What this body is
The Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) considers requests for variances from the city's zoning and fence ordinances — for example, a property owner asking for an exception to a setback rule. Unlike the Plan Commission, whose zoning recommendations go to Council for a vote, the ZBA's decisions on variances are its own — this is a quasi-judicial board, not an advisory one.

How to attend and speak
The official ZBA meeting-documents archive shows meetings on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. (several 2026 dates have shown as "Meeting Canceled" rather than held). Meeting agendas and packets are posted online by 5:30 p.m. three business days before the meeting, and the agenda is also posted on the City Hall bulletin board. The meeting room was not stated on the pages fetched. For the ZBA's purpose, structure and authority, the page points readers to the City Charter, Article IX, Section 9.10, and the Code of Ordinances, Appendix A, Article XXV, rather than restating the rules on the page itself. To ask about a meeting: (972) 744-4100 or AskRichardson@cor.gov.
