Suffolk Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting (3-9-21)

The City of Suffolk, Virginia Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on March 9, 2021, primarily focused on public hearings for variance requests related to residential property setbacks. The board considered two variance applications: one requesting a reduction of the front yard setback from 25 feet to 5.7 feet for a second-story addition, which was tabled until the April meeting due to the applicant's absence; and another requesting a reduction of the rear yard setback from 30 feet to 20 feet for an addition to accommodate an in-home daycare, which was approved. The board discussed procedural matters including the presence of applicants at meetings and the possibility of amending bylaws to require or encourage applicant representation. No contract awards, procurement decisions, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
