Single Family Residential

and frame single family residence. The property is located on the west side of N.

ITEM NO.: 3 (CON'T.) _ _ Z -8920-A
Section 36-254(d)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires minimum side
setbacks of 6.2 feet for this R-2 zoned lot. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a
variance to allow the side setbacks of 5.42 to 5.49 feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance to allow reduced side setbacks for the
proposed single family residence. Staff views the request as reasonable. The
proposed side setbacks of 5.42 to 5.49 feet will not be out of character with this
overall neighborhood. There are a number of 50 foot wide lots in this neighborhood
with five (5) foot side setbacks being very common. All other proposed building
setbacks will conform to ordinance requirements. Staff believes the proposed
residence with reduced side setbacks will have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance to allow reduced side
setbacks, as filed.
