City of Florence Board of Zoning Appeals - December 18, 2025

The City of Florence Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on December 18, 2025, primarily to consider a variance request related to zoning regulations. The key procurement-related discussion involved a request by Crystal Fuentes for a variance to reduce the minimum side setback from eight feet to four feet for a detached garage on her residential property at 1774 Bellevue Drive. City staff presented the case, noting that the garage would align with the existing driveway and would not significantly impact neighbors or the neighborhood's character. After hearing from the applicant and reviewing the facts, the board voted to approve the variance request, allowing the garage to be built closer to the property line than normally permitted. No other procurement or contracting matters were discussed during the meeting.
