Board of Zoning Appeals - August 27 2026

The City of Anderson Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on August 27, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request for an accessory building at 203 Henry Avenue. The applicant sought an 18-foot variance from front yard setback requirements to place a shed in front of the house, which is located unusually far back on the lot. Staff recommended approval of the variance, noting the unique site conditions and that the accessory building would still be set back 93 feet from the street. The board voted to approve the variance. It was also noted that the accessory building would require further approval from the Board of Architectural Review due to its location in a historic district. Additionally, the board was informed about the recent adoption of a unified development ordinance by the city council, which may affect future zoning considerations.
