Variances and Use Permits
A use permit is a request to allow a use which is permitted by the
Zoning Ordinance provided that the use will not cause an adverse impact on adjacent
property or properties in the area. The Zoning Administrator must find two (2)
conditions exist in order to rule favorably on a use permit request. The burden
of proof is with the applicant and the granting of a use permit is at the Zoning
Administrator's discretion. The two (2) conditions are as follows:
- The use will not cause an adverse impact on adjacent property or properties
in the area. Adverse impacts would include, for example: a significant increase
in vehicular or pedestrian traffic in adjacent residential areas; emission of
odor, dust, gas, noise, vibration, smoke, heat, or glare at a level exceeding
ambient conditions; contribution in a measurable way to the deterioration of
the area or contribution to the lowering of property values.
- The use will be in compliance with all provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
and the laws of the City of Phoenix, Maricopa County (if applicable), the State
of Arizona, and the United States of America.
A USE PERMIT IS SUBJECT TO REVOCATION IF AT ANY TIME DURING THE
LIFE OF THE USE PERMIT THERE IS A VIOLATION OF THE STIPULATIONS OF APPROVAL, THE
ZONING ORDINANCE, OR ANY OTHER STATUTES.
