Request
A request for 1) a 12 foot variance from the maximum driveway width, as described in the Alta Vista Neighborhood Conversation District Residential Design Standards, to allow 24 foot wide driveways; 2) a variance from the lot limitation of 1 driveway, as described in the Alta Vista Neighborhood Conversation District Residential Design Standards, to allow 2 driveways; 3) a variance from the requirement that multi-family parking be located in the rear yard, as described in the Alta Vista Neighborhood Conversation District Residential Design Standards, to allow parking in the front yard; and 4) a 5 foot variance from the maximum 3 foot solid screen, as described in Section 35.314 (d), fence to allow an 8 foot fence in a portion of the front yard.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at West Elsmere Place approximately 215 feet west of North Flores Street and approximately 90 feet from railroad ROW. The applicant is the owner of a multi-family residence. The property has recently been updated to accommodate parking for a multi-family residence. However, due to a median in the street, only a portion of the parking area is accessible to the residents. The requested variances 1, 2, & 3 will allow for full use of the current parking area located in the front of the home to remain. Lastly, in an effort to provide more privacy and a sound barrier for residents, the applicant erected an 8 foot fence on a portion of the front yard.
