06 23 2026 BZA Minutes

The Platte County Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) held a meeting on June 23, 2026, primarily addressing several variance requests and an appeal related to zoning and special use permits. The board reviewed a variance request for a sideyard setback to allow a room addition and third-car garage on a residential property, which was approved after confirming neighbor support. Another variance was sought for a rear yard setback to construct a large outbuilding in a planned unit development; after discussion and neighbor opposition concerning view obstruction, the variance was granted with a reduced setback. The meeting's major procurement-related discussion involved an appeal concerning the expiration and validity of a special use permit and building permits for a self-storage facility in a highway commercial zone. Staff and legal representatives presented arguments about the permit's expiration, the validity of a land disturbance (grading) permit as a building permit substitute, and compliance with zoning conditions. The appeal was ultimately denied by a 4-0 vote, affirming the county's position that the special use permit remained valid and construction could proceed. The meeting concluded with approval of minutes and scheduling of the next meeting.
