Commission approves variance to restore carport at Crestview Drive after hurricane damage
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a variance to reduce the side setback to permit reconstruction of a carport at 303 Crestview Drive in the same location it occupied prior to hurricane damage.
The Columbia County Planning and Zoning Commission on July 17 recommended approval of a variance to reduce the side setback to approximately 3 feet at 303 Crestview Drive so the owner may rebuild a carport in the same location it occupied before being destroyed by a hurricane. Staff said the carport and an ancillary garage had been on the property for roughly 17 years and were located about 3 feet from the property line; the standard setback at the location is 10 feet. The applicant stated the replacement structure would be built in the same footprint. Staff recommended approval and the commission voted to recommend the variance. A planning condition noted in the presentation: the reduced setback applies to replacement in the existing location; future redevelopment or relocation that removes the structure would require conformance with the standard setback requirements.
