ITEM NO.: 4 CON'T. Z-9736
The applicant is proposing to construct a 390 square foot carport that will be
connected along the north side of the residence. The carport will be accessed by a
concrete driveway along Kenyon Street and will be 0.3 to one (1) foot from the street
side (north) property line.
Section 36-254(d)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum side yard
setback of five (5) feet for the principal structure on this R-2 zoned lot. Therefore the
applicant is requesting a variance to allow the covered carport attached to the
principal structure with reduced side yard setback of 3 feet.
The proposed additions have been reviewed and comply with the Hilicrest Design
Overlay District requirements.
Staff is supportive of the requested side yard setback variance. Staff views the
request as reasonable. The covered porch along the north side and in the rear of
the residence is allowed by right as they comply with the minimum required side and
rear yard setbacks. Staff views the variance as very minor in nature and feels the
reduced side yard setback will have no adverse impact on the surrounding
properties.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval/denial of the requested side yard setback variance,
subject to the descriptions and any conditions in the "staff analysis", and the
following conditions:
1. A building permit being obtained for all construction.
2. The carport addition must remain unenclosed on its north, east and west
sides.
