- Variance– the individual who has been denied a permit or one who has been served with some sort of enforcement action by the Code Enforcement Officer can only make this appeal. There are two types of these variances.
- Area Variance – this variance is concerned with dimensional, bulk and or density restrictions.
- Use Variance – an authorization by the ZBA for the owner to use their property in a manner not allowed by the use regulations in the Alden Zoning Code applicable to the property in question.
- Area Variance – this variance is concerned with dimensional, bulk and or density restrictions.
