The Dandridge Regional Planning Commission Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) provides a fair and impartial forum for reviewing requests related to the Town’s zoning regulations. The Board considers appeals of administrative decisions, requests for variances, and special exceptions when strict application of the zoning ordinance may create unnecessary hardship. By carefully evaluating each case on its individual merits, the BZA ensures that property rights are balanced with the community’s standards for safety, character, and orderly development, helping maintain the integrity of Dandridge’s planning framework while allowing reasonable flexibility when appropriate.
