Request
A request for 1) a 6" variance from the 5' side setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a new residential home to be 4'6" away from the north and south property lines and 2) a 925 square foot variance from the minimum 4,000 square foot lot size, also described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a lot size to be 3,075 square feet.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting variances from both side setbacks and from the minimum lot size in order to build a new shotgun style modern home on the lot. The applicant is working with Neighborhood and Housing Services Department (NHSD) as an affordable housing project. The applicant is the owner of the property, currently residing on the property, and will be the resident of the new home once built. The current dilapidated single-family home will be demolished and rebuilt if the variances requested are granted.
Regardless of any other factors, due to the antiquated, substandard lot, the applicant must seek a variance in order to build on the lot. The variances requested from the side setbacks are due to Housing and Urban Development's requirements on single-family configurations which entail the proposed structure limited at a minimum 16' wide footprint.
The home, as designed by through the affordable housing project, will be two stories, 16' wide, featuring an outside patio and a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration.
