Board approves variance for elevated generator at 199 21st Avenue

The St. Pete Beach Board of Adjustment voted to approve variance case 26112, allowing an elevated generator to be installed within the western side-yard setback at 199 21st Avenue. Senior planner Brandon Berry told the board the request seeks a 4-foot setback where 7 feet is required under the land development code; staff recommended approval with two conditions, including limiting future generators to 65 decibels at the receiving property and submission of an approved final survey.
