FILE: 700-BA
STAFF REPORT
The Lord's House Ministries has requested a Variance to the side yard setback from 10' to
5.66'. The church would like to enclose the front porch to enlarge their office space. The
existing structure sits 5.66' from the side yard property line. In order to line up the newly
enclosed portion with the existing building, it will be necessary to encroach into the ten
(10) foot side setback. The front setback in the current zoning district, GC-MD (General
Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling District) is 20 feet and will not be an issue with
the porch which is set back approximately 22' from the front property line.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions
necessary for a variance have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
