Garner’s Board of Adjustment is scheduled to hold a public hearing on September 25 to consider a variance request for the property at 520 Powell Drive. Bert Fox of Catalyst Designs, PLLC, is requesting approval to create two flag lots within a proposed six-lot major subdivision. The request seeks an exception to the Residential 4 (R4) district ordinance, which requires a minimum lot width of 60 feet, as outlined in “Figure 5.6-C: Standards for Front-loaded Single-Family Detached and Duplexes” in the Town of Garner Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), according to the official announcement.
The case, numbered VAR-25-002, shakes hands with the larger question of suburban space, taking its shape alongside major subdivision permit SB-24-002, previously submitted to mold the future of 520 Powell Drive, identified by Wake County PIN 1711645806, these particulars revealed in a public notice hosted on Garner’s official website; the request seeks a modification of existing regulations by reducing the minimum lot width for single-family dwellings within the R4 zoning district.
Residents and interested parties are invited to attend the public hearing at the Council Chambers of Garner Town Hall, located at 900 7th Avenue. The Board of Adjustment will begin the session at 7 p.m., providing an opportunity for public input on the proposed variance. The meeting will offer space for community members to share feedback that may influence future development and zoning decisions…
