Request
A request for the elimination of the five foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport that is attached to a home to remain on the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 620 W Harlan Avenue approximately 227 feet west of Bodie Street. The applicant constructed a carport without a building permit on the side property line. The carport is made entirely of metal and, thus, does not pose a fire risk. Adjacent to the structure, on the neighboring property, is a large driveway and parking area for the adjacent home. As such, despite being located on the side property line, the carport remains 35 feet from the closest structure.
