D. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 2407 North Pierce Street is occupied by a newly
constructed two-story single-family dwelling located northeast of the “V” Street and
North Pierce Street intersection.
The applicant is proposing to reconfigure the layout of the dwelling and enlarge the
connection between the primary structure and the garage structure. The sketch
provided indicates that this modification will connect the garage structure roof with
the primary structure. The addition and extend the primary structure 40-feet in the
rear yard and cross the 25-foot setback line 22-feet.
Section 36-254(d)(3) states “There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of
not less than twenty-five (25) feet. “Therefore, the applicant requests a variance to
allow the extension of the primary structure into the rear yard setback reducing the
setback to no less than 3-feet.
Staff finds the request to generally be in conformance with the development pattern in the Heights neighborhood and nearby area. Based on the above assessment and analysis, staff finds
the requested variance to be reasonable.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback reduction from
twenty-five (25) feet to a minimum of 3-feet as outlined in the above staff analysis
and on the attached sketch.
