Request
A request for a ten foot variance from the 20 foot rear building setback line as shown on Table 35-310-1 to allow a single family home to be built ten feet from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is a 2,000 square foot lot in the Zarzamora Place Subdivision, recorded in 1925. The lot is measured 25 feet wide by 80 feet deep. It is the first residentially zoned lot off Zarzamora, 150 feet from the corner. The previous two owners have been Bexar County, indicating that it has been repossessed for back taxes.
The property is currently zoned "MF-33" Multi-Family Residential, but single family homes constructed in this zone are required to meet the minimum setbacks for an "R-4" Residential zoning district. The current owner submitted building permit plans to build a 15 foot wide residential home on the lot, with the minimum 10 foot front setback and the minimum 20 foot rear setback. However the off-street parking stall could not be approved as shown, parallel to the street in the front yard. The applicant is requesting approval to reduce the rear yard setback so that the parking stall can be oriented perpendicular to the street as required. With this design solution, the project would also comply with the limitation of 50% impervious coverage within the front yard, another standard violated by the original design.
