Land Use & Zoning
A Florida property owner who wishes to build a fence that exceeds the permitted height by 1 foot due to unique slope conditions on their property should apply for:

BA variance from the zoning board✓ Correct
CA special exception
DA rezoning
Explanation
A variance is the appropriate relief for a dimensional zoning requirement (height, setback, lot coverage) when strict application would cause undue hardship due to unique physical characteristics of the property not shared by other properties in the zone.
