Zoning + Demolition

SPCA Zoning Variance Request Policy:

SPCA represents the interests of all residents within it’s civic boundaries when hearing variance requests.
SPCA encourages all applicants for variances to present their plans to the membership meeting preceding the membership vote.

The membership will vote on new variance requests received at least 14 (calendar) days ahead of the next scheduled meeting during that meeting. Requests submitted within 14 days will be voted at the following month’s meeting.

Membership may vote to table the variance request for one month when there’s justification. Examples are changes stated about the submitted plans, unanswered questions or any issues that arise from the presentation.

SPCA may call a special meeting to vote variance requests when justified. An example is a month without a regularly schedule membership meeting.

Who can vote on variances and rezonings?
