A request for 1) a 3' variance from the 5' rear setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a detached accessory dwelling unit to be 2' away from the rear property line, and 2) a 2.8' variance from the 5' side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a detached accessory dwelling unit to be 2.2' away from the side property line.
Executive Summary

The subject property is located at 423 West Woodlawn Avenue. The applicant is requesting a decrease of the rear and side building setback lines for an existing detached accessory dwelling unit in order to keep the detached accessory dwelling unit where it is currently located. There are several structures encroaching on the rear and side setbacks within this community.

The subject property is within the Alta Vista Neighborhood Conservation District "NCD-2". The "NCD-2" does not address side or rear setbacks, and as such, the UDC governs these standards.

Code Enforcement History

On February 5, 2019 the applicant received a code violation for repairing the rear dwelling unit without a permit. The case is currently open.

Permit History

No permit history related to this addition exists on the property. The property owner is seeking a variance to allow for a permit to be issued.
