Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-18-05-050 — DAVID WING

Request: Variance in the R-1A zoning district to construct a second floor addition to an existing single family residence with a side (east) setback of 7 ft. in lieu of 7.5 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff explained that the home was constructed in 1970, and that the applicant purchased the home in 1987. As such the need for the variance was not self-imposed. The applicant will not be increasing the footprint, but following the existing building line vertically. As such, this was the least variance needed. Virtually all but one homeowner on the street supports the request. No correspondence in opposition was received. The applicant indicated their agreement with the staff recommendation and the conditions. There being no one in attendance to speak for or against the request, the public hearing was closed. The BZA found that the request satisfies the criteria for the granting of a variance. A motion to recommend approval passed unanimously.
