Request
A request for A) to waive the 12-month time limitation of Section 35-482(f) of the UDC regarding a subsequent variance application on the property and B) a four foot variance from the ten foot front setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport to be six feet from the front setback.
Executive Summary

The applicant is requesting the variance to allow for the carport to be six feet from the property line. The applicant originally sought a variance to keep the structure as-built, and was considered by the Board of Adjustment on September 18, 2017. At that hearing, the board denied the requests for the setbacks relief, as well as impervious cover limitations. The applicant is now seeking a lesser variance than that originally sought. The overhang of the as-built carport will be trimmed back one and a half feet to be in-line with the front support posts. This modification will result in the carport being six feet from the front property line. The east side of the as-built carport overhang will also be reduced back to be in alignment with the side of the house, which is three feet away from the property line. The applicant will also remove at least 140 square feet of the as-built driveway to reduce the impervious cover and come into compliance. The carport was built to allow additional off-street parking for safety due to high traffic volumes on West Olmos Drive.
