ITEM NO.: 3: CON'T. Z 9942
Section 36-254 (d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear
building setback of 25 feet for structures in R-2 zoning. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting a variance to allow a reduced rear building setback for the covered patio
structure. All other setbacks will conform with ordinance standards.
Staff is supportive of the requested reduced rear setback. Staff views the requests
as reasonable. The proposed unenclosed patio area should have no adverse impact
on the surrounding properties.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear setback variance, subject to the
patio area remaining unenclosed.
