D. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 4609 Glen Valley Drive is currently occupied by a one-story single-family residence with an existing wood frame deck across the east portion of the
residence in the rear yard.
The applicant is proposing to remove the existing deck and construct a covered concrete porch structure along the east (rear) portion of the primary residence. The site plan indicates
that the structure is to extend into the rear yard along the east side of the residence into the rear yard setback 2’-3”-feet reducing the setback to less than 23-feet.
Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear yard setback of 25-feet for principal structures in R-2 zoning. 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 22’-9”.
Staff is supportive of the requested rear yard setback and covered patio structure extension
variance. Staff finds the request to generally be in conformance with the development
pattern in the neighborhood and nearby area.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear setback variance, subject to the descriptions and any conditions in the “staff analysis”, and the following conditions:
A building permit being obtained for all construction.
