Board of Zoning Appeals, 657 S.E.2d 153 <br />(Va. 2008) <br /> <br />VIRGINIA (02/29/08)-The Goyonagas owned a residential home <br />in the city. The Goyonagas' home and lot were pre-existing noncon- <br />forming uses. The lot and home predated the zoning ordinance in af- <br />fect at the time of their application for a variance. The lot did not <br />meet size requirements, and the home did not meet setback require- <br />ments, of the zoning ordinance. <br />After receiving a variance from the city to enlarge and extend their <br />home, the Goyonagas began demolition on portions of their home. <br />After initial demolition, the city's building inspector required addi- <br />tional demolition of the exterior walls. More than 75% of the origi- <br />nal structure was demolished. <br /> <br />.'51;~i::~:)~I~it~:~J~t.i~lti~~J~ <br />tll!~I\llf~~~a!j!::~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />'fkerised tc, pr;;ctice lawin a particular jurisgid:lon.
