Planning board unanimously approves front‑setback variance at 2 Valencia Street
Summary
The board approved a front‑setback variance for a house at 2 Valencia Street (project 2026060040), finding the lot’s proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway and reduced buildable area created an unnecessary hardship.
Flagler County staff presented a variance request for a single‑family dwelling at 2 Valencia Street (project 2026060040), describing a corner lot constrained by the Intracoastal Waterway that leaves the rear 40 feet unbuildable. Staff explained the lot of record is substantially smaller than the R‑1 district minimum and recommended that the board find the variance criteria were met.
Board members discussed site specifics (front and street‑side setbacks) and confirmed the narrowness caused by waterline encroachment. A motion to approve carried unanimously. Staff noted the order will be entered in the record and the applicant may move forward with permitting under the approved relief.
