Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-20-12-114 — Sugey Librado

Request: Variance in the A-2 zoning district to allow a 400 sq. ft. existing addition located 41 ft. from the south rear property line in lieu of 50 ft. This is the result of Code Enforcement action.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: SYNOPSIS: Staff discussed the proposal, covering the location of the property, the survey, site plan, floor plans, elevations, and photos of the site. Staff provided an analysis of the six (6) variance criteria and the reasons for a recommendation of denial since the owner has other options available to meet the code requirements. Staff explained the history of the property, including the Code Enforcement history. Staff noted that no comments were received in support and no comments were received in opposition. The owner described the addition and the need for it to remain as-built. The BZA asked if the addition could be redesigned in order to meet code requirements, but the owner stated it would require partial demolition of the existing improvements. There was no one present to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. The BZA unanimously recommended approval of the variance, subject to the five (5) conditions in the staff report.
