Suffolk Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting (4-11-23)

The City of Suffolk, Virginia Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on April 11, 2023, to consider variance requests related to residential construction setbacks. Two separate requests were reviewed, both seeking reductions in the required front, rear, and side yard setbacks to allow the construction of single-family dwellings on substandard lots at 542 and 540 Wilson Street. Staff recommended approval of both variance requests, noting that the properties did not meet current zoning dimensional standards but qualified for variances due to their substandard size. The board voted unanimously to approve both requests, supporting the development of affordable housing in the downtown area. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed during the meeting.
