Board approves setback variance for Derbyshire Road lot owned by Living Faith World Ministries
Summary
A variance to reduce interior side setbacks for a Derbyshire Road lot owned by Living Faith World Ministries was approved after a disclosure and a recusal; the board approved the request 5‑0 with one member setting herself aside.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment approved a variance on Feb. 19 allowing reduced interior side setbacks so that an approximately 2,200‑square‑foot single‑family home can be built on a vacant Derbyshire Road parcel owned by Living Faith World Ministries.
At the outset of the item, a board member disclosed an affiliation with Living Faith World Ministries and stated he serves as an associate pastor but said he does not participate in the church's financial decisions; the city attorney was consulted and found no conflict that would require disqualification. Separately, Miss Barhu set herself aside for this item. With recusals noted, the motion to approve passed by recorded vote in favor of the variance (5‑0 with recusal), and the applicant said the plan is intended to bring homeownership opportunities to the area.
Next steps: the applicant will pursue site plan and building permits consistent with the granted variance and coordinate required inspections and conditions with city staff.
