Land Use & Zoning
A property owner in Arizona wants to use their residentially-zoned land for a small commercial business. To do so legally, they would MOST likely need to obtain:
AA variance
BA special use permit (conditional use permit)✓ Correct
CA nonconforming use certificate
DA zoning estoppel
Explanation
A special use (conditional use) permit allows a land use that is not normally permitted in a zone but is recognized as potentially appropriate under certain conditions. A variance adjusts a dimensional standard, not a use.
