ZBA reconsiders ordinance section, applies LUO 403 instead of LUO 202
Summary
The board reviewed whether LUO 202 or LUO 403 applied to the Washington General Store setback and at its 7/29/26 meeting unanimously selected LUO 403, affecting which setback baseline governed the variance.
The ZBA's record explains members initially considered the applicant's request under LUO 202 (a 30-foot sideline setback) and noted that as a commercial building the minimum allowed setback might be 50 feet. At the July 29, 2026 meeting the board reconsidered and unanimously agreed that LUO 403, not LUO 202, should govern the matter—leading the notice to cite LUO 403.1 in the granted variance.
The record shows the board's change in interpretation was part of its deliberation and was recorded in the Findings of Fact; the notice does not include the vote tally for the procedural determination but records unanimous agreement on the applicable section.
