Request
The applicant is requesting a zoning variance from the Beacon Hill Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD-5) design standards that require street-facing windows to have a vertical to horizontal dimension ratio of 2:1 and a 1-over-1 light division. There are four (4) residential structures on the subject property, which were constructed with some of the windows having a vertical to horizontal dimension ratio of 1:1 and single-pane windows.
Executive Summary
The subject properties are located on the corner of West Magnolia Avenue and Grant Avenue. The applicant is requesting a variance from the Beacon Hill Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD-5) design standards for street-facing windows. Currently, the development is constructed and the structures need a variance from the vertical to horizontal dimension ratio of 2:1 and at least a 1-over-1 light division. Currently, there are some street-facing windows that appear as a square, which do not abide by NCD-5 requirements. The applicant has glued some false divisions on the some of the windows in order to aesthetically show they have the 1-over-1 light division, however, is requesting the variance in the case that a new property owner wishes to remove them. The surrounding area is predominately single-family residential uses and contains some multi-family uses. These structures are recently built and the window design was caught during a staff NCD inspection at the site.
