Hearing Date: January 9,2023 Background lnformation : The applicant, Steven Daniel, is requesting a variance from the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Article 4, Section 31-407(c), Table 407-'l(L), Dimensional Standards, to reduce the required side yard setback adjacent to a street from 25ft to Sft and the required side yard from 1Oft to Sft for the construction of a single family dwelling. The property is identified as Tax Map and Parcel 34G24(3)3-9, located on 824 E Washington Street, Virginia, Whaleyville voting borough, zoning classification RM, Residential Medium District. This variance requestwas advertised in the Sut7o/k News Herald, and a noticewas mailed to adjacent property owners in accordance with Section 15.2-2204 of lhe Code of Virginia. The public notice sign was posted on the property pursuant to the request of the Zoning Administrator. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: ln accordance with Section 31-309(c)(2) of the UDO, a variance may be granted by the Board only if the applicant establishes compliance with the hardship criteria established in Section 15.2-2309 of theCodeof Virginia. An excerpt from the State Code which outlines the established criteria is attached at the end of this report. ln approving a variance, the Board must find, conditioned upon the applicant having acquired the property in good faith, that the applicant's situation is unique due to the particular physical surroundings, size, shape, topographical condition or other extraordinary situation and not shared by other properties in the same zoning district and vicinity. The Board must also find that the denial of the variance would result in undue hardship rather than an inconvenience, that the character of the district would not be changed as a result of the granting of the variance, and that the situation is not such of a general nature that it would require a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to achieve compliance. The applicant states the Residential Medium zoning district (RM) setbacks will not allow the development of a proposed 20'W by 30'L single family dwelling at the location of 401 Spruce Street. The dimensional requirements for newly-platted lots in the Residential Medium zoning district (RM) requires a total land area of 10,000 square feet with a minimum street frontage of 60 feet and a minimum lot width of B0 feet when measured at the front setback line. The property calculates to 2,850 square feet in land area which is non-conforming when compared to the minimum requirements of the Residential Medium zoning district (RM). According to the exhibits provided, the property will not support a 20ft-wide single family dwelling. Under Section 31-801 (e)(1)(A)(iii) of the Unified Development Ordinance, allows the Zoning Administrator to grant up to a 30 percent reduction on the front, side(s) and rear setbacks on a substandard lot. Unfortunately, the reduction requests for the property exceed the 30 percent allowance for an administrative variance request. The RM zoning district will not support the construction of a single family dwelling on a substandard lot, therefore, staff recommends approval of the request.  ,ffi GENERAL LOCATION MAP BZA2023-036 't > t 'I .t: 'r) ta, ) 1. , t r e I ,u \.. >, { f \_-::" Subject Property t r 7 I I \ Central Growth Area fr uu-ncr rror.roRoPERrY ! f Nrxeo usE coRE CORE SUPPORT - INNER-RING SUBURBAN t SUBURBAN I nuul coNSERVATToN ! nunm lcRrcuLTURAL .r 1,..., , - t\|trn /N t'.':t ., J ':", -, l.t, v -. r.-il', F 1 N Author: TINGALSBE 0 1 2 4 6 B Daie:12-21-2023 Miles A L  ZONING/ LAND USE BZA2023-036 *., 3; A d l...- I t it l a r II f]- t I I ,,t,/ ---- a I.Z I L Subject Propefi 34G24(3)3*9 35(,879()()0 / -"---r---- J - l i) \ tl eo I , 1 \ I a f r I -t ---J i- T 17{ Image: Suffolk Pictometry 2021 * Author: TINGALSBE 02550 100 150 200 Datet 12-21-2023 Feet A  ( l^ ,/,L 611 G s ?j\ ul ?s NON ??
