Board of Zoning Adjustment

The Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) is responsible for hearing and deciding appeals regarding county zoning regulation, as well as other matters referred to the Board.  Pursuant to 64.120 RSMo., the Board of Zoning Adjustment generally hears the following requests:

•Variance - a request to vary from the standard requirements within the Clay County Land Development Code (LDC) [Section 151-3.11]
•Written Interpretations - appeals of staff's written interpretation of the LDC [Section 151-3.13]
•Administrative Appeals - appeals from administrative staff's determinations of the LDC [Section 151-3.14]

The Board is comprised of three Clay County Commissioners.  The BZA typically meets the fourth Tuesday of every month at 5:30 pm Central Standard Time, Commission Hearing Room, 3rd Floor, Administration Building (Old Courhouse Building).  This schedule may vary on occasion, so the public is encouraged to verify the date and time of upcoming BZA meetings by contacting the Clay County Planning & Zoning Department at (816) 407-3380 or Email (pandz@claycountymo.gov)
