Board of Zoning Appeals - September 9, 2026

The Board of Zoning Appeals meeting held by RCTV on September 9, 2026, addressed two main agenda items involving zoning variances and special exceptions. The first item was a variance request by Shelby Craig for a 2.1-foot relief from the 5-foot side yard setback for an existing accessory building at 114 Limmerick Street. The board discussed the self-imposed nature of the variance, the structure's temporary status, and compliance issues. After debate, the board voted to deny the variance request due to it being a self-created hardship. The second item involved a request for a temporary special exception to allow outdoor farm equipment auctions at 3171 Highway 41A. The board reviewed staff recommendations, including limiting events to three per year, daylight hours, and parking restrictions. The applicant and auctioneers provided background and operational details. The board approved the special exception with a modification extending the allowable merchandise presence to two weeks before and after the event, ensuring compliance with cleanup and operational conditions.
