Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-19-02-188 — LUIS GOMEZ

Request: Variances in the A-1 zoning district to construct a new modular home as follows: 1) To allow a minimum lot width of 58 ft. in lieu of 100 ft. 2) To allow a minimum lot size of .17 acres in lieu of .5 acres. 3) To allow a front yard setback of 23 ft. in lieu of 35 ft. 4) To allow a rear yard setback of 42 ft. in lieu of 50 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant is proposing to construct a new modular home on the existing lot. Staff explained there was a home on the lot previously that was removed. The variances are needed as the lot is too small for the A-1 zoning district and is not a lot of record. Staff showed the surrounding lots, zoning map, previous variances approved, and demonstrated that no house could be built in this area without variances due to the current zoning designation of agricultural. There was no one present at the public hearing to speak, and the applicant waived his time. The BZA felt the request was reasonable and to allow the applicant to rebuild the variances were required; they approved the request unanimously.
