STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Comments
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 5420 Centerwood Road has frontage on three
(3) streets; Wildwood (side), Centerwood (front) and " O" Street (rear). It is classified
as a double frontage lot. The applicants are requesting approval of a variance to
allow for construction of a 10 foot by 12 foot storage building at the rear of the
property, adjacent to the "O" Street perimeter.
Section 36-156 of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires accessory buildings in
residential zones to have a setback of at least 60 feet from the front property line.
For double frontage lots, the setback requirement applies to both frontages.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Apparently, there has been a smaller
storage building in this location for some time. The building is virtually hidden from
view from "O" Street by dense vegetation along the perimeter of the site. "O" Street
functions much like an alley along the rear of the properties which front onto
Centerwood. Most of the properties along Centerwood have accessory structures
at the rear of their lots, adjacent to "O" Street. There are no residential properties
across " O" Street which face onto " O" Street. An elementary school campus
occupies the block across from this property. The couple of residences on " O" Street
to the northeast front to the side streets.

C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested setback variance, subject to the
accessory building being set back enough from the property line so that the
overhang does not extend into the "O" Street right-of-way.
