Request
A request for a 19.55 foot variance from the required 31.19 foot median blockface front setback, as described in the Mahncke Park Neighborhood Conservation District design guidelines, to allow a new residential unit to be 11.64 feet from the property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 434 Pershing Avenue, approximately 450 feet East of North New Braunfels Avenue. The applicant is building a single-family home on the subject property, and seeking a variance to allow the house to be 11.64 feet from the front property line. The subject property is located within the Mahncke Park Neighborhood Conservation District, which requires that the front setback meet the median setback along the blockface. The applicant applied for a building permit on October 30, 2017. Development Services Department found the proposed project to be in compliance and issued a building permit for construction of the home on November 29, 2017. Both the Plan Review Section and the Zoning Section reviewed the proposed project, and both missed the front setback requirement. Later, staff received a complaint about the project and immediately verified if the project was out of compliance. During this review, it was determined that the front setback is out of compliance with the Neighborhood Conservation District design requirements. By the time staff identified the error, the foundation had been poured, framing completed, as well as some plumbing work.
