Dates and wording are the source's own. Sources publish late and amend; the official record is the authority.

What this case is

Variance or deviation. A variance grants relief from one specific rule for one site, such as a setback, a height limit or a parking count, without changing the zoning. It is decided by a zoning board after a hearing, on a showing that the site has a hardship the rule did not anticipate. A variance by itself does not approve a project. It removes one obstacle for the site plan or permit that follows.

Who decides what on this record:

• Planning Board. An appointed board that holds the public hearing and votes on a recommendation. The elected board casts the deciding vote later. The elected board, meaning the county commission or the city council, casts the deciding vote at a later meeting.
• Introduced. The item was formally placed before this body for the first time. It marks the start of that body's review, not a decision. A public hearing and a vote follow at a later meeting.
