B. Staff Analysis_
The R-2 zoned property at 1901 N. Tyler Street is currently vacant. The
property is located on the east side of Tyler Street, at "R" Street. A single
family home which previously existed on the site was recently removed. Some
site work has taken place and footings have been poured for construction of a
new single family residence. There is a paved alley along the rear (east)
property line.
The applicant proposes to construct a one-story single family residence on the
property, as noted on the attached site plan. The residential structure will be
located 25 feet back from the front property line and five (5) feet from each
side property line. A 13'-6" wide portion of the structure will extend to within
approximately five (5) feet of the rear property line. The rear 22.5 feet of the
structure will be an enclosed single car garage. Access to the garage will be
from the paved alley along the rear property line.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2005
ITEM NO.: 3 (CON'T.
Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear
setback of 25 feet. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow a
reduced rear setback for the residential structure. The proposed front and side
setbacks conform to ordinance standards.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance for a reduced rear setback. Staff
views the request as reasonable. The portion of the home which will extend
into the required rear 25 foot setback area is only 13.5 feet in width, and will be
used as a garage. If the garage area were a detached structure, it could have
zero (0) rear setback based on the fact that there is an alley right-of-way along
the rear property line. Staff feels the proposed home will be compatible with
the neighborhood. Staff believes the residential structure with reduced rear
setback will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general
area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback variance,
subject to a building permit being obtained for the construction.
