The Petitioning Process
Process for Petition
1. Determine the current zoning classification on the property, see the Official Zoning Map.
2. Determine the uses allowed and standards required for the current zone, see the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Fuquay-Varina.
3. Decide if you believe a hardship is being placed on your property by or because of the zoning ordinance.
4. The next recommended step is to schedule a meeting with the Planning Department. This optional meeting with the Planning Staff will outline the aspects of your petition, discuss the hardships, and give you a better idea of how to proceed.
5. Request a Board of Adjustments Petition from the Planning Department and attachments if applicable.
6. Return the completed application, make sure that all requested information is provided. When the petition is filed a $350.00 fee is charged to cover the costs of advertisement and administration.
7. After the petition is checked for completeness a public hearing with the Board of Adjustments is scheduled based upon a pre-arranged schedule. Board of Adjustments Schedules are available from the Planning Department and online. The Board of Adjustments usually meets on the second Monday of each month.
