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 is requesting a variance
to allow the extension of the primary structure into the rear yard setback reducing
the setback to no less than 7-feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested variances. Staff views the requests as
reasonable. The reduction of the rear yard area for the covered patio and garage
structure is similar to development patterns in the area. Staff believes that the
requested variance will have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance, subject to the descriptions
and any conditions in the “staff analysis”.
