Ronald A & Silvia Cuevas, Jason & Melanie Cuevas

Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Ronald Cuevas, owner, submitted three residential zoning variance requests to legalize existing construction for the property located at 312 SW 184 Way in the Estancia neighborhood, which is zoned residential single-family (R-1C).

· ZV(R)2025-0010: to allow four-foot (4’) side setback along a segment of the northern property line instead of the required five-foot (5’) side setback for an existing patio.
