Dimensional Variances - What Are They and When Are They Permitted? - Virtual Class - 10/31/23

Includes a Live Web Event on 10/31/2023 at 9:00 AM (EDT)

Dimensional variances are required when a proposed structure or lot does not satisfy the municipality’s requirements for area and dimensions (such as height, density, and setbacks). Zoning hearing boards sometimes grant such variances even where they do not satisfy the specific requirements in the Municipalities Planning Code. This presents the potential for future challenges for the municipality, including “he got a variance for the same thing you just denied for me.” In this virtual class, you will learn about dimensional variances, when they are permitted, and how to avoid problems associated with granting or denying requests.

This class is eligible for 1.5 PMGA Planning/Zoning points

This class is eligible for 1.5 CZO credits.
