Applicant asks to place RV shed 25 feet from front lot line, says 50‑foot requirement would not fit 41‑ft vehicle
Summary
Applicant Maria Concepcion asked for a 25‑foot front‑yard setback for an accessory structure to house a 41‑foot RV, saying the 50‑foot requirement would leave only an 18‑foot structure; county staff summarized setback rules for RSC‑6 zoning and answered questions about side and rear setbacks.
Logan McKay, a development‑services planner, said the RSC‑6 front setback for accessory structures in the cited code sections requires a 50‑foot setback for structures intended to store recreational vehicles; the applicant requested a 25‑foot variance, reducing the front setback to 25 feet.
Maria Concepcion described owning a 41‑foot 2023 Entegra Reatta XL and showed an aerial and survey indicating an existing garage and septic constraints that she says limit where a new RV structure can be placed. She told the hearing officer that a 50‑foot setback would produce an 18‑foot shed insufficient for the vehicle, and that on‑lot constraints and existing family occupancy of the house’s garage make the proposed location the only feasible option. The officer asked whether the applicant had considered rebuilding or placing the RV on adjacent lots; Concepcion said neighboring garages are too short and that joining lots is time‑consuming.
No members of the public spoke in support or opposition. County staff clarified applicable side‑yard (3' to 7.5' depending on height) and rear‑yard standards; Concepcion said she would reduce the proposed shed depth from 44 to 40 feet if needed and requested the variance be approved.
The hearing officer closed the record for this item; he did not announce a ruling in the hearing.
