Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-24-06-048 — John Jutila

Request: Variances in the R-1AA zoning district for the construction of a residence as follows: 1) To allow a north front setback of 25 ft. in lieu of 30 ft. 2) To allow a south rear setback of 26.5 ft. in lieu of 35 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 favor of the request, and eight (8) comments were received in opposition to the requests. The applicant discussed the recommendation of denial, noting that the property developable area is reduced in size since it is a reverse corner lot, and briefly described the specifications of the proposed design. There was no one in attendance to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. The BZA discussed the requests, determining the new residence as proposed would have a lesser encroachment than the existing residence and unanimously recommended approval of the Variances by a 5-0 vote, with one absent and one seat vacant, subject to the three (3) conditions found in the staff report with the modification to Condition #1 as follows, ¿ Development shall be in accordance with the site plan dated April 10, 2024, and elevations dated April 8, 2024, subject to the conditions of approval, and all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. Any proposed non-substantial deviations, changes, or modifications will be subject to the Zoning Manager's review and approval. Any proposed substantial deviations, changes, or modifications will be subject to a public hearing before the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) where the BZA makes a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.¿
