Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-25-11-055 — Edynardo Weyne

Request: Variance in the R-2 zoning district to allow a new residence with a side street setback of 6.1 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 denial 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 wanted to build on the subject lot and the two lots to the south to improve development in the area. The BZA asked questions about vacating the right of way to possibly eliminate the need for a variance. Additional discussion followed regarding compatibility with the surrounding area and needed development in this area of the County. The BZA determined that the request is appropriate as the right of way to the north was undeveloped and would not be injurious to surrounding properties. 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 three conditions found in the staff report.

Conditions: 1) Development shall be in accordance with the site plan and elevations stamped on December 10, 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).
