Executive Summary
On February 21, 2017, City Council rezoned both Lots 36 and 37 from "R-6" Residential Single-Family District to "R-6 CD" Residential Single-Family District with Conditional Use for four dwelling units. The applicant subdivided the property to place two dwelling units on each lot. During the addressing process, it was determined the front fa?ade would front along Bee Street, not Coleman Street. Due to the frontage along Bee Street, a more shallow rear setback was established for the subject property, thus the request for the variance. The "R-6" zoning district requires a 20 foot rear setback and the applicant is proposing a five foot rear setback due to the configuration of the lot. Had the subject property fronted Coleman Street, all setback requirements would be met.
