Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-17-09-084 — DENISE STONE

Request: Variance in the R-1A zoning district to allow an existing addition (awning) to a single family residence to remain 4 ft. from the side (east) property line in lieu of 7.5 ft. (Note: The applicant has submitted letters of support from three (3) neighbors. This application is a result of code enforcement action.)

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff gave a brief presentation on the case covering the location, the site plan, and photos. Staff advised the BZA that the HOA had communicated to Zoning Staff that they would not approve the request. The BZA asked if the applicant had spoken to the H.O.A. The applicant stated that the awning was there when they bought the house and they had spoken to the H.O.A., and thought they could get it approved. The BZA stated that the amount of variance requested is reasonable, but the H.O.A. issue cannot be resolved this level. Staff received 4 commentaries in favor of the application, and none in opposition to the application. There was no opposition at the hearing. The BZA approved the variance.
