Request
A request for 1) a 4'11" variance from the required 5' side setback, as described in Section 35-370, to allow a carport to be 1" from the front property line and 2) a 3' variance from the 5' rear setback, also described in Section 35-370, to allow a carport to be 2' away from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 8011 North New Braunfels, approximately 289' north of Nacogdoches Road. Code Enforcement initiated this case February 9, 2018 due to setback violations. The applicant is requesting to keep the commercial apartment complex carport, built without permits, within the side and rear setback. Bexar County Appraisal lists both the complex and original carport constructed in 1968.
The applicant states the carport was reconstructed within the footprint of the original carport that was damaged beyond repair during a tornado strike that occurred in February of 2017. There is currently a 6' privacy fence separating the apartment complex to the residential lots to the rear. The new carport does not have any storm water controls present.
