Can I get a variance to change the zoning or use of my property?

No. The Board of Zoning Appeals cannot change the zoning or allowed use of a property. Only the Town Council has the authority to rezone a property. Zoning changes are regulated by M.G.L. Chapter 40A, Section 5. Please see the description process and flow chart on Weymouth Zoning webpage here http://www.weymouth.ma.us/planning-community-development/pages/zoning for more information.
