Request
A request for a 222 square foot variance from the minimum 4,000 square foot lot size, as described in section 35-310.01, to allow a lot size to be 3,778 square feet.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 331 East Whittier Street west of Yorkshire Place, located in the Arena District. According to BCAD, the subject is 3,778 square feet, which fails to meet the 4,000 square foot minimum lot size for its zoning district. The applicant is seeking a variance to reduce the minimum lot size requirement by 222 square feet to allow for an existing residence. According to the applicant the property was purchased in 2016 and at that time the inspector did not notice the lot size was smaller than permitted. The applicant was seeking to refinance the property and the mortgage company denied their application due to the fact that the lot does not meet the 4,000 square foot minimum lot size for its zoning district. The existing home was built in 1920 and cannot be expanded as the surrounding properties are already developed. This is a small street with compact lots.
