I would argue that a ZBA's obligation is not neutrality, but to define and protect the interests of the citizens and to prevent incompatable or overly aggressive uses. At the social extreme this might mean keeping bars and strip clubs away from school and churches, and at the health extremes limiting industrial plants downstream and down wind of most of the city. For practical reasons and to reduce boundary disputes, it also requires setbacks so that solving problems or doing maintainance at one property do not require trespass upon neighboring properties. Anthony West writes: ZBA has a statutory obligation to be neutral.
