Request
A request for a 361.80 square foot variance from the maximum 619.20 square foot maximum accessory dwelling unit size, as described in Section 35-371(b), to allow an accessory dwelling unit to be 981 square feet in size.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 190 Beethoven Street, approximately 50 feet north of Chickering Drive. The applicant wants to add a second story accessory dwelling unit to the top of an existing garage. The Unified Development Code allows single-family residential districts to have an accessory dwelling unit, limited in size. Accessory dwelling units may be 40 percent the size of the primary home, not to exceed 800 square feet. Because covered patios are included as living space, the main home on the property is 1,548 square feet in area, per BCAD records.
1,543 x 0.40 = 619.20 - The allowed ADU size.
981.00 - The proposed ADU size.
361.80 - The variance needed to allow for the project.
The Unified Development Code provides for accessory dwelling units as a means of assisting families with maintaining their homes by securing rental income, while at the same time providing affordable housing for the elderly, single-person households, students, and other needy populations, per the Statement of Purpose.
