Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The 0-1 zoned property at 2108 Lloyd Court is occupied by a one-story frame
single family residence. The property is located on the north side of Lloyd Court
and backs up to North Street. North Street is a paved roadway which essentially
functions as an alley, running from N. Summit Street to N. Park Street. The east
half of North Street is narrow, having a width for one (1) vehicle. The west portion
has a two (2) car width. The subject lot slopes upward from front to back (south to
north). The lot has a zoning of 0-1, with the surrounding residential lots being
zoned R-3.

DECEMBER 15, 2014
ITEM NO.: 8 ICON'T.l
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The proposed accessory carport structure will not be out of character
with other properties in this neighborhood. There are several other accessory
structures located along the south side of North Street between N. Summit and N.
Park Streets. Additionally, accessory structures are located along the north/south
alley to the north. As noted previously, North Street essentially functions as an
alley. None of the residences along the north or south sides of North Street have a
front yard relation to the roadway. Staff believes the proposed carport with
reduced rear setback will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or
general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear setback variance, subject to the
carport structure remaining unenclosed on all sides.
