ZONING
The POA has its own set of zoning ordinances (which can be downloaded HERE), that regulate land use and building within Pine Orchard. These ordinances are authored and maintained by the POA Zoning Authority which is the Executive Board of the Pine Orchard Association. Seated at the board is the Zoning Commissioner who, with the Zoning Enforcement Officer (ZEO), reviews all Zoning Ordinance Conformity applications (Building permit).
In the event a zoning application is denied, the applicant may appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). There function is to hear disputes and render judgment on all requested-variances to the published zoning ordinances. The ZBA is a seven (7) member board, separate from the POA Executive Board.
Should you have any questions or concerns about a project or permit please contact the Planning and Zoning Commissioner or Zoning Enforcement Officer.
