Suffolk Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting (9-9-25)

The City of Suffolk Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on September 9, 2025, to consider two variance requests related to property development. The first item involved a request by Enterprise Leasing Company LLC to reduce the special corridor overlay district rear yard setback from 30 feet to 20 feet for constructing a passenger vehicle rental facility at 5665 Shoulders Hill Road. The board approved the variance with conditions including additional fencing and landscaping to address concerns from adjacent residential properties. The second item was a variance request by Larry D. Powell to reduce the front yard setback from 25 feet to 9.2 feet for building a single-family dwelling. After discussion about site constraints and potential adjustments, the board deferred the decision for 30 days to allow the applicant and city staff to work on a more suitable house placement that meets setback requirements while addressing flooding and property concerns. No contract awards or procurement actions were discussed during the meeting.
