Executive Summary
The subject property is located at Marceline Drive, North of San Antonio International Airport and within the Arbor, unit 4 subdivision. The entire neighborhood is characterized by zero lot line dwelling units with a 2' overhang into the adjacent properties. In 1979 the recorded plat included notes that referenced "Townhome Development". This note allowed for townhouses to be built at the zero lot line. Townhomes are defined as a minimum of 3 attached structures. The neighborhood was built in the 1980s as single family detached structures, generally built to zero lot line. Permits were issued allowing for the development.
The current UDC rules require side setbacks of 5 feet, unless the subdivision is platted as a zero lot line development for all housing types. As this plat only allows zero lot line development for townhomes, detached single family would requires 5 foot side setbacks.
The applicant is requesting the reconstruction of a covered rear patio to encroach into the required side setback and to be 1" away from the side property line. The subject patio appears to be a replacement to a previously exiting patio that was built in line with the primary residence on the property line.
