Applications for additional design standards, wet-zones, and waivers for administrative variances

Alcoholic Beverage Permit Application (No Waivers Required)

Use this application for a proposed Alcoholic Beverage permit, commonly known as “wet zonings.” You will need a Special Use Alcoholic Beverage Permit to sell alcoholic beverages at restaurants, bars, or other businesses. If your location meets all distance requirements of the Land Development Code Section 6.11.11, you will need to complete this application and pay the fee.


Conditional Use Application

Use this application for Conditional Use permits that require additional design standards to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses and the surrounding neighborhood. If a use has been identified as a Conditional Use, then review for compliance with these additional standards is required.

Not all Conditional Uses from the Land Development Code require an application for a Conditional Use permit. If a Conditional Use permit is not required, review for compliance with the standards will be done during site development review. To determine if a proposed use requires a Conditional Use permit, view the Zoning Information & Counseling page.


Administrative Waiver Application

The Administrator has the ability to review and approve adjustments to development standards (setback, yard or building orientation, parking, etc.) if determined appropriate administratively and if they meet certain criteria set forth by the Land Development Code.


Fee Waiver Application

Use this application to request a fee waiver or refund on certain types of land use or development review application fees. (This process does not include impact, mobility, or utility impact and connection fees.) Requests for fee waivers may be considered when necessary due to financial hardship, staff error, in cases of emergency or catastrophe, or for nonprofit organizations with an existing contract to provide social services on behalf of the BOCC.
