The City of Florence Board of Zoning Appeals met on October 23, 2026. It approved the September 24 meeting minutes. For hearing 2026-19 at 156 North Homestead Drive, the board voted to table a request to subdivide a lot and obtain variances for a proposed duplex. Staff was asked to contact the applicant about whether they would consider a single-family home instead; the applicant was not present. The requested variances concerned lot width and a side setback.

For hearing 2026-20 at 702 Fairway Drive, the board approved a variance to replace an existing deteriorated storage building within its current footprint, closer to the property line than the current setback allows. The transcript then records discussion of hearing 2026-21, a special-exception request for a Dutch Bros. drive-through coffee shop at 2111 South Irby Street, part of a site planned alongside Chipotle and Scrubby’s car wash. Staff described the proposed access, vehicle stacking, and landscaping; the transcript ends before the board’s decision is shown. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
