Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 4422 Commercial Avenue. Currently, the subject property has one attached carport on the side of the primary dwelling, which encroaches into the five foot side setback on the side property line. The applicant wishes to extend the existing carport five feet from the front property line. In addition to this, the applicant wishes to construct a new carport on the opposite side of the home, which is also five feet from the front property line and on the side property line. During field visits, staff also noticed that the property has both predominantly open and solid fencing within the front of the property that exceeds the permitted five foot predominately open and three foot solid fence screening. Lastly, portions of fencing along the side of the existing carport are constructed of corrugated metal, which is a prohibited fencing material, per the Unified Development Code.
