Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-16-10-132 — MARK G. RYAN

Request: Variance in the R-1A zoning district to construct a total of 910 sq. ft. of accessory structure floor area in lieu of 500 sq. ft. (Note: This is the result of code enforcement action. The applicant submitted five (5) letters of support from neighbors).

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant was cited by the Code Enforcement Division for constructing a detached storage building without building permits. Staff gave an overview of the request. In conclusion staff could not support the request. The amount of deviation from the code was too great. The applicant gave a brief presentation to the BZA. The BZA concluded the size of the storage building was too big and asked the applicant how much smaller if could accept. The applicant indicated the requested amount was what he preferred. The BZA approved the request but limited the size of the total amount of accessory use square footage to 750. There was no opposition at the hearing.
