York County Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting November 12, 2026

The York County Board of Zoning Appeals met on November 12, 2026. The board approved the August 13 meeting minutes, then heard a single application for a two-foot variance from the three-foot side setback requirement for residential mechanical equipment, specifically pool equipment, at a home in the Braden Planned Development near Fort Mill. Staff recommended denial, finding that the request did not meet all required variance criteria. The applicant described site constraints, including drainage and landscape easements and limited space between homes; a neighboring resident raised concerns about noise and the equipment’s proximity to a dining-room window and bedroom.

After closing the public hearing, the board voted to deny the variance; no members opposed the motion. The board also approved meeting dates, then adjourned. No procurement, contracting, or budget activity was identified.
