The Board of Adjustment or "BOA," is established in the City Charter, Chapter XI, Board of Adjustment (see Ordinance #2006-01-08). Pursuant to the Charter, the BOA has the authority set forth in the Texas Local Government Code, as amended, and such other authority as provided by Ordinance.
The governing body of a municipality may provide for the appointment of a board of adjustment. The governing body may authorize the board of adjustment, in appropriate cases and subject to appropriate conditions and safeguards, to make special exceptions to the terms of the zoning ordinance that are consistent with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance and in accordance with any applicable rules contained in the ordinance.
