Summary of the decision
VA-18-12-156 — JOSE PARADELA
Request: Variance in the R-1AA zoning district to allow 960 sq. ft. of accessory structures in lieu of 500 sq. ft.
Decision: Approved
Hearing: The applicant is proposing an 840 sq. ft. detached garage in their rear yard. Per code they are allowed up to 500 sq. ft. Staff explained that if the property were zoned A-1 or A-2 they would be allowed up to 1,000 sq. ft. Staff explained the site, the previous BZA approvals, and variance criteria. The applicant was not present at the hearing. One person spoke in opposition to the request. The neighbor on the east side of the property stated they are opposed to the overall size of the structure, the height, and the applicant possibly rebuilding cars in this structure. The BZA discussed adding a condition regarding the structure matching the existing residence and that no commercial activity should be allowed at this location. The BZA concluded the request was reasonable and granted the variance with the recommended conditions.
