Applicant seeking federal firearms license told to check deed covenants; matter deferred to next month
Summary
A resident asked the Board of Zoning Appeals for approval of a customary home occupation tied to a federal firearms license application; the board asked the applicant to verify subdivision covenants and deferred formal consideration to next meeting.
A Hamblin County resident, Connor Fedora, asked the Board of Zoning Appeals on Oct. 6 for a customary home occupation permit to allow work tied to a future federal firearms license (FFL).
Fedora told the board he would not operate retail pickup from his home, planned to ship or transport finished builds to dealers, and expected to use a one-car garage for fabrication and assembly. He said live-fire testing would occur off-site at authorized ranges. He described plans to focus on sales to licensed dealers rather than direct in-person retail to the public.
Board members and staff asked Fedora to check subdivision covenants and deed restrictions before the board acted; staff advised him to obtain any covenant information from the county clerk’s records. The board placed Fedora on the agenda for the next month so he can provide covenant documentation and any other required paperwork. Planning staff noted similar uses exist in the jurisdiction but that local covenant restrictions can bar home occupations regardless of zoning permission.
Ending: The board deferred formal action and directed staff and the applicant to return next month with covenant documentation and any clarifying materials the ATF or dealers require.
