Ford Request: Application for a variance to construct a duplex without required setbacks and under size lot. Analysis: Mr. Ford is requesting the Board consider the following exceptions to the building and site regulations of Appendix A-Zoning Section 5 F.2. for the structure located in the R-2 zoning district on the corner lot at the above-referenced address: - reduction in lot size from 9,000 square feet (required) to 8,862 square feet (4,500 per dwelling unit) - reduction in the following required setbacks: rear setback 25.0 feet to 20.12 feet, west side (corner) 12.5 feet to 11.5 feet, and front setback from 25.0 feet to 24.85 feet. The request also includes changing the previously approved use of the second floor of the garage (personal storage only) to a dwelling unit. The requested changes are in conjunction with modifying an existing single family residence with detached two-story garage to create a duplex (see attached survey and site plan). Find attached Exhibit "A", a document prepared by the applicant, which represents the statement of conditions for the request. The following list is provided to assist you in making your evaluation: 1. The site is located in the R-2 zoning district. The site is a corner lot that has two existing structures; single family residence that faces S.E. 21st Avenue and a two story garage that faces S.E. 1st Street. 2. June 14, 1976, the Board of Adjustment approved the following request for the subject property: (see attached Exhibit "B"). 3. The second story, indicated in the 1976 case, has been added to the garage building. However, the construction has not received final approval by the Building Department. On September 20, 1977, the original permit was cancelled. Therefore, occupancy of the building for personal storage is not allowed. To occupy the building for personal storage, new permits are required for the existing and proposed work. 4. Mr. Ford is requesting to change the use of the unfinished second story of the garage from personal storage to a dwelling unit. The request also includes the reduction of the aforementioned building and site regulations. The objective of the request is to attach the garage/dwelling unit structure to the existing residential structure and to create a duplex that will be considered legal with regards to the applicable zoning regulations. -1- Page Two - BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT - Staff Report 5. Reducing the setbacks will increase the size of the building area of the lot. The building area is the portion of the lot remaining after the setbacks have been provided. Buildings may be placed in any part of the building area, but limitations on the percentage of the lot which may be covered by buildings may require open space within the building area. The maximum lot coverage for the subject lot is 40 percent. The lot coverage identified on the proposed site plan is 36 percent. 6. Two-family dwelling units (duplexes) are a permitted use in the R-2 zoning district. 7. The zoning district and uses of the abutting properties are as follows: North - Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.), multi- family condominiums East - R-2 Single and Two-Family Dwelling District, single family home South - R-2, across S.E. 21st Avenue, single family home West - R-2, across S.E. 1st Street, duplex meh/cmc a:staffrpt4/94 -2-
