Site Context and Detail
Residential Single Family (RS-1) Zoning
Located mid-block with similar size homes on similar
size lots
Lot is 80.65 feet wide by 93 feet deep
Proposed Addition
Proposed Plan
Request to construct an addition (garage/carport) which will look like a garage
from the front and side but open in the back.
Addition would encroach in the required side yard setback.
Need for a Variance
Section 24-105 (e)
requires 7.5 foot side
yard setback on each
side
The proposed addition
would encroach 2.5’
into the required
setback leaving a 5 foot
side yard
7.5’ required
5’ proposed
Proposed Addition
Analysis and Concerns
Purpose of the variance “large tree in front does not allow a
wider drive and addition will not give space for a 2 car
carport, it will give enough space for extra storage.”
Property as 15.3 feet of buildable area on the east side
(width)
