Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-24-09-081 — Christopher Kenney, Kimberley Kenney

Request: Variance in the R-1A zoning district to allow an addition (covered patio) to a residence with an east rear setback of 5.3 ft. in lieu of 25 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: SYNOPSIS: Staff described the proposal, including the location of the property, the site plan, and photos of the site. Staff provided an analysis of the six (6) criteria and the reasons for a recommendation for denial. Staff noted that six (6) comments were received in favor of the request, and no comments were received in opposition to the request. The applicant discussed the staff recommendation of denial, noting the reason for the design and configuration of the covered porch. There was no one in attendance to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. The BZA discussed the Variance, determining the covered patio will not be significantly visible to the surrounding properties due to the block wall and vinyl fence and unanimously recommended approval of the Variance by a 4-0 vote, with two absent and one seat vacant, subject to the three (3) conditions found in the staff report
