TITLE: Board of adjustment minutes
DATES: 1988-
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological.
DESCRIPTION: The board of adjustment meets monthly to consider appeals to Cedar City zoning decisions and to hear petitions for variances or special exceptions to zoning specifications (Utah Code Annotated, 10-9-103(1), 1997). The board consists of five members and alternate members as the chief executive officer considers appropriate (UCA 10-9-701(2)(a) 1997). In the minutes the secretary summarizes considerations brought before the board. The majority of requests are for variances to home occupation, such as home owner requests to operate commercial activities from their homes. The secretary reports the date and time of meeting, the names of those present, and records the board's decision on each consideration. When voting is not unanimous the minutes report who voted for and against. Beginning in 1994 the minutes begin to include some home inspection reports. These minutes document all meetings of the Board of Adjustment. The board consists of "five members and whatever alternate members that the chief executive officer considers appropriate". The duties of the Board of Adjustment are to hear and decide on "appeals from zoning decisions applying the zoning ordinance; special exceptions to the terms of the zoning ordinance; and variances from the terms of the zoning ordinance". The minutes are used to document requests, discussions, and decisions of the Board.
