Request
A request for a four (4) foot variance from the minimum five (5) foot side setback, as described in Section 35-310, to allow an addition to the primary dwelling to be built one (1) foot from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting a variance to construct an addition to the existing single family dwelling unit. The subject property was originally a duplex constructed in 1944 and was constructed with an attached garage, according to BCAD. According to available imagery, the attached garage was constructed on the side property line. The home suffered from fire damage and the owner has since constructed a single-family home to comply with the currently zoning and has built a home addition in place of the attached garage. The new home addition is now one foot away from the property, providing more of a setback than the original garage. As a result of the newly constructed addition within the side setback, the owner was cited by Code Enforcement, unaware that he could not rebuild in the same location.
