The Board of Zoning Appeals meets when appeals need to be heard.
Zoning Appeals
The Town of Danby has implemented a Zoning Ordinance that
includes:
- Land Use Regulation
- Dimensional Requirements
When a proposed project does not comply with the Zoning
Ordinance, an appeal may be filed with Danby's Board of Zoning
Appeals (the BZA, a.k.a. Zoning Board of Appeals, ZBA). Appeals
may request:
- a Use Variance—when the intended use of a
property does not conform to the uses permitted in a particular zone
- an Area Variance—when the size or location of
a project does not conform to the dimensional requirements specified
for the zone
The BZA Appeal form, including instructions and guidance,
may also be downloaded
-

format.
Paper copies of these forms, and others, are also available
in the Code Enforcement Office.
