Zoning Board Approves Variances for Rear Setback and Parking at 205 South Coastal Highway

The Zoning Board of Appeals considered a variance application for a property located at 205 South Coastal Highway, zoned C1. The application sought a reduction in the rear building setback from 20 feet to 10 feet to accommodate an expansion of the existing building into a multi-use structure with retail, restaurant, and studio apartments. Additionally, a variance was requested to reduce the minimum required number of parking spaces from 22 to 14. The board ultimately approved both variances: the setback variance unanimously (3-0) and the parking variance (3-0) for 14 spaces, after an amendment to reduce it to 11 spaces failed due to lack of a second.
