The first step in the variance process is to schedule a meeting with the Zoning Committee. Every case that appears before the Zoning Committee is also presented before the full body of the University Area Commission (UAC), which is a recommending body to the City of Columbus. The UAC meets the third Wednesday of each month. The UAC votes on the requested variances, and this vote is communicated to the City (Board of Zoning Adjustment, City Council, and Graphics Commission) which has the final determination on all requests for variance. At least seven (7) days prior to the zoning meeting submit application & materials, either electronically or as hard copies, to Susan Keeny, Zoning Chair. Applicant is responsible for providing hard copies of presentation materials at all meetings. Contact zoning chair with further questions.
