Request
A request for a variance from the Beacon Hill Neighborhood Conservation District design standard that restricts reducing the size of a front porch to allow for the enclosure of a portion of the front porch.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 1101 West Russell Place on the corner of Blanco Road and West Russell Place within the Beacon Hill Neighborhood Conservation District. The applicant partially enclosed an existing front porch to increase living space and is seeking a variance to allow that renovation to remain. The NCD guideline is intended to ensure that homes within the community retain a large front porch, which is characteristic of many homes in the neighborhood. Although the NCD restricts the ability of homeowners to reduce the front porch size, the Board should note that new construction requires only 30 percent of the street fa?ade. As such, if the construction were new, the current design would meet the NCD requirement.
