# 20260916 Board of Adjustments Meeting

The Cochise County Board of Adjustments held a meeting on September 16, 2026, to consider several variance requests related to zoning regulations. Key procurement-related discussions focused on docket B26-10, where applicants requested relief from landscaping, paving, screening, and parking requirements for a contractor construction yard at 2092 North Highway 90 in Whetstone, Arizona. The board discussed the applicant's request to use asphalt millings instead of chip seal for parking and storage areas, and to retain existing fencing that was partially opaque rather than replacing it with a fully opaque screen. After deliberation, the board approved the variance with conditions allowing millings for equipment storage areas, chip seal for employee parking, and requiring 100% opaque fencing, while striking the condition to combine parcels due to existing liens. Another variance, docket B26-11, was approved to allow a larger permanent window graphic sign than normally permitted for a business in Benson, Arizona. The meeting also included a variance request for setbacks related to an RV carport and sheds in Sierra Vista, with discussion of neighborhood impacts and compliance. The board announced a joint work session with the Planning and Zoning Commission scheduled for October 14, 2026, to discuss variance findings and related topics. No direct contract awards or procurement contracts were discussed, but the meeting addressed zoning and permitting conditions that could impact future construction and development projects.
