Board of Adjustment and Appeals March 11, 2026

The City of Englewood Colorado Board of Adjustment and Appeals held a meeting on March 11, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request for a minor structure (a shed) at 4229 South Fox Street. The applicant sought approval to keep the shed within the front and side setback areas, which are normally restricted. Staff provided a split recommendation: approving the front setback variance but denying the side setback variance. After hearing from the applicant and neighbors, the board discussed the unique site conditions, including limited backyard space and the presence of a large tree, which influenced their decision. The board ultimately voted 5-1 to grant the variance allowing the shed to remain within both the front and side setbacks, citing practical hardship and minimal impact on neighbors. Additionally, the board briefly discussed ongoing work related to short-term rental regulations, noting that further discussions and decisions would occur in future meetings. No contract awards, procurement actions, or budget allocations were addressed during this meeting.
