In 2024, the Board of Zoning Appeals heard a total of 23 petitions an decrease from 18 petitions in 2023. Of the 23 petitions, 20 were for Development Standards Variances, while the remaining 3 petitions in were requests for Special Exception Uses requests. The PABD staff continues to evaluate the trends in DSV petitions, and plans to incorporate minor UDO amendments in the upcoming BN District revision to address some of the repeat case types. The most common variance request in 2024 was for relief from the requirement to install sidewalks across the frontage of a property. This came up four different times in 2024, and every instance was in a neighborhood which had primarily developed out several years or even decades ago, and now an empty lot was being developed. The other common variance type was a request to utilize crushed stone or gravel on a portion of a site. These two items will be discussed and considered as potential amendments during the upcoming UDO amendment on the BN district standards.
