Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-25-11-064 — Roy E. Tyson

Request: Variance in the I-4 zoning district to allow the parking of commercial vehicles within the front fifty (50) percent of the required front yard.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff presented the proposal, outlined the property's location, site plan, and site photos, and reviewed the six criteria and explained the reasons for recommending approval of the Variance. Staff noted that no public comments were received in support and no comments were received in opposition to the request. The applicant, who was present, stated that they were in support of Staff¿s recommendation. The BZA asked questions about the right of way taking and eminent domain that significantly reduced the frontage of the subject property. Additional discussion followed regarding open space requirements and the nonconforming nature of lot. The BZA determined that the request is appropriate as there was eminent domain taken, which limited the available front yard for required commercial operations. There was no one in attendance to speak in favor or in opposition to the request The BZA recommended approval of the Variance request by a 5-0 vote, with two absent, subject to the six conditions found in the staff report.

Conditions: 1) Development shall be in accordance with the site plan dated December 15, 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).
