The agenda for the meeting will close two weeks before the meeting at 12 Noon.
Zoning Board of Appeals Members:
- Jane Smith (Chair) (12/2024)
- Dennis Dunning (12/2023)

Click on the links below for Zoning-Related Forms. The link for “ZBA General Information and Guidelines” will provide you with an explanation of the kinds of the relief that may be requested, the powers and duties of the ZBA and its procedures, and the criteria for granting a variance. Special attention should be paid to the “Requirements for ZBA Applications;” it provides a list of documents that must be submitted with every application for relief to the ZBA.
An applicant may seek an interpretation or a variance from the ZBA only after the applicant has received either notice of a formal decision or action by the Code Enforcement Officer, or a referral from the Planning Board of the Town of Union Vale. Before preparing any application, the applicant should contact the Code Enforcement Officer at 724-5953 to determine the correct classification and forms needed to appear before the Zoning Board of Appeals. General information can be found in the Town Code.
Effective March 5, 2012, no application will be accepted by the Zoning Office unless all of the materials set forth in the Requirements For ZBA Applications form are included with the application. Application fees are due at the time the application is submitted.
