Request
A 10' variance to the required 20' rear setback as described in Table 310-1, to allow a residential dwelling to be 10' from the rear property line.

Executive Summary

The subject property is located along Lamar Street, just east of downtown and the applicant is requesting a variance to the rear setback. The previous structure was demolished and is currently a vacant lot. The street to the rear is a substandard street, which if it were an alley, would eliminate the need for the variance. The property is located on both ends of a block and does not have an abutting rear property.

Code Enforcement History
There are no relevant code enforcement violations outstanding for the property.

Permit History
There are no relevant permits pulled for the property.

Zoning History
The property was part of the original 36 square miles of the City of San Antonio and zoned "C" Apartment District. The property was rezoned by Ordinance 70785, dated December 14, 1989 to the "R-7" Small Lot Home District. The zoning converted from "R-7" Small Lot Home District to the current "R-4" Residential Single-Family District upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code (Ordinance 93881, dated May 3, 2001).
