BOZA recap: ADU variance approved; Walnut Street case continued; staff notes formstack and packet issues

The Board of Zoning Adjustment handled two substantive land-use items in a multi-hour virtual meeting. The board approved BOZ2026-00005, a 126-square-foot building-coverage variance to allow a 477-square-foot detached ADU on a substandard R-1 lot (staff recorded the lot at about 6,227.9 sq ft). Later the board continued BOZ2026-00006 (2013 Walnut Street), a request to convert a historic detached structure into a principal dwelling that requires four separate setback variances, asking the applicants to return within 180 days with targeted evidence addressing specific variance criteria.
