STAFF REPORT
Staff Update:
Staff has worked with the applicant and determined that a reduced front setback for the
porch addition can be approved at staff level. This is based on the fact that at least 40
percent (45 percent) of the existing houses within this block face have front setbacks of
less than 25 feet. The average of these front setbacks were used to determine the front
setback for the applicant's porch. Therefore, the applicant is requesting that the
application be withdrawn. Staff supports the withdrawal request.
