D. Staff Analysis:
The R-3 zoned property located at 4223 West 19th Street is a 0.09-acre vacant lot. It is located at the corner of West 19th Street and Abigail Street. The applicant proposes
to construct a new residential dwelling on the lot.
The site plan indicates the lot to be 50 feet from east to west and 80-feet from north to south, with a 5-foot utility easement on all four boarders.
The applicant proposes to locate the new dwelling toward the south allowing a 25.6 foot front (north) setback and reducing the rear (south) yard setback to no less than 6-foot.
Section 36-255(d)(3) states “There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of not less than twenty-five 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 variance. Staff views the request as reasonable, given the below average lot size, and the location of the utility easement which leaves a reduced
buildable area
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance, subject to the descriptions and any conditions in the “staff analysis”, and the following conditions:
A building permit being obtained for all construction.
