The Board is responsible for the following activities:
• Hearing and deciding appeals where it is alleged that the Zoning Office has erred in applying or interpreting regulations;
• Hearing and making decisions on special exceptions; and
• Authorizing variances from the terms of the Zoning Ordinance, as permitted by the Municipalities Planning Code.
