2. Submit the application to Ken Morris to trigger a zoning review. 

Items Needed for an Application

Submit a check in the amount of $100.00 payable to the City of Avondale Estates to City Hall within in 48 hours of submitting an application. An application is not considered complete until after receiving the check.

The following attachments are also required:

• Legal description and plat of property
• Scale drawing(s) of existing condition

There are a few minor variances and Tier 1 waivers that can be granted administratively. The majority of variances and waivers must be reviewed by the Planning, Zoning and Architectural Review Board (PZAB). The PZAB makes recommendations to the Board of Mayor and Commissioners who make final decisions. More details about the review and approval process can be found on Municode. 

Applications must be submitted by the dates listed below to be reviewed by the PZAB.
