Livingston appoints David Parsons to Board of Zoning Appeals; council adopts 14‑day application deadline
Summary
Council accepted a resignation from the Board of Zoning Appeals, appointed David Parsons to fill the vacancy, and approved ordinance 2026-8-2 requiring applicants to submit BZA/planning paperwork at least 14 days before meetings to allow notice and review.
The council accepted the resignation of Nathan Dale from the Board of Zoning Appeals and appointed David Parsons to fill the vacancy; the motion to appoint was made by Alderman Langford and seconded by Alderman Elder and passed without objection.
The council then considered ordinance 2026-8-2, described as an amendment to require applicants to file appeals and planning applications in writing to the building inspector not less than 14 days prior to the fourth Monday of the month and in no event later than 14 days before the meeting of the board. The mayor read the ordinance language into the record, citing the need for adequate time to publish notice and contact affected property owners. A motion to approve the ordinance was made and seconded; the measure passed.
Councilmembers said the deadline gives staff and the public time to review materials and that the rule will be applied going forward to streamline planning and BZA processes.
