City of Waterloo Board of Adjustment Meeting - Thursday, July 28, 2026

The City of Waterloo Board of Adjustment convened on July 28, 2026, to address several zoning and variance requests. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a variance for Aine ATS to construct a 14-foot tall solid metal fence with a retaining wall at 808 Dearborn Avenue, citing practical difficulties due to site topography. Another significant item was the approval of a special permit and variance for Senior Tequila LLC to operate a non-limited alcohol sales use within 250 feet of protected residential uses at 118 East 11th Street, with conditions to meet city codes. Additionally, the board reconsidered and approved a six-month temporary variance for Robert Frank at 1107 Sheffield Avenue to allow more than four vehicles on the property, contingent on compliance with city ordinances by January 29, 2027. The meeting also noted staff changes and ongoing recruitment efforts. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed.
