APPLICATION INFORMATION
Pre-application Conference
Pre-application conferences are recommended prior to submittal of variance applications. The
purpose of these meetings is to discuss the requested variance, and to become familiar with city
code requirements and procedures. Applicants are strongly encouraged to avail themselves of
the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC), which allows the applicant to speak with all
City divisions that may review the variance application. Pre-application and DRC appointments
can be scheduled by contacting Sue Goodman, Planning Technician, at (307) 675-4226 or by e-
mail at sgoodman@sheridanwy.net.
Submission review
All applications are subject to completeness review prior to acceptance by the Planning Office
for routing and review. The variance application checklist details the required number of copies
and documents needed to complete the application submittal. In order to ensure clarity and
efficiency in the review process, application submissions will be received by appointment only.
The applicable checklist must be submitted with this application. Incomplete application
submissions will not be accepted, and will be returned to the applicant.
Contested Case Hearings
Since Board of Adjustment meetings may involve appeals of City staff interpretations or
enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance, a meeting may be conducted as a contested case
hearing governed by the Board of Adjustment bylaws and state law. Contested cases require
additional time and preparation on the part of City staff, as well as securing the services of a
court reporter.
Public Hearings and Notice
Variance requests require a single hearing before the Board of Adjustment. Public hearings
require notice through newspaper legal ads, nearby property mailings, and signs posted on the
property. The City Planning Division will submit the ad for the paper and notify nearby property
owners. Due to press and Board of Adjustment requirements, legal notification must be placed
approximately three weeks prior to the public hearing. No public hearing will be scheduled until
the application has been deemed complete, and staff review comments have been addressed.
