Summary of Proceedings

Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals Division III Meeting – April 21, 2020

The Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) Division III held a public hearing electronically on April 21, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. Due to COVID-19 executive orders and technical issues with the meeting platform, the board addressed procedural matters and continued nearly all petitions. The only expedited petition was transferred to another division, and temporary rule suspensions were adopted to ease filing requirements.

Discussion Items

  • Continuance of Non‑Expedited Petitions: The board heard that four non‑expedited petitions (2019‑DV3‑044, 2020‑DV3‑001, 2020‑DV3‑003, and 2020‑SE3‑001) could not be heard due to lack of quorum and platform limitations. A motion was made and seconded to continue them to the May 26, 2020 meeting without additional notice. The motion passed unanimously.
  • Transfer of Expedited Petition: The only expedited petition, 2020‑UV3‑001 (1651 Cornell Avenue), was identified by staff as having incorrect WebEx information published for the hearing. Staff requested its transfer to the BZA Division I hearing on May 12, 2020 without additional notice. The board approved the transfer unanimously.
  • Suspension of Notarization Requirement: The board approved a motion to temporarily suspend the rule requiring notarization of affidavits of notice for new petitions until June 16, 2020.
  • Suspension of Posting Requirement: A motion to temporarily suspend the rule requiring posting of notices on subject properties until June 16, 2020 was also approved.

Key Outcomes

  • All four non‑expedited petitions were continued to the May 26, 2020 BZA Division III meeting without further notice.
  • Petition 2020‑UV3‑001 was transferred to the BZA Division I meeting on May 12, 2020 without additional notice.
  • The board suspended the notarization rule for affidavits of notice and the rule for posting notices on properties until June 16, 2020.
  • No public testimony or substantive discussion of individual petitions occurred. The meeting was adjourned after the procedural votes.
