Board of Building Code and Zoning Appeals

The Board of Building Code and Zoning Appeals (BZA) is comprised of five members appointed by the Mayor with the approval of a majority of members elected to Council. Members of the Board serve for a term of four years. The BZA assists in the administration of the Building Code and Zoning Code, particularly to decide and interpret provisions which require impartial adjustments of conflicting interests and to grant variances from the strict letter of the Code in instances of unnecessary hardship. If your project requires a variance, you must submit an application (below) and a right-of-entry form (below) at least one (1) week prior to the scheduled meeting with a fee of $50.00 and nine (9) sets of your plans to Kathy Zamrzla in the Building Department. The BZA also hears objections to building permits for a $50.00 fee. Please refer to the City Codified Ordinances Chapter 1248 and Chapter 1414 in this website for variance criteria. The Board regularly meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 8:00 p.m. in the City of Strongsville Communication Center (the former County Library) 13213 Pearl Road. Notice of all meetings scheduled will be given in accordance with Chapter 208 of the Codified Ordinances of the City. Caucus meetings are held on the date of the scheduled Board meeting at 7:30 p.m. All are encouraged to listen in on Caucus meetings while the Board reviews the evenings agenda. Minutes of meetings will be posted to this site after they are approved by the Board. Call to Order is at 8:00 p.m. Following are the agendas and minutes from 2006, 2007 and 2008, and the schedule of meetings for the year 2008:
