Zoning regulations are in place for many reasons, including the need to prevent negative impacts on neighbors and to protect the property values of a neighborhood. However, sometimes, due to an unusual circumstance on their property, a person is justified in seeking a variance from the regulations. Most variances require the review and approval of the Board of Zoning Appeals, but some may be granted administratively. For more information, please contact the Zoning Administrator at 216-291-4855 or email them.
