What must a developer do if they are denied a building permit due to zoning regulations?

  1. Appeal to the city council

  2. Apply for a variance from the local zoning board of adjustment

  3. Immediately revise the building plans

  4. Halt all construction indefinitely

The correct answer is: Apply for a variance from the local zoning board of adjustment

When a developer is denied a building permit due to zoning regulations, they must apply for a variance from the local zoning board of adjustment. This allows the developer to request an exception to the zoning regulations for their specific project. Appealing to the city council (option A) may not be effective as they are not the ones who handle zoning regulations. Immediately revising the building plans (option C) may not be necessary if a variance can be obtained. Halting all construction indefinitely (option D) is not a practical or effective solution as it could lead to delays and financial losses.
