# Board of Zoning Appeals

The Augusta, Georgia Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on September 22, 2026, to consider multiple variance requests related to zoning and development projects. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of setback variances for multifamily residential developments in the Sand Hills Estates area, with conditions to ensure compliance with zoning and landscaping requirements. The board also reviewed and approved a variance to increase fence height for privacy on a residential property, and a variance allowing the use of a rolling trash bin instead of a stationary dumpster for a contractor's office/warehouse site. Additionally, variances were approved for accessory building size and setbacks for residential garages and for lot width requirements to enable single-family home construction on a narrow lot. Staff recommendations were presented for each case, and motions to approve with conditions were unanimously passed in most cases, reflecting a focus on balancing development needs with zoning compliance and community impact.
