Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 5321 Centerwood Road is occupied by a two-
story brick and frame single family residence. A one -car wide driveway from
Centerwood Road is located at the northeast corner of the lot. The driveway extends
along the east side of the residence to a carport (accessory structure) in the rear
yard area. There is a patio area between the house and the accessory carport
structure.
The applicant proposes to cover the existing patio area with a flat roof. The roof
cover will extend to the accessory carport structure, but will not be attached to the
carport. The proposed flat roof over the patio area will be approximately four (4) feet
higher than the carport roof. The proposed covered patio area will be unenclosed
on its east and west sides.
Section 36-156(a)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum separation
of six (6) feet between a principal structure and an accessory structure in residential
zoning. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the covered patio
addition to the principal structure with no separation from the accessory carport
structure.

ITEM NO.: 2 (CON'T.) Z-9424
Staff is supportive of the requested separation variance. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The applicant simply requests to cover an existing patio area between
the house and accessory carport structure. The proposed roof cover will be located
17 feet back from the east side property line and 38 feet from the west side property
line. There will be no other changes to the principal or accessory structures. The
proposed patio roof addition will be located within an interior portion of the rear yard
area and will have very little visibility from the adjacent properties. The proposed
covered patio with reduced separation from the accessory structure should have no
adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance for reduced building
separation, as filed.
