Staff Report TO: FROM: RE: Chesapeake Board of Zoning Appeals Dale Ware, AICP, CZA Application # ZON-BZA-2018-00016 1008 Sanderson Road and 1040 Sanderson Road Hearing Date: May 24, 2018 Application # ZON-BZA-2018-00016 Edward O. & Cindy S. Gosman, property owners, 1040 Sanderson Road, requesting a variance from Sections 6-302.A.2 and 3 of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance to reduce the minimum lot width and frontage requirements of 175 feet and 140 feet to zero (0) for proposed Lot 4A, and from Section 6-302.A.2 to reduce the minimum lot width requirement of 175 feet to 162 feet for proposed for Lot 5. The property is further identified as LT 4 RESUB PARCELS 11 & 13 SCOTLAND FARMS 42.172 AC; Real Estate Parcel No. 0980000000170 and LT 3 RESUB PARCELS 11 & 13 SCOTLAND FARMS 4.05 AC; Real Estate Parcel No. 0980000000173, Zoning Classification A-1, residential. Background Information: The applicant is proposing to subdivide an existing A-1 lot into 5 lots. Residential lots in the A-1 agricultural district shall comply with the requirements set out for lots in the RE-1 residential estate district. Two proposed lots (4A & 5) after re-subdivision would not comply with current zoning requirements for the RE-1, residential zoning district. The applicant requires a variance from the RE-1 development standards for the proposed subdivision since lots being subdivided must meet the development standards for the zoning district in order to subdivide. This application was advertised in the Chesapeake Clipper section of the Virginian Pilot Newspaper and adjacent property owners were mailed notice of this request in accordance with Section 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia. The applicant was provided a public notice sign to be posted on the property pursuant to the requirements of Section 20-702.E of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Sections 20-402.A & B of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance and Section 15.2 2309 of the Code of Virginia require certain standards be met for the Board of Zoning Appeals to grant a variance. These standards are listed at the end of this report as an excerpt from Section 20-402.A & B of the Zoning Ordinance. To approve the variance the Board must find, conditioned upon the applicant acquiring the property in good faith, that the applicant s situation is unique due to the particular physical surroundings, size, shape, 1

topographical condition or other extraordinary situation and not shared by other properties in the same zoning district and vicinity, that the denial of the variance would result in undue hardship rather than an inconvenience, that the character of the district would not be changed as a result of the granting of the variance, and that the situation is not such of a general nature that would require a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to achieve compliance. The applicant has not shown that the denial of the variance would effectively prohibit or otherwise unreasonably restrict the proposed use of the property. The applicant does not have a hardship as the applicant would have the ability to use the current lot configuration although not as appealing from a design standpoint. The evidence indicates that the applicant has not met all the criteria needed for the granting of a variance under state law. With this information and along with the strict construct of state law and the Zoning Ordinance requirements for the granting of the variance, staff recommends denial of this variance to the Board. 10-500. - A-1 agricultural district. EXCERPTS FROM CHESAPEAKE ZONING ORDINANCE 10-502. - Residential development standards. A. With the exception of approved cluster developments residential lots in the A-1 agricultural district shall comply with the requirements set out for lots in the RE-1 residential estate district (see section 6-300); except, however, that the minimum lot size of three (3) acres may be reduced to one acre or more in the case of property immediately surrounding a residential structure that was in existence and occupied prior to July 20, 1995; provided that, where septic tanks are used, the Chesapeake Health Department certifies that adequate sewage disposal can be assured. Lots less than three (3) acres in size which qualify for residential uses in accordance with this section shall comply with the minimum lot widths, setbacks and maximum lot coverage standards set out in section 10-503(A) below for nonresidential development of A-1 agricultural districts lots. Such lots shall comply with all other development standards set out in Section 6-300 for residential estates and in section 6-2000 for residential districts. B. Cluster developments shall comply with all requirements in section 6-2200 et seq. of this ordinance. (Ord. No. 95-O-112, 6-20-95; Ord. No. 04-O-079, 5-18-04) 6-300. - RE-1 residential estate district. 6-302. - Development standards. A. General site standards. (The Chesapeake health department may require larger lots, widths and setbacks where deemed necessary for adequate sewage disposal.) 1. Minimum lot size, 3 acres. 2. Minimum lot width, 175 feet. For lots used exclusively for storm water management, open space or conservation that comply with section 19-201.D.6 of this ordinance, the minimum lot width shall be 50 feet. The planning director or designee may approve a further reduction or waiver of minimum lot width equal to a reduction in minimum lot frontage approved in accordance with section 19-201.D.7 of this ordinance. 2

