Review the question and all answer choices

A is incorrect because the state does not handle individual zoning matters. While state law establishes the framework for zoning, actual zoning administration and variance decisions are delegated to local governments.
Local board of adjustment
ADRE
C is incorrect because the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) regulates real estate licensing, education, and enforcement, not zoning decisions. Their focus is on licensees' compliance with real estate laws.
The governor
D is incorrect because the governor has no direct role in local zoning matters. The executive branch at the state level doesn't involve itself in individual zoning variance decisions.
