Commission recommends variance-definition change to align with state code

Zoning Administrator Kelly Getz presented OA26-0885, an amendment to the Definitions section and section 17-1006 (Variances) to align Rockingham County’s code with recent state-code changes. Mr. Getz clarified that variance determinations are made by the Board of Zoning Appeals rather than by staff. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. The Commission recommended approval by roll call vote 4–0 (Curfman AYE; Flint AYE; Rohrer AYE; Sheets AYE).