3. Minimum lot frontage, 140 feet. For lots used exclusively for storm water management, open space or conservation that comply with section 19-201.D.6 of this ordinance, the minimum lot frontage shall be 50 feet. The planning director or designee may approve a further reduction or waiver of minimum lot frontage in accordance with section 19-201.D.7 of this ordinance. 4. Principal building setback (required yards). a. From streets (front yards), 50 feet. (Setback from streets shall be measured from the reservation line established in accordance with the city's adopted Master Transportation Plan. Where a reservation line cannot be established under the provisions of the adopted Master Transportation Plan, setbacks shall be measured as provided for in section 19-202. See section 19-202.C. for treatment of corner lots.) b. From lot lines. (1) Side yard. There shall be a side yard along each side of each building and the sum of the widths of the two side yards shall not be less than 25 percent of the width of the lot. The minimum width of any such side yard shall be 10 percent of the width of the lot, provided that no such side yard shall be less than 10 feet in width, and provided further, that in any case where the total required width of the two side yards is more than 45 feet, one side of such yard need not be more than 20 feet in width. (2) Rear yard, 40 feet. 5. Maximum lot coverage of all buildings and roofed structures, 35 percent. 6. Maximum building height, 35 feet. (Note: Under section 19-205, this maximum building height may be exceeded upon approval of a conditional use permit.) B. Off-street parking. The minimum off-street parking requirements for each use in the RE-1 district shall be determined from the standards set forth for the applicable parking group as defined in section 19-411 and from the "parking" column on the use schedule established under section 6-2102. C. Other development standards. Other development standards pertaining to all residential districts are set out in section 6-2000 et seq. (Ord. No. 96-O-072, 5-21-96; Ord. No. 05-O-015, 3-8-05; Ord. No. 05-O- 071, 6-21-05; Ord. No. 17-O-081, 11-21-17) 20-402. Standards for variances General standards; the Board of zoning appeals shall authorize a variance from the terms of this ordinance only when such authorization will not be contrary to the public interests and when, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance would unreasonably restrict the utilization of the property, provided that the spirit of the ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done. Action and specific findings required; the board shall either: approve, deny or approve with conditions the request for a variance. A "Variance" means, in the application of a zoning ordinance, a reasonable deviation from those provisions regulating the shape, size, or area of a lot or parcel of land or the size, height, area, bulk, or location of a building or structure when the strict application of the ordinance would unreasonably restrict the utilization of the property, and such need for a variance would not be shared generally by other properties, and provided such variance is not contrary to the purpose of the ordinance. It shall not include a change in use, which change shall be accomplished by a rezoning or by a conditional zoning. 3

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, general or special, a variance shall be granted if the evidence shows that the strict application of the terms of the ordinance would unreasonably restrict the utilization of the property or that the granting of the variance would alleviate a hardship due to a physical condition relating to the property or improvements thereon at the time of the effective date of the ordinance, and 1. the property interest for which the variance is being requested was acquired in good faith and any hardship was not created by the applicant for the variance; 2. the granting of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and nearby properties in the proximity of that geographical area; 3. the condition or situation of the property concerned is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of a general regulation to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance; 4. the granting of the variance does not result in a use that is not otherwise permitted on such property or a change in the zoning classification of the property; and 5. The relief or remedy sought by the variance application is not available through a special exception process at the time of the filing of the variance application. END OF REPORT 4
