The City of Florence, South Carolina Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on June 26, 2026, to consider two variance requests related to residential property development. The first case involved a request by Maria Toledo to subdivide a parcel at 3801 Breckenridge Circle into two smaller lots, each slightly under the minimum 15,000 square feet required by the NC-15 zoning district. The board heard extensive public opposition citing concerns about neighborhood character, property values, and traffic safety. Ultimately, the applicant withdrew the variance request, agreeing to build a single home instead. The second case concerned a variance request for a setback reduction to place a 12x12-foot shed closer to property lines than allowed. After discussion and neighbor input, the board considered approving a 5-foot setback variance to accommodate the shed placement without impacting neighbors. The meeting included motions and votes related to accepting the withdrawal of the first variance and deliberations on the second variance request, emphasizing compliance with zoning codes and neighborhood compatibility.
