BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT

MISSION STATEMENT:

The mission of the Zoning Board of Adjustment is to hear appeals and requests for special exceptions or
variances related to the implementation of the Mansfield Zoning Ordinance.

Department at a Glance

The Board of Adjustment budget did not change from FY 2019-2020 to FY 2020-2021.

Key Goals and Objectives

Goal 1
To hear appeals of decisions rendered by the zoning administrative official; to interpret unclear provisions
in the Zoning Ordinance; and to decide on individual site requests for relief from the literal interpretation
and enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance.

Objectives:
• Hear and decide appeals when it is alleged that there is an error in any order, requirement,
decision or determination made by the zoning administrative official in enforcement of the
Zoning Ordinance.
• Authorize variances from the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance that will not be contrary to the
public interest, where owing special conditions of a literal enforcement of the provisions will
result in unnecessary hardships.
• Authorize special exceptions as specified in Zoning Ordinance.
• Rule on the status of questionable non-conforming uses.
