Request
A request for a 5.5 foot variance from the minimum 20 foot rear setback, as described in Table 35-310, to allow a rear addition 14.5 feet from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in the southwest corner of the City near Spicewood Park, west of the Poteet Jourdanton Freeway. The Palo Alto Village Plat was recorded in 2004, creating the 5,000 square foot lot and the 1,200 square foot house was constructed in 2007. The applicant is seeking to complete a 232 square foot addition to the rear of the home. The applicant got approval from CPS to encroach six feet into the 20 foot rear utility easement, but did not realize the property also required a 20 foot zoning setback. Now the applicant is seeking a variance to allow the addition to remain and be completed. Work was stopped by Code Enforcement in March for construction without a permit. The owner applied for a permit and submitted the documentation, including the CPS approval, but the permit could not be issued, because of the setback encroachment, requiring the variance.
