City of Florence Board of Zoning Appeals - March 26, 2026

The City of Florence Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on March 26, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request related to subdividing two oversized lots into three parcels on Hondro Circle and Jeffrey's Lane. The applicant, Mr. Steve Dools, explained that the subdivision would create three lots with approximately 90-foot frontage each, nearly meeting the 15,000 square foot minimum lot size, to facilitate the construction of three new single-family homes valued around $400,000 each. The board discussed neighborhood lot size uniformity, zoning compliance, and the impact on community character. A nearby resident expressed concerns about property values and traffic but was reassured that only single-family detached homes would be built, consistent with zoning. After deliberation, the board unanimously approved the variance request, allowing the additional lot creation and future home construction. No other agenda items or announcements were made.
