Request
A request for a 3.5 foot variance from the minimum 5 foot side setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a new carport 1.5 feet from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 1415 West Hollywood Avenue approximately 230 feet east of Piedmont Avenue. The applicant began construction of the carport and was cited by code. The carport is made largely of wood and is presently located 1.5 feet from the side property line and 3 feet from adjacent structures. The applicant is requesting to keep the carport in order to park two cars, side-by-side, and provide shade for the home. The carport, as it stands now, increases the risk of fire and water runoff for the adjacent property. In addition, there is limited room for maintenance without trespass. A reduction in the width of the carport, to respect the setbacks, would provide the applicant room to park two cars, one behind the other, and provide shade for the home. If the variance is approved the applicant will have to meet fire standards.
