A request for 1) a 2' variance from the 5' east side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-371(a), to allow for a new house to be 3' away from the side property line and 2) for an 1,270 square foot variance from the minimum 6,000 square foot lot size, as described in section 35-310.01, to allow a lot size to be 4,730 square feet.

Executive Summary

The subject property is located at 163 East Lambert Street at the intersection with Dowdy Street, located in the Lone Star District. According to BCAD, the subject property is 4,730 square feet, which fails to meet the 6,000 square foot minimum lot size for its zoning district. The applicant is seeking a variance to reduce the minimum lot size requirement by 1,270 square feet to allow for a Certificate of Determination to be issued. The subject property was an easement owned by the city until 2015. The applicant is also requesting the side setback be reduced to 3' to allow for a 16' wide new house to be built. This is a district with multiple irregular lots, many of which fail to meet the minimum lot sizes.
