Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-19-06-051 — Jon Thetard

Request: "Variances in the P-D zoning district as follows:

Decision: Approved

Hearing: "Staff noted the history of the project, including the fact that part of the subdivision was in the R-1AA zoning district, and the part in which the subject property was located was in the P-D zoning district. For that reason, when the Preliminary Subdivision Plan was approved, it had some less stringent setbacks like 25 ft. front setbacks rather than 30 ft., but had 10 ft. side setbacks instead of 7.5 ft. It also required a 1/4 acre lot in lieu of a 10,000 sq. ft. lot. It was also noted that screen porches with non permanent roofs could encroach up to 50% into the rear setback. Staff noted that six (6) variances very similar to the applicant's request had been granted in the overall Silver Woods subdivision. In concluding, staff noted that the two most impacted neighbors to the north and west had submitted letters of support, and that there is a six (6) ft. tall opaque fence surrounding the rear yard.
