Page Updated: Feb 3, 2010 A variance is a request to deviate from current zoning requirements. If granted, a variance permits the owner to use his land in a way that is ordinarily not permitted by the zoning ordinance. A variance is not a change in the zoning law but a waiver of a certain requirement of the zoning ordinance. A change in setback requirements, maximum building height or lot coverage waivers are common variance requests. Download an application for a variance here. For more information on variations from the zoning ordinance, contact the City of Monticello Zoning Administrator at 217.762.2583. Copyright © City of Monticello |
