Request
A request for a 2.5' variance from the 20' rear setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached addition to have a 17.5' rear setback.
Executive Summary
According to Bexar County Appraisal District, the subject property's home was built in 1960 on a 11,970 square foot lot. The property measures approximately 90' in width by 134'in depth and is within the Northridge Park Subdivision. The applicant is requesting a variance to amplify the existing structure to accommodate an attached addition having a 17.5' rear setback. The property abuts an alley with a width of 15 feet. Per Section 35-516(c), an owner can reduce the rear setback by half of the alley width. Using credit for half of the alley width adds an additional 7.5' resulting in the proposed addition to have a 17.5' rear setback. According to the applicant, the shape and location of the addition to the rear of the garage was chosen to allow construction with the least disruption to the existing portions of the home.
