The Jefferson County Board of Zoning Adjustment on July 28 approved a variance permitting the proposed Breckenwood Apartments to use parking stalls that are 9 feet by 18 feet instead of the county’s standard 10-by-20-foot stall size. Staff said the 9.83-acre parcel zoned R-4 required two parking spaces per unit under county rules and that allowing the reduced stall dimensions would enable the developer to meet minimum parking counts and required landscaping.

A representative for the applicant, Hoss Gilbert of Goodman Mills Kaywood, spoke at the hearing and confirmed the plan calls for 210 apartment units. Staff noted prior approvals in similar contexts and recommended approval. No members of the public spoke in opposition.

A board member moved to approve case A250023; another seconded, and the board voted to grant the variance. Staff recommended and the board accepted the reduced parking dimensions to accommodate required parking capacity and landscaping on the site.
