Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 812 West Russell Place, 128 feet west of North Flores Street. The applicant wishes to demolish an existing carport in the rear yard and is wishing to build a new, two-story carport/accessory dwelling unit in the same footprint. Per BCAD, the carport was built in 1992, and has remained in the same configuration, since. The applicant is seeking permission to build the two story structure one foot from the west and south property lines, but meets the opposite side setback. The proposed accessory dwelling unit meets the required size limitations. Further, there is no expressed interest in deviating from the Alta Vista Neighborhood Conservation District design standards.
