- Hear and decide appeals if it is alleged there is error in any order, requirement, decision, or determination made by an administrative official in the enforcement of the zoning ordinance;
- Hear and decide requests for variance from the terms of the zoning ordinance;
- Hear and decide requests for special exception as provided for in the zoning ordinance.
