Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-26-02-003 — Jeremy Anderson

Request: Variances in the C-2 zoning district to allow a structure (fire suppression tank building) as follows: 1) With a north front setback of 19.7 ft. in lieu of 25 ft. 2) With an east side street setback of 9 ft. in lieu of 15 ft.

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 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 Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) asked questions regarding the fire suppression systems, the absence of sprinklers in the primary structure and the location of the proposed fire suppression tank. The BZA determined that the request is appropriate, as the fire suppression tank is essential to the structure¿s fire and public safety. 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 6-0 vote, with one absent, subject to the three conditions found in the staff report.

Conditions: 1) Development shall be in accordance with the site plan and fire suppression tank elevations dated November 18,2025, 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).
