Delaware County Board of Zoning Appeals June 25th, 2026

The Delaware County Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on June 25, 2026, addressing multiple zoning variance requests and land use issues. Key procurement-related discussions included approvals of variances for property uses such as ornamental tree plantings, RV placements, kennel operations, detached garage height increases, and wireless communication facilities. Notably, the board approved a variance for a new 125-foot telecommunications tower proposed by Atlas Tower and the Muny Redevelopment Commission, which included reduced setbacks and landscaping waivers due to floodplain considerations. The project is expected to generate approximately $280,000 in lease revenue for the city over time. Other approvals involved variances for signage, driveway widths, and use of property for business operations like tree services and convenience stores. Several motions included conditions related to compliance with local ordinances, environmental regulations, and time-limited variances. The board also discussed upcoming ordinance revisions and plans to modernize zoning and subdivision codes over the next 14 months. Overall, the meeting focused on land use approvals with implications for future development and infrastructure projects in Delaware County.
