Request
A request for 1) a 15' 6" variance to the minimum 20' rear setback, as required in Sec 35-310.01, to allow the structure to be 4' 6" from the rear property line and 2) a 1'4" variance to the minimum 5' side setback, as required in Sec 35-310.01, to allow the structure to be 3' 8" from the side property line, and 3) a 2,130 square foot variance to the 6,000 square foot minimum lot size to allow a lot to be 3,870 square feet.

Executive Summary

The subject property is located mid-block along Peters Court. The owner is applying for a rear and side setback variance to construct an addition towards the rear property line. Directly behind the property is a private street for a townhome complex. Upon inspection, staff also found the property is smaller than the minimum lot size requirement for "R-6", which is 6,000 feet. This property was made a non-conforming lot of record by a large area rezoning in 2006. The neighborhood is generally small lot, zero lot line townhomes.
