Purpose
The purpose of a formal interpretation is to provide a written answer to a specific question on the application of a provision of these land development regulations (LDRs) or the boundaries or classifications of the official zoning map independent from any other review procedure. A formal interpretation provides consistency in the implementation of these LDRs.
When Is This Required?
A formal interpretation may be requested to interpret any provision of these LDRs or boundary or classification of the official zoning map. The Planning Director may require a different application to be filed if an interpretation should be evaluated in the context of a full application rather than as a separate question.
