The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is authorized by Michigan statute and helps ensure that the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance are met, public safety secured, and substantial justice is done. There are seven members and two alternate members on the ZBA.  All meetings are open to the public and public notices are completed prior to a public hearing.  The powers and jurisdiction of the ZBA are specified in the City of Portage Zoning Ordinance (Section 42-620-42-623) and include the granting of variances, interpretations, temporary uses and other appeals as authorized in the ordinance.

Zoning Board of Appeals agendas will be posted the Monday before each Monday meeting. Minutes will be posted once approved by the board.
