SUBJECT:
title
501 N. Alcaniz Street - Variance
Old East Hill Preservation District / Zone OEHC-1
Variance to the North Side Yard Setback
end
BACKGROUND:
Randy Maygarden is requesting approval to reduce the north side yard setback from the required 5 feet to 3 feet to accommodate a new single-family residence. The property is zoned OEHC-1 which has no front yard or rear yard setback. However, the zoning district requires 5-foot side yard setbacks and a 50 percent lot coverage maximum. In addition, a required visibility triangle is present in the southwest corner of the lot which has been administratively reduced from 30 feet to 15 feet due to the small size of the lot. The variance request would allow the applicant to meet the visibility triangle requirement while clearly designating the structure’s frontage on Alcaniz Street and providing off-street parking behind the home.
