MEETING INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE Meetings of the City of Aberdeen Board of Zoning Adjustment are when the Board conducts public hearings and issues its decisions on applications for special exceptions or variances and for appeals of decisions or actions of a zoning or code enforcement official. The Board conducts the hearings informally and as necessary to secure the information required for it to make a decision but the formal rules of procedure and evidence do not apply to these hearings. All meeting agendas are published and posted as required by law. Each member of the Board is provided an agenda packet before the meeting. The agenda packet includes the meeting agenda, copies of all applications along with the supporting documentation, and the written recommendations of City Staff regarding each application. If not already provided, a copy of the Staff recommendations will be provided to each Applicant upon request. All information provided to the Board in the agenda packet for each application is considered part of the record for that application. Any member of the public wishing to speak must first be recognized by the Chair, must speak into one of the microphones in the room, and must state their name. The purpose for this rule is to ensure a clear record of anyone speaking in support of, or in opposition to, an item on today’s agenda. Staff have been instructed to assist the Board in making sure there is a clear record. The Chair may rule out of order any speaker who is not recognized by the Chair, who fails to identify themself, or who does not speak into a microphone. Depending on the relief sought in an application, the Board may deny all or part of the application, it may modify the requirements of any order of the city official, or it may approve the application without conditions or it may impose conditions, also known as stipulations. If the Board’s approval of an application is contingent upon certain conditions being met, the Applicant may agree to the conditions or refuse the conditions. If the Applicant does not agree to the conditions in writing, the application will be deemed denied. Staff will be available after the meeting to assist the Applicant with understanding the conditions and obtaining the Applicant’s agreement to them.
