The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is authorized to hear and
decide appeals where it is alleged there has been an error in interpretation
of any zoning code provisions or in any order, requirement, decision,
or determination made by the CEO, their designee, or other such administrative
official.
Appeals may be filed by any person aggrieved by a decision of
the CEO, their designee, or other such administrative official. The
ZBA is authorized to make determinations about whether individuals
filing appeals are "aggrieved by the decision or action."
An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the appealed
action, unless the CEO certifies to the ZBA a stay would, in his or
her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. Then the proceedings
shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order granted
by the ZBA or by a court of record on application, to the CEO.
Upon receipt of a complete appeal application, the CEO must
transmit to the ZBA all papers constituting the record upon which
the action appealed is taken.
All appeals shall complete the municipal referral procedure and SEQR documentation where required by New York State General Municipal Law. Additional information may be found in Article
50 of this chapter.
