Home » All City Services » Permits & Licenses » Planning » Minor Zoning Map Adjustment Appeal
The purpose of a minor map adjustment is to eliminate split-lot classifications, shift boundaries to coincide with a newly created lot line as part of a subdivision or resubdivision, or create uniform boundary lines on the Official Zoning Map or Future Land Use Map of the Master Plan.
An application for a minor map adjustment to the Official Zoning Map shall be considered by the Director of the Department of Safety and Permits within forty-five (45) days. The Director of the Department of Safety and Permits may approve or deny the application after evaluating it against the approval standards of Article 4, Section 4.7.E of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
An aggrieved party may appeal the Director of the Department of Safety and Permits decisions on minor map adjustments to the Official Zoning Map to the Board of Zoning Adjustments within forty-five (45) days of the Director’s decision. Note that appeals of decisions of the Executive Director of the City Planning Commission on minor map adjustments to the Future Land Use Map of the Master Plan may be appealed to the City Planning Commission within forty-five (45) days of the Executive Director’s decision.
