The Board of Zoning Appeals is a 5-member body responsible for hearing appeals from individuals who are requesting exceptions or variations from city ordinances in regard to land use and building requirements or from individuals who are questioning the appropriateness of orders made by city officials.

Board members

• Alanna Faith, chair
• Nina Holzer
• Priscila Rocha
• Arleesha Wilson

Liz Kukla, board secretary, and Maurice Ruelens, city planner, often attend these meetings.

NOTE: Because the board has been holding hybrid meetings – with some people at City Hall and others joining via WebEx – you may have a better view of all commission members in person. Whether you watch remotely or attend in person, feel free to note if you can’t identify a speaker.
