Mr. B. L. Perkins, Jr.
Chairman - Board of Adjustment
City of Sanford, Florida
Re: Density Provisions - Square Footage Variance
Dear Mr. Perkins:
I have been requested, as attorney for the City of
Sanford, to give an opinion relative to the density
provisions of the zoning ordinance relative to the
question of variance as to the square footage of
dwelling units.
Section 6 of Article X of the zoning ordinance pro-
vides that variance may be granted on density control
requirements only. The question as arisen as to
whether or not the matter of square footage is con -
• templated by the density control requirements.
After considering the definition of "variance" as
set forth in Section 65 of Article II, Section 6 of
Article X, and the general provisions and intent
of the question as to variance in general, I am of
the opinion that the Board of Adjustment has the
discretion to grant a variance as to square footage
of a dwelling unit.
Very truly yours,
CLEVELAND, MIZE & BRIDGES
C. Vernon Mize, Jr.
