What is a Zoning Variance?

A Zoning Variance is a special permit allowing property use that deviates from standard zoning laws.

• Exception to Rules: Grants flexibility in land use.
• Approval Process: Requires local authority consent.
• Impact Considerations: Evaluates environmental and community effects.
• Temporary or Permanent: Some variances are time-bound.

Zoning variances enable creative property development while maintaining regulatory balance.
