6111 Kavanaugh Blvd.
Lot 130, McMillen's Replat
R-2
A variance is requested from
the area regulations of Section
36-254 to permit construction of
an addition with a reduced rear
yard setback.
The lot is very irregularly shaped,
with shallow side lot lines. The
existing house has a front yard
setback well in excess of the
required 25 feet, pushing the home
more toward the rear yard.

The R-2 zoned property at 6111 Kavanaugh Blvd. is occupied
by a one-story, rock and frame, single family residence.
The owners propose to expand the home by adding onto the
rear of the structure. One of the proposed additions will
result in a rear yard setback of 20 feet. The Code requires
a rear yard setback of 25 feet for this lot.
Staff is supportive -of the requested variance. The lot is
unusually shaped, with shallow side lot lines ending at an

arced rear lot line. Only a small corner of the proposed
addition extends into the required rear yard setback. The
remainder of the house exceeds all required setbacks. The
house has a front yard setback of 48 feet, well beyond the
25 foot front yard setback requirement. Since the house has
been pushed back 23 feet beyond the front setback
requirement, it has reduced the available rear yard area.
Staff does not believe that allowing this minor rear yard
setback variance will negatively impact adjacent properties.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback
variance.
