Request
A request for a variance from the Mahncke Park Neighborhood Conservation District design guideline that limits single-family dwellings to two stories in height to allow for three stories.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 546 Pershing Avenue, approximately 1,400 feet east of North New Braunfels Avenue. The applicant is proposing to build two single-family homes on the subject property, one behind the other, and is seeking a variance to allow those homes to be three stories tall, a total of 39'8" tall, whereas the Neighborhood Conservation District restricts the height of single-family development to a maximum of two stories at a maximum of 35 feet.
The Neighborhood Conservation District was created in 2008 to address neighborhood stability through compatible infill construction and rehabilitation within this unique neighborhood. Much of the neighborhood, especially the portion located on the western side of New Braunfels Avenue, consists of craftsman style homes. The East side of Pershing Avenue consists of homes with a variety of architectural styles, although no other homes along Pershing Avenue are three stories tall. On the north side of Pershing Avenue sits the San Antonio Country Club, which is buffered by tall landscaping.
The Mahncke Park Neighborhood Conservation District is currently being updated in response to a Council Consideration Request (CCR) submitted by former District 2 Councilman Alan Warrick. It is possible that, through the NCD update process, the height limitations could be modified.
