Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-24-03-150 — Clifford R Risley for Mr Car Wash

Request: Variance in the PD zoning district to allow a ground sign with a 6.4 ft. north setback in lieu of 10 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 no comments were received in support, and no comments were received in opposition. The applicant described the proposed sign modification, assumed that the sign had been installed per code and noted that it would expensive and difficult to relocate the sign. There was no one in attendance to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. The BZA discussed the Variance, noted that a building permit was issued for the original sign and that permit passed the final inspection. The BZA also noted that the recent new buyer of the property would not have known about the non conformity and that it would be a detriment to require the sign to be moved when the permit was issued with no fault to the owner. The BZA stated justification for the six (6) criteria and unanimously recommended approval of the Variances by a 6-0 vote, with 1 seat vacant, subject to the 3 conditions in the staff report.
