Title

Variance for Mr. Bobby Altman, agent for Ms. Zane Altman, owner. (B)

Petition DB-21-144 VAR:   Mr. Bobby Altman, agent for Ms. Zane Altman, owner.  Requesting a variance to reduce the east front yard setback, from 20 feet to 17 feet to allow construction of a garage, attached to an existing single-family dwelling.  Zoned: RSF-1 (Single-family Residential) Located at 1302 NW 16^th Terrace.

Explanation

The subject property is one of three parcels fronting NW 16^th. Street between NW 12^th. Avenue and NW 14^th. Road. It is the center parcel, and the only one with a front property boundary along NW 16^th. Street; the other two parcels are corner lots with frontage on NW 12^th and 14^th Avenues, respectively.  The applicant is proposing a garage expansion to the single-family residence and is requesting a variance to reduce the front yard setback from 20 feet to 17 feet along NW 16^th. Street.  Since the 16^th Street right-of-way is the street side of the adjoining lots, the proposed garage expansion with a 17-foot setback will be behind the alignment of the two adjacent lots.   

Fiscal Note

None.

Recommendation

Review Petition DB-21-144 VAR, for compliance with the criteria for granting a variance.
