Applicant:
Roberto Gallardo
Owner:
Roberto Gallardo
Council District:|1313|Location:
4939 Fortuna Street
Legal Description:
Lot 20, Block 4, NCB 7444
Zoning:
"R-4 AHOD" Residential Single-Family Airport Hazard Overlay District
Prepared By:
Logan Sparrow, Planner
Request
A request for 1) a four and a half foot variance from the five foot side setback requirement, as detailed in Table 35-310-1, to allow a carport with an eave overhang that is six inches from the side property line and 2) a seven foot variance from the ten foot front setback requirement, as detailed in Table 35-310-1, to allow the carport three feet from front property line and 3) a one foot variance from the four foot predominately open front yard fence height as described in Section 35-514 (d) to allow a five foot tall wrought iron fence in the front yard of the property.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 4939 Fortuna Drive, approximately 100 feet east of Fortuna Place. The applicant constructed a wood carport, without a permit, and the eave overhang is located within six inches of the side property line. As the carport is attached to the dwelling, it also has to comply with the ten foot front building setback line triggered by the "R-5" Residential Single-Family base zoning district. Lastly, the applicant constructed a five foot tall wrought-iron fence in the front yard of the property. As such, this requires a one foot variance from the four foot height limitation to remain. A total of three variances are requested.
