Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-03-04-038 — Thomas Carson

Request: Variance in C-1 (retail commercial) zone to construct addition to existing medical office 8 ft. from rear property line in lieu of 20 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The property contains a medical office (cardiology specialist) within the Oakwater Professional Office Condominium project. A similar variance was approved by the BZA to this building in 1994. That approval was to allow a 495 square foot storage addition at the rear of the buildings. The current request would line up to the side of that addition. The new addition is about one-half this size and will be used for an office and filing. There is a brick wall separating the rear of the property and residential homes to the north. The home most directly affected by the request is owned by the applicant, Thomas Carson. Several letters were received in favor, including one from the property owners' association. There was no opposition to this request.
