However, sometimes situations arise where landowners or developers may need to make an exception or change how a parcel of land is used. This is where zoning appeals come in. Below, we break down the key concepts associated with zoning appeals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Zoning_Board_of_Adjustment_Junta_de_Ajuste_de_Zonificacion\"><\/span><strong>1. Zoning Board of Adjustment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is the body in charge of overseeing the administration of zoning regulations and handling appeals. Acts as a mediating entity between zoning authorities and property owners or developers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>oversees rule administration and appeals<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Nonconforming_use_Uso_no_conforme\"><\/span><strong>2. Nonconforming use<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This term refers to a property that does not follow current zoning regulations, but is legal because the use existed before the creation of the zone. If the use began after the creation of the zone, then it would be illegal.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>legal if use existed prior to zone creation, illegal otherwise<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Variance_Varianza\"><\/span><strong>3. Variance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Refers to an exception to the permitted use in a specific area based on hardship or adversity. For example, if a landowner cannot use their land in the permitted manner due to unique physical characteristics of the site, they could request a variance.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>use exception granted based on hardship<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Special_exception_Excepcion_especial\"><\/span><strong>4. Special exception<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike a variance, a special exception is granted based on the public interest. It can be granted if a particular project is beneficial to the community, even if it does not exactly comply with zoning regulations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>based on public interest<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Amendment_Enmienda\"><\/span><strong>5. Amendment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This process is referred to as a zoning change or \u201crezoning.\u201d It is a change to existing zoning regulations. A property owner or developer may apply for an amendment if they wish to change the permitted use of a parcel of land.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>change of zones; rezoning<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Zoning appeals offer an avenue for property owners and developers to work within the framework of zoning laws, while considering the needs and particularities of individual projects.
