  • Applications requesting a variance of zoning regulations due to "exceptional difficulty or unusual hardship"
  • Appeals claiming that an error occurred in any order, requirement, or decision of a Zoning Enforcement Officer (ZEO)
  • All other matters that the zoning regulations specifically require it to consider, such as special permits, exceptions, and exemptions.
