Request
A request for a 1) 3' special exception in Section 35- 514(c) to allow a front yard privacy fence to be 6' tall, 2) a 3'4" variance to the minimum 10' front setback as required in Table 310-1 to allow a 6'8" front setback with a 2' overhang for a carport, 3) a 5' variance from the minimum 15' Clear Vision field requirement to allow the front yard fence to be 10' away from the street.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located mid-block along Queretaro Street. The applicant received a Stop Work Order for building without a permit in March of 2021, which caused the submittal for a variance. Upon staff's field visit, the front yard fence on the side appears to be as much as 6 feet in height up until the front property line. Further, staff found the addition of an attached covered patio, built in 2018 without permits, is 6'8" from the front property line. The subject property is located within a neighborhood with varying setbacks to the property line, and along Queretaro, which has 10' of right of way between the curb and property lines.
