La Paz County board to hear Parker setback request for room addition
A Parker homeowner wants a 3-foot side-yard setback for a room addition at 31613 Horizon Blvd. The Board of Adjustment will hear the variance July 16 at 4 p.m.
La Paz County’s Board of Adjustment will hear Francisco Salcedo’s request for a smaller side-yard buffer around a room addition at 31613 Horizon Blvd. in Parker, a case that could determine how close the project may sit to the property line and how much space neighboring parcels keep for privacy and access.
The hearing is set for 4 p.m. July 16 in the Board of Supervisors Meeting Room at 1108 Joshua Ave. in Parker. Under Docket No. V2026-13, Salcedo, the owner of APN 311-63-198, is asking for a 3-foot right side yard setback instead of the 5-foot setback normally required for the future room addition.
The county’s Board of Adjustment and Appeals is the body that interprets the zoning ordinance and can grant variances. That puts the request squarely under La Paz County’s zoning regulations, which list development standards and setbacks as part of the land-use rules governing additions and new construction.
The notice was posted July 8 at or before 5:30 p.m. at the La Paz County Board of Supervisors Office, giving the public advance notice before the hearing. County variance application materials say notices are mailed to surrounding properties within 300 feet of the parcel, and requests are reviewed within 30 calendar days or at the next scheduled hearing on the public meeting calendar.
The agenda also includes approval of the May 14, 2026 Board of Adjustment minutes, a call to the public and adjournment. Those steps matter because the hearing is the point at which residents can raise concerns before the board acts on the request.
If the board grants the variance, Salcedo would be able to move ahead with a room addition that sits closer to the lot line than the standard rule allows. If it denies the request, the project would need to be redesigned or pursued under other options. Either way, the decision could shape how the county handles similar setback requests for Parker homes, where small changes in lot lines can affect what neighbors see, how much room is left for maintenance, and how closely new construction presses against adjoining property.
