Overview

The Department of PZ&B has successfully implemented a new automated system. The new system known as ePZB, (electronic Planning, Zoning and Building) is currently being utilized in several Divisions in PZ&B. In the Zoning Division the Board of Adjustment, Public Hearing and DRO Sections are currently operating on the new system. The Arch Review/Permitting/Landscape Section will begin implementation once the Building Division modular is developed and released.

Online Submittal of Zoning Applicant

The Zoning Division has successfully completed our initial testing of accepting Administrative Variance and Time Extension applications online. The online submittal will reduced the typical paperwork associated with the hard copy application. The applicant will be able to submit the entire application and fee online from their office. Other Zoning applications will be available in the near future.

Benefits

What does the system mean to our users?

1. Information related to Zoning petitions readily on-line in electronic format.

2. Consistency in data/information related to approvals for GIS layers.

3. Property information (PCN), is available to staff and public for easy referencing on a property.

4. Creation of GIS layers related to approvals on PCN.

5. On-line submittals of applications can be done from the office. This is will save time and costs for staff and the public.

The ePZB system is integrated with the interactive Unified Land Development Code (ULDC), Zoning Technical Manual and Zoning Digitized Zoning Maps.
