This course delves into the nuances of administrative decisions in zoning ordinance processes, specifically those made by local government staff and boards. The primary focus is on variance decisions, emphasizing the procedural requirements outlined in the Zoning Procedures Law. Participants will explore the distinction between administrative decisions, which involve the application of existing policies to specific properties, and legislative decisions, which establish policies that impact the broader community. By understanding the critical differences and the procedural framework, attendees will gain a deeper appreciation for the role of administrative decisions in the planning and zoning process.
