York County Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting

The York County Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on July 9, 2026, to consider a variance request from Christian and Linda Wright for a 2.5-foot reduction in the side setback requirement to construct a 22-foot wide detached carport on their property at 155 Mack Drive. County staff recommended denial of the variance, citing that the applicant did not meet all four required criteria for granting a variance, particularly the lack of extraordinary or exceptional conditions unique to the property and the fact that the variance would not unreasonably restrict the property's use. The applicant argued that the variance was necessary due to the existing placement of the house and the precedent set by a neighboring carport. After discussion, the board voted 3-2 to deny the variance request. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed during the meeting.
