Title
Consideration of Appointments to the Board of Zoning Appeals
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
The Board of Zoning Appeals consists of five members. The last suggested appointee, Reginald Warren, is no longer a resident of Hampton and cannot serve which creates a vacancy. Members of the board shall hold no other public office in the City except that one may be a member of the Planning Commission.
Additionally, Hampton's Zoning Ordinance requires one alternate but allows for up to three alternates. At this time, there is only one alternate in place.
At times, it is a challenge to have a quorum present which could result in delays to consider variances which, in turn, delays permits and plans.
Recommendation:
Rec
Council is being asked to recommend to the Hampton Circuit Court the appointment of an individual to serve as a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals and also two additional alternates so that this board has sufficient appointees to ensure the necessary quorums for meetings are achieved.
