Request
A request for a 4' 11" variance from the 5' minimum rear setback, as described in Section 35-370, to allow a detached accessory structure to be 1" from the rear property line.

Executive Summary

The subject property is located near the corner of East Lullwood Avenue and McCullough Avenue. There is currently a residential structure constructed on the property and accessory structure in the rear yard. The applicant is proposing to renovate the structure in the rear and convert it into a detached accessory dwelling unit. It was previously considered a non-conforming structure, as it does not abide by the minimum rear setback requirement. Since the applicant is needing to pull residential building permits in order to renovate the structure into livable space, a variance is needed as the structure is currently 1" from the rear property line.

Code Enforcement History
There are no relevant or active Code Enforcement cases open in relation to the subject property.

Permit History
Minor Building Permits were found in relation to the subject property from early 2021.

Zoning History
The subject property was part of the Original San Antonio City Limits and was originally zoned "D" Apartment District. Upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code, the zoning converted from "D" to "MF-33" Multi-Family District. The zoning changed from "MF-33" to the current "RM-4" Mixed Residential District on June 6, 2019, established by Ordinance 2019-06-06-0464.
