Zoning Decisions This Month

Non-administrative variance to reduce rear yard setback (VAR 2026-001)

Denied.

Applicant Mike Starock requested a non-administrative variance to reduce the rear yard setback from 10 feet to 2 feet to construct a storage structure with a caretaker unit in an industrial zone in Douglas. The parcel borders Lemon Creek and an unbuildable mining claim parcel. Commissioner Cole moved to deny, finding the request did not meet the definitional standard of an undue hardship. Motion to deny passed on a roll-call vote (yes votes to deny: Salek, Simon, Mantella, Cole, Durr; no votes: Corona, Gamas, Wiebold, Peterson).
