The Board of Adjustment: The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial body charged with the responsibility to provide for just and fair treatment in the administration of the Mapleton City zoning ordinances, and to ensure that substantial justice is done. This is accomplished by the granting of "variances", and hearing Staff appeals to zoning codes and requirements, as well as ruling on alleged errors. The Board of Adjustment consists of five regular and two alternate members who are residents of the City. One member is also a member of the Planning Commission. The Board is appointed Mayor and City Council. The members of the Board of Adjustment are ordinary citizens of Mapleton. They are not City employees, but citizens with their own vocations who desire to serve the City. The Board members do not answer to the Mayor, City Council or Planning Commission or Staff, and can, act as an independent, quasi-judicial body.
Applications: The Board of Adjustment hears applications for variances to the zoning code exclusively. They also hear appeals to Staff decisions and alleged errors.
Meetings: The Board of Adjustment meets as needed. Because there are so few request for variance and appeals, the Board will only meet when an application is made. Variances require a 14 day public notice, so meetings could be held within three weeks after an application is received and processed.
