Zoning Board of Adjustments - Jun 25 2026

The Walton County Zoning Board of Adjustments held a meeting on June 25, 2026, primarily to consider variance requests related to residential property setbacks and parking requirements. Key procurement-related discussions involved approving variances to reduce side and front yard setbacks for a bayfront lot to enable construction of a modest single-family home, with considerations of parking space requirements and HOA easements. The board also reviewed a variance request to reduce rear setbacks for a property adjacent to a state park to allow for a swimming pool and accessory dwelling unit, which was ultimately denied due to lack of demonstrated hardship. Another variance was approved to modify setbacks and reduce parking spaces in accordance with the White Cliff Architectural Review Board guidelines. The meeting included detailed discussions on compliance with land development codes, setback measurements, parking regulations, and community impact, with motions passed to approve or deny variances accordingly.
