ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

Purpose

To hear appeals and make decisions necessary for the enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance.

 

Established

MCL Section 125.585 provides the statutory basis for this important five-member board to consider appeals from administrative decisions usually in the zoning area.  It does not mention residency as a prerequisite to appointment.  The old zoning ordinance, Section 30-76, still provides authority for the Albion Zoning Board of Appeals which should consist of seven regular members and two alternates.  This number is more than allowed by statute and the statute should be followed.

 

Membership Residency

Seven voting members at large and two alternates (no City officials may serve on this board).  Appointed by Mayor with confirmation by City Council.

At discretion of appointing authority.  Goal is to have all members be residents of the City.
