FILE: 622-BA
STAFF REPORT
Danielle McClendon has applied for a variance to the minimum front
yard building setback from 25' to 9'. The property is located at
7915 Homer.
The purpose of the variance request is to allow the construction of a
new carport that would replace one that was totally destroyed by
Hurricane Ike. Ms. McClendon states that the carport was there for
fifteen years.
The Zoning Ordinance states that A when an existing residential
structure does not contain a garage or carport and where there is not
adequate area for an accessible parking space behind the front yard
area, a carport having no side walls may be constructed in the front
yard area.@
The subject property is located on the corner of Homer and
Meadowview. Access to and room in the rear yard for parking is
available. Since the non-conforming carport was totally demolished
and there is room for parking in the rear yard, Ms. McClendon must
come before the Board of Adjustment for a variance.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
