Board of Adjustments

In order to carry out the provisions of Utah law relating to planning and zoning, Alta has created a Board of Adjustment, which consists of five members, one member of which is a member of the Planning Commission.  The Mayor appoints members of the Board of Adjustment upon the advice and consent of the Town Council.  Vacancies are filled in the same manner as the original appointment for the unexpired term.

The Board of Adjustment has the power to hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of the Uniform Zoning Ordinance, to hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there have been errors made by administrative decisions, and to authorize in specific cases a variance from the terms of the Uniform Zoning Ordinance consistent with the public interest so that the spirit of the Uniform Zoning Ordinance shall be observed.

In addition to any other powers given by Utah law or Town Ordinance, the Board shall have the power to interpret the Zoning Map and hear and decide appeals to zoning enforcement issues.

The current board is:

   .   Marcus Dippo
   .   Paul Huber
   .   
   .   Lee Kapalowski
   .   Diane Stahly
