Planning Commission recommends approval of variance and second-story addition for McGlynn property
Summary
Commissioners recommended approval of a variance for Michael and Tracy McGlynn to allow a second-story addition at 31130 Fifth Street North, with a condition that an existing shed be removed and not replaced; the vote was 10–0 to recommend approval.
The Virginia Beach Planning Commission recommended approval Aug. 13, 2025, of a variance and building alterations for property owners Michael and Tracy McGlynn at 31130 Fifth Street North.
Applicant representative Billy Garrrington described plans for a second-story addition and front porch to the existing single-family dwelling, built in 1940, and said detailed plans and color renderings were submitted to staff. Garrrington said the existing site includes a shed that causes the property to exceed the 35% lot coverage standard; he told commissioners the shed will be removed and the owners do not intend to operate the property as a short-term rental.
Staff had included four conditions in its written recommendation; the applicants indicated agreement with all conditions. Commissioner Plumlee moved to approve the application with a modification clarifying that the existing shed be removed and not replaced; that motion was seconded and, by recorded vote, the commission recommended approval 10–0.
The commission recorded no public speakers on the matter. The planning department will forward the commission’s recommendation and the application materials to the City Council for final action.
