Rodriguez/Garcia Horse Barn Variance

Description

Denied a variance for a two-story horse barn built without a permit 11 feet from the property line; the barn can remain as a non-livestock accessory structure but not for horses, and staff cited a self-created hardship.

Impact summary

The County Commission denied it on Jul 14, 2026.

The owners keep the barn as storage but cannot house horses in it without rebuilding to meet livestock setbacks; one commissioner favored approval with a lighting condition.
