How are zoning variances decided in Titusville?
Titusville variances go to the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, and the hardship must come from the property itself rather than cost or the owner's choices.
In Titusville, a variance provides relief from zoning code requirements when strict compliance would create unique difficulties for an owner. Typical requests seek relief from setback, building height, parking and landscaping rules.
The hardship must relate to special conditions specific to the property, and the variance must be the minimum needed. Economic or self imposed conditions do not justify a variance.
Requests are heard by the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, a board of five regular and two alternate members appointed by the City Council. The board also hears appeals from decisions of the building official.
