ITEM NO.: 7 Z-10093
The applicant is proposing to enlarge the existing carport and add storage space.
The new carport addition will have a width of 19.7 feet, and a depth of 23.38 feet. The
north corner of the carport will be 1.3 feet from the side (north) property line.
Section 36-254(d)(2) states “There shall be a side yard setback 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 a reduction of the
side yard setback to no less than 1.3 feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the request as reasonable
and believes it is generally in conformance with the development pattern in the
neighborhood and nearby area, nor should it have an adverse impact on the
surrounding properties.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback to no more than 1.3
feet, subject to the following conditions:
1. Obtain a building permit prior to construction.
