Land Use Board Information
There are two boards that manage land use decisions in the City of Roxboro. Each board is made up of residents of Roxboro.
The Planning and Zoning Review Board- serves as both an advisory board and a decision-making board, When reviewing legislative matters such as Zoning Ordinance revisions, Zoning Map amendments, or comprehensive plan reviews, such as the City's Future Land Use Plan, the board advises the City Council by making recommendations only. When handling quasi-judicial matters such as variances from the City's land use ordinances or appeals to administrative decisions, this board serves as the final, decision-making board. Appeals of decisions made by this board in quasi-judicial matters must be made to the Person County Superior Court.
The City Council- serves in a capacity of approving permits for any quasi-judicial Special Use, as noted in the Unified Development Ordinance, and as the ultimate decision-making body for any amendment to that Ordinance document or the official Zoning Map.
The Planning and Zoning Review Board meets only when an item is placed on the agenda for consideration. The City Council meets on the second Tuesday of each month, unless otherwise advertised.
