Board of Zoning Appeals
The Wamego Board of Zoning Appeals makes decisions in cases where applicants seek a variance from the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance to accommodate a building or structure. It also reviews applications for special use permits and home occupations, where proposed activities are not ordinarily permissible on the subject property. When cases are presented, the Board meets at 7:00 PM the fourth Tuesday of the month, in the City Commission room, on the second floor of the Wamego City Office, at 430 Lincoln Avenue.
The City of Wamego is authorized to apply its Zoning Ordinance outside the City limits, within the "extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction." Thus, by State law, one member of the Board of Zoning Appeals must reside within this jurisdiction. The State also provides that one member of the Board be a member of the Planning Commission. This person is appointed annually by the Planning Commission. The remaining four members of the Board of Zoning Appeals serve three year terms.
