ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS OVERVIEW
Welcome to the New York State Department of State’s self-study course “Planning Board
Overview.”
The objective of this course is to increase your understanding of the powers and duties of the
zoning board of appeals, and of basic zoning concepts and functions. The program highlights
the statutory requirements that zoning boards of appeals must consider before granting use and
area variances, and hearing interpretations of the zoning laws.
Not everything you need to know fits in this presentation, so additional information has been
included on the course webpage, such as a glossary, contact information for the Department of
State, and links to other online resources.”
