Title

Zoning, boards of zoning adjustment, appeals of final decision, aggrieved party can file in circuit court, notice, board required to send transcript to court; Sec. 11-52-81 am'd.

Description

Existing law provides for a board of zoning adjustment to hear applications or appeals for variances from the requirements of a zoning ordinance or regulation put in place by a municipal planning or zoning commission or a municipal body.

Any party aggrieved by the final decision of the board can appeal to circuit court by filing with the board of zoning adjustment a written notice of appeal and then the board must send a transcript of the proceedings to the circuit court for a de novo trial.

This bill would provide that an aggrieved party seeking an appeal from a decision of the board of zoning adjustment can file the appeal with the circuit court in the county where the board convenes, would require the court to send notice of the filing of an appeal to the board, and would require the board to send a transcript of the proceeding to the circuit court within 30 days of the filing of the appeal.
