Summary
The Board approved variances allowing a two-story addition, 408 sq ft first-floor expansion and a ~256 sq ft garage expansion at 2107 N. Halifax Ave., reducing interior and front setbacks; board noted an identical variance had been approved in July 2024 but expired before permits were pulled.
The Daytona Beach Board of Adjustment on Dec. 18 approved a variance allowing owners David and Julie Lynn Smith to expand their single-family home at 2107 N. Halifax Avenue.
David Linn Smith, who identified himself as the property owner, said the Smiths bought the property in 2024 and had previously received the exact variance on July 18, 2024, but the approval lapsed before construction permits were secured. The current request reduces the interior setback from 10 feet to 7 feet and the front setback from 30 feet to 27 feet to allow a 408-square-foot first-floor expansion, a second-story addition above the south side of the home and a roughly 256-square-foot garage expansion.
Smith said the existing garage already sits about 7.5 feet from the property line because it was built in 1967 and that the planned design would build up from the existing footprint. Board members confirmed the site plan and, after a brief discussion and a motion to approve, voted unanimously by roll call.
The board recorded no additional conditions during the hearing. The approval lets the Smiths proceed with architecture and permitting consistent with the approved variance.
