Board of Zoning Appeals Members
The James City County’s Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) is a five-member, quasi-judicial body appointed by the local circuit court to serve five-year terms. The Board conducts public hearings to consider requests for variances to the County’s Zoning Ordinance, as well as appeals of decisions made by the Zoning Administrator.
The Board must find that the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would produce undue hardship to grant a variance, and may impose conditions regarding issues such as the location, character and other features of a proposed structure when granting a variance. Any decision made by the Board may be appealed to the James City County Circuit Court within thirty days.
