Request
A request for a 4' variance from the 5' side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport to be 1' from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 142 Shasta Avenue, approximately 976' west of Pleasanton Road. The applicant initially constructed a carport that did not follow the site plan and permit submitted to Development staff on July. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the carport to stay as is within the side setback. There is currently no storm water controls installed on the carport.
The general character of the neighborhood consists of single-family residences, no garages, and attached carports. Generally, the carports staff saw during field inspections were of metal design. Additionally, because most residences on Shasta Avenue have attached carports within the side property, there is a pattern of reduced side setbacks.
Code Enforcement History
Code Enforcement was not involved in this project.
Permit History
The applicant applied for a carport permit on July 12, 2018 for a 540 square foot covered carport attached to the side of the existing residence. The site plan submitted with the application indicated the carport, at 12' wide, would be 5' from the side property line. The building frame inspector put the permit on a hold status pending a revised site plan or variance.
