Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-16-12-151 — RYAN MILLER

Request: Variances in the R-CE zoning district to construct new single family residence and carport as follows: 1) Single family residence: 5 ft. from the north side property line in lieu of 10 ft.; 2) Carport: To construct carport 3 ft. from south side property line in lieu of 10 ft.. (Note: Applicant proposes to replace existing single family home with a new single family home).

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff noted the proposed setbacks was acceptable because most of lots in this area were substandard, and over 20 variances for substandard lots have been approved to date. The applicant noted that the plan reviewed by staff had been revised to reflect a port cocher that was being proposed along the south property line adjacent to a parking lot used by nearby businesses. It was noted that the reduced side setback would not impact anyone, and that the lot was very substandard in width and area. As such, the variance was warranted. There was no opposition.
