Request
A request for a four foot variance from the minimum five foot side yard setback, as described in Table 35-310-1, to allow a metal staircase to be one foot from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant has submitted construction plans for a second story addition to a detached garage adding an accessory dwelling unit. The property is located in the Monte Vista Historic District and as such has been reviewed and approved by the Historic Design and Review Commission (HDRC). Originally, the plans were approved with a metal staircase on the interior of the lot but more recently went back through HDRC review to approve the proposed alternative location along the property line. A variance is required to locate the staircase inside the minimum 5 foot setback.
According to the applicant, the interior yard area measures 20 feet by 30 feet and locating the staircase on the interior reduces the useable outdoor living space by 10% (60 feet). The applicant explains that the use is for family purposes rather than rental as their college age children and out-of-state family members regularly visit.
