STAFF REPORT
Benny Mendoza has applied for a variance to the minimum front yard
building setback from 20' to 3.43' and 8.43' and to the minimum
side yard building setback from 10' to 1.54'. The property is located
at 1222 Wall.
Mr. Mendoza states that moving the buildings would cause a hardship
in that the buildings are already constructed (without building
permits) and would be costly to move or demolish. The two larger
buildings are leased for social events. The alley was abandoned by
City Council on March 27, 2012.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
