Request
A request for 1) a 4.5 foot variance from the 10 foot front setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport 5.5 feet from the front setback; 2) a two foot variance to allow an eave overhang one foot from the side property line, as described in Section 35-516 (j); 3) an 11% variance from the limitation of a maximum 50% impervious cover in the front yard, as described in Section 35-515 (d)(1), to allow 61% impervious cover.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting the variances to allow for the completion of carport and a larger paved driveway in the front yard. The amount of paved area in the front yard exceeds the allowed 50% impervious cover, and covers about 61% of the front yard. The carport was constructed over the paved area and sits five and a half feet from the front property line. The carport is also designed with a two foot overhang that is located one foot from the side property line. The posts of the carport are in line with side of the home and measure three feet from the side property line. The carport was built to allow additional off-street parking for safety due to high traffic volumes on West Olmos Drive.
