Sincerely, Tim Herndon, D velopment Manager MARCH 18, 2021 ITEM NO. 3 File No.: Z-7051-A Owners: Jeff Fuller Homes LLC Applicant: Jeff Fuller Address: 2400 N. Taylor Street Legal Description: Lot 7, Block 32, Parkview Addition Zoned: R-2 Present Use: Vacant Proposed Use: Single-family Residence -705 Variance(s) Requested: A variance is requested from area regulations of Section 36- 254 to allow a reduced rear yard setback in the R-2 district; Justification: The applicant's justification is presented as per the attached letter dated December 20, 2020. STAFF REPORT A. Planni nq and Development Civil En ineerin Comments: No Comments. B. Buffering and Landscape Comments: No Comments. C. Buildinq Codes Comments: In October 2020 the City adopted the "Heights Landscape Design Overlay District," requiring installation of one (1) tree per forty (40) linear feet of street frontage within the Heights District Boundary, applicable to [among other types] residential construction in excess of 600 square feet. D. Staff Analysis: The R-2 zoned property at 2400 N. Taylor Street is located within a predominantly R-2 zoned neighborhood, within the Heights Landscape Design Overlay District. This overlay district generally has no bearing on the subject variance requests. The site was previously occupied by a small one-story single-family home and detached garage/shed accessory building. The lot is on the northwest corner of N. Taylor and V streets and approximately forty-seven (47) feet in width and 148 feet in length. The previous home fronted N. Taylor Street with the accessory structure located behind the residence at the rear of the property and a partial two -car asphalt pad connecting V Street to the structure. MARCH 18, 2021 Z-7051-A ITEM NO. 3 (CO Since the filing of this application the existing structures have been razed and the property cleared. The applicant proposes a new two-story single-family home and attached garage. The new home will expand the footprint of the previous residence from approximately 1400 square feet to a total of 5383 square feet square foot which will include a three -car garage and covered porch. The length of this primary structure will be approximately 112 linear feet and maintain the twenty-five (25) foot front yard setback. However, the proposed length of the addition will expand into the twenty-five (25) foot rear yard setback approximately seventeen (17) feet reducing this required twenty-five (25)-foot width to eight (8) feet. If this were an accessory structure (detached) it would be permitted in the rear yard, with setbacks as narrow as three (3) feet and with no variance. Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear setback of twenty-five (25) feet. The applicant requests a variance to allow the extension of the structure seventeen (17) feet into the rear yard setback. Staff finds the request to generally be in conformance with the development pattern in the Heights neighborhood and nearby area. Based on the above assessment and analysis, staff finds the requested variances to be reasonable. E. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback reduction from twenty-five (25) feet to a minimum of eight (8) feet with the following conditions: 1. Install trees, if deemed applicable at the time of building permitting, in accordance with Heights Landscape Design Overlay District requirements. Board of Adjustment (March 18, 2021) The applicant was present. There were several persons registered in opposition. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "Staff Recommendation" above. Lucy Jackson expressed opposition and presented a petition signed by fourteen (14) of her neighbors. Ms. Jackson stated that the front yard and rear yard setbacks are not characteristic of the neighborhood. Chairman Allison emphasized that the front yard setback was not a variance request in the application. Staff presented a sketch showing the proposed front yard setback in compliance with the current zoning standard in the R- 2 District. Representing the application, Jeff Fuller emphasized the following points: 1) the required right-of-way and front yard setback resulted in a greater setback from the street than many of the houses on North Taylor Street; and 2) attaching the garage was the best option for the rear yard. 2 MARCH 18, 2021 ITEM NO. 3 (CON'T. -7051-A A motion was made to approve the requested rear yard variance as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded. The vote was 5 ayes, 0 noes, and 0 absent. The application was approved. 3 M �� o El � IJD ❑ ❑ ¢� SUBJECT PROPERTY J �] JE- 'zz:I� z t� 00 0 R2 ❑ L-J -� �, N. ...... .
