Land Use & Zoning
In Colorado, a property owner who wants to deviate from a setback requirement may apply for a:
AA. Special use permit
BB. Variance✓ Correct
CC. Rezoning
DD. Annexation
Explanation
A variance is the appropriate remedy for relief from a specific dimensional requirement (like a setback, height limit, or lot coverage). To obtain a variance in Colorado, the applicant must typically show a unique hardship related to the property itself — not just a general desire for the deviation.
