Request
A request for 1) a 2 foot variance from the minimum 5 foot side yard setback and 2) a 5 foot variance from the minimum 20 foot rear yard setback, as shown in Table 35-310-1, to allow a building addition 3 feet from the side property line and 15 feet from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in Highland Hills Subdivision, recorded in 1957. The previous plat was vacated in order to widen each of the lots on the block by 10 feet from 62 feet in width to 72 feet wide. The house was built in 1958 according to Bexar County records with an attached garage. It is evident that this attached garage was assimilated into habitable square footage and replaced with a detached garage to the rear. Recently, the owner constructed a patio covering connecting the detached garage to the rear wall of the house. This connection changed the status of the detached garage and triggered a requirement to satisfy minimum setbacks established for primary structures. The only tool available to allow the owner to keep this patio cover is the requested variances.
