Petition to Board of Zoning Appeals in Support of Application for a Variance To: The Board of Zoning Appeals for the Municipality of ________________________________ (Name of Municipality) Re: Application No. ___________________ COMES NOW _______________________________________________ (Name of Applicant), Applicant in Application No. _____________, pursuant to (cite applicable ordinance, code, or statute allowing Appeal from Zoning Board Decision) __________ ______________________________ and files this his Petition in support of a variation from the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of ______________________ (Name of Municipality), insofar as such ordinance applies to the premises owned by the Petitioner in _____________________________ (Name of Municipality) at __________ ________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________ (street address, city, county, state, zip code), which are described more fully below, and in support thereof would show the following matters and facts: 1. This Petition is made to accompany Application No._______________ filed with the Board of Zoning Appeals for the Municipality of _____________________________ (Name of Municipality). 2. Petitioner is the owner in fee of certain real property, with improvements erected on such property (hereinafter called Premises), and described as follows: (Set forth legal description of Premises) ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ The Premises has been use by Petitioner (or previous owners) as (describe how property has been used, duration of said use, character of immediate neighborhood and prospective use) _________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ . 3. Petitioner therefore asks that the Board of Zoning Appeals permit a variation so that the Premises may be operated or used as (describe how property will be used if variance granted) ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________. 4. The variance sought by Petitioner would not in any way be detrimental to the neighborhood or the neighbors. Refusal to permit such a variance would cause the Petitioner an unnecessary hardship, in that the Premises as constructed are not now fit or usable for dwelling purposes and cannot be used for dwelling purposes. Requiring the Premises to remain idle and unused would be an undue hardship tantamount to confiscation; and the use of the Premises for the purposes requested in the Petitioner's application would do substantial justice, would be in keeping with the spirit of the Zoning Ordinance, and would promote public safety and the general welfare of the people of ____________________________________ (Name of Municipality) and the immediate neighborhood. WHEREFORE, the Petitioner requests that the Application No._______________ submitted by the Petitioner be granted. ____________________________________ ____________________________________ Printed Name & Signature of Petitioner) Date: _______________________________
