Section 36-254(d)(2) states “There shall be a side yard set-back on each side of
the building having a width of not less than ten (10) percent of the average width
of the lot, not to exceed eight (8) feet.” Therefore, the applicant is requesting a
variance to allow the extension of the primary structure into the side yard setback
reducing the setback to no less than 6-feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested variances. Staff views the requests as
reasonable. The reduction of the side yard for the carport 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”.
