My permit/business application was denied. Who can I speak to for help?
If you would like an advocate, contact the Economic Development Division. They can seek further clarification of why the decision was made and advise you as to what you can do. You can also appeal the decision or ask for a variance. The Planning Commission meets once a month on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the City Hall Council Chamber.

A variance is an exception to a zoning restriction which allows use of the land outside the requirements of the zoning for that area. Variances can be given by a locality for businesses that present valid reasons for the variance and who can show that the variance will not lessen property values or interfere with use of the property by current residents.
