Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

SE-20-04-015 — Garrett Myers

Request: Special Exception in the A-2 zoning district to allow a cumulative total of 3,629 sq. ft. of accessory structures in lieu of 3,000 sq. ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: SYNOPSIS: Staff explained that the subject property was located in a very rural area where larger structures are not uncommon. Staff noted that over 1,100 sq. ft. of existing accessory floor area would be demolished and replaced with the new 2,400 sq. ft. structure. All required setbacks are being exceeded, and that the site, which is used for residential purposes will not generate any more noise, odor, glare or heat than it currently is. The applicant indicated their agreement with the staff recommendation and conditions. There being no one to speak in favor or opposition to this request, the public hearing was closed. The BZA concluded that the proposed structure would be compatible with the rural nature of the area, and would be an asset to the area. The BZA unanimously recommended approval of the special exception subject to the four (4) conditions in the staff report.
