Zoning Application Withdrawal Notice

A Zoning Application Withdrawal Notice is a formal communication from a property owner, developer, or applicant to a local government’s zoning department or review board, indicating their intent to withdraw a previously submitted application for a zoning permit, variance, or other zoning action. This notice typically includes the reason for the withdrawal, such as a change in the project scope, financing, or ownership, or a desire to avoid a potential denial or delay in the review process. The purpose of a Zoning Application Withdrawal Notice is to provide a clear and official record of the applicant’s decision to terminate the zoning review process, and to allow the local government to close the case and release any reserved staff time, public hearing dates, or other resources. Zoning Application Withdrawal Notices are often submitted in writing, signed by the applicant or their authorized representative, and may be subject to certain deadlines or fees depending on the stage of the review process. In some cases, a withdrawn application may be resubmitted at a later date, subject to any applicable changes in the zoning code, policies, or procedures.
