Board of Adjustment - July 16th 2026

The City of Prescott Board of Adjustment held a meeting on July 16, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request related to setback reductions for a new single-family residence in the Highland Forest Highlands townhome development. The board reviewed the request to reduce side and rear setbacks to align with existing homes in the area, noting that the original platting under an older zoning code allowed for such reductions, though documentation was lacking. The applicant addressed concerns about drainage, confirming that civil engineering plans would be submitted and approved during the building permit process. After discussion, the board voted unanimously to approve the variance request V26-006, allowing the reduced setbacks consistent with the neighborhood's development pattern.
