Land Use Controls and Regulations

A landowner wants to build a structure that does not comply with the current zoning setback requirements. To obtain permission for this specific deviation, the owner would typically apply for a:

  • a.Building permit
  • b.Conditional use permit
  • c.Variance
  • d.Certificate of occupancy

A variance permits a specific deviation from zoning requirements, usually because strict application would cause an unnecessary hardship. A conditional use permit allows a use otherwise not permitted in a zone; a building permit and certificate of occupancy address construction and readiness for use.
