3211 Imperial Valley Drive
Lot 14, Block 31, Pleasant Valley Addition
1W
A variance is requested from the area
provisions of Section 36-254 to allow a
carport addition with a reduced rear yard
setback.
The applicant's justification is presented in
an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The property at 3211 Imperial Valley Drive is occupied by a two-story rock
and frame single family residence. The house is located approximately 33
feet back from the front property line. The lot contains a 25 foot platted
front building line. An existing driveway at the southwest corner of the
property serves as access.
The applicant proposes to construct a 20 foot by 34 foot carport addition,
with a 10 foot by 13 foot storage addition, at the southeast corner of the
residential structure. The proposed addition will be located approximately
16 feet from the rear (east) property line. Section 36-254(d)(3) of the
City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet
in R-2 zoning. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance from this
requirement.

No.: 7 (Cont.
Staff is supportive of the requested rear yard setback variance. As noted
previously, the single family structure is located 33 feet back from the front
property line. If the structure were located on the 25 foot building line, the
rear yard setback would not be an issue. Additionally, the property backs
up to Central Arkansas Water's Jack Wilson water treatment plant (east).
There wi * 11 be no further single family development to the east. Therefore,
staff feels that the reduced rear yard setback will have no adverse impact
on the adjacent properties. The side yard setbacks proposed for the
carport structure far exceed the minimum requirement of 8 feet.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval 9f the variance to allow a reduced rear yard
setback subject to a building permit being obtained for the construction.
