A request for 1) a 1,816 square foot variance from the minimum lot size requirement of 4,000 square feet, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow the lot to be 2,184 square feet and 2) a 10' variance to the rear setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to be allow a 10' setback from the rear property line, and 3) a 10' variance from the required 20' garage entrance, as described in Section 35-516(g), to allow a garage to be located 10' from the front property line.

Executive Summary

The subject property is located on the western side of North Polaris Street between Belmont Street and Paso Hondo Street. The property is currently vacant and located mid-block. The property is a portion of the abutting lot to the north, which is the cause in reduction of square footage of the lot to less than 4,000 square feet. The applicant is requesting variances for the minimum lot size, the rear setback requirement, and the garage front setback, in order to have more flexibility in developing the lot. If the variances were granted, the applicant is proposing to develop a single-family residence on the property.
