Committee moves to align Orange Beach appeals process with state law
Summary
Council discussed and approved an ordinance revising the board of zoning adjustment appeals process to mirror a recent state legislative change that requires appellants to notify the board within 15 days and then file in circuit court within 45 days.
The Committee of the Whole discussed an ordinance to amend Orange Beach’s municipal code for board of zoning adjustment appeals to conform to a state legislative clarification.
A staff member summarized the state changes: an appellant must give notice to the board of adjustments within 15 days and thereafter has 45 days to file with the circuit court. The proposed municipal amendment follows that language to avoid conflict with the new state statute.
Committee members discussed the change and offered no substantive revisions. A motion to adopt the ordinance was entertained and the committee voted in favor by voice vote.
The ordinance amends Chapter 2, Article 5, Division 4, Section 2‑250 of the city code to update the board of zoning adjustment appeals process as described in the meeting. The committee’s action aligns the city code with the state timeframe described in the discussion.
