Applicant:
David Malley
Owner:
Malley Enterprises, Inc.
Council District:|1313|Location:

Legal Description:
Lot 5, Block 2, NCB 609
Zoning:
"RM-4 AHOD" Residential Mixed Airport Hazard Overlay District
Prepared By:

Request
The applicant is requesting a special exception in accordance with UDC 35-399.03 to allow the relocation of a residential building from 314 Jim Street to a lot zoned for single family use, located at 118 Kansas Street.
Executive Summary
The subject property is a vacant lot, located in the Alamodome Gardens area. The average age of the houses on the block is 73 years old, with the oldest house built in 1900. The block is in transition, with some of the houses having recent investment and others still waiting. Its proximity to downtown though would seem to indicate an increase in value. The applicant already owns 2 other houses in the area and has remodeled them for commercial reuse.
The parcel is 50 feet in width, wide enough to locate the 30 foot wide home with a 10 foot setback on each side. The applicant has hired Edgar Dodson to relocate the house, which will likely be placed slightly off-center to allow a wider side setback for the new driveway. The house will be brought up to current building codes as a condition of its relocation. In addition, the applicant is intending to construct a front porch on the house after it is in its new location.
