Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-25-05-013 — Melissa Perez

Request: Variance in the A-2 zoning district to allow a minimum developable lot area of 0.32 acres in lieu of 0.5 acres.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: 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 approval of the Variance. Staff noted that no comments were received in favor and one comment was received in opposition to the request. The applicant was present and agreed with staff's recommendation. The applicant stated they are planning on living in the home and were unaware of the upland requirement when purchasing the property. The BZA discussed that the property cannot be developed without the request and wetland area restricts the buildable area of the lot. There was no one in attendance to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. The BZA recommended approval of Variance request by a 7-0 vote, subject to the three (3) conditions found in the staff report.

Conditions: 1) Development shall be in accordance with the lot area shown on the site plan date stamped April 8, 2025, 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 (BCC).
