There are exceptions for hillside variances, drainage review, interpretations and complex requests.
4.
Do I have to have a pre-application meeting?
A pre-application meeting is highly recommended for variance requests. This allows the property and staff to evaluate the request(s) and to provide information on the variance application process.
5.
Whom do I contact for the pre-application meeting?
For more information on the individuals or boards to contact, Planning and Development has made available a
Pre-Application Meeting Packet (PDF).
6.
Is there a fee for a variance pre-application meeting?
Yes, based upon the following: Residential with violation $150, Residential without violation $50. The Pre-Application Meeting packet includes the fee schedule and the application materials required for submittal.
7.
What types of cases are heard by the Board?
Deviations to the Zoning Ordinance with regard to applicable zoning standards (i.e. yard setbacks, lot coverage, lot area or width, etc.), hillside and drainage regulations, interpretations, code compliance reviews, appeal of determinations and some temporary use permit requests.
