Request
A request for 1) a two (2) foot variance from the five (5) foot side setback to allow an accessory dwelling three (3) feet from side property line; and 2) a 240 square foot variance from provision that an accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 40% of the building footprint of the principal residence, all described in Section 35-371 (b), to allow 750 square foot accessory dwelling.
Executive Summary
The applicant is constructing an accessory dwelling in the rear yard that is proposed to be in the side setback and exceeds the maximum square footage allowed for an accessory detached dwelling unit (ADDU). The accessory unit is currently a 340 square foot detached garage that has been in the same configuration since 1940, being three feet from the side property line, according to BCAD. The applicant wishes to adaptively reuse the garage and add rooms to the unit for additional living space. The primary dwelling currently has a building foot print of 1,275 square feet. 40% of the primary dwelling is 510 square feet. The proposed accessory dwelling is 750 square feet, which is 240 square feet larger than what's allowed, thus the request for the second variance.
