Walter & Pamela Jackson, 1441 SW 86 Avenue (District 1)
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Pamela Jackson, owner, submitted a residential zoning variance request to legalize an existing structure for the single-family residence located at 1441 SW 86 Avenue in the Cinnamon Place community, which is zoned Residential Single-Family, Zero Lot (R-1Z).
In October 29, 2024, the City’s Code Compliance Division cited the property for work performed without building permits, Code Case No. 241003282.
On March 26, 2025, the owner submitted Building Permit Application No. RO25-02975 to construct a 10’ x 15’ open sided structure (attached) to the south wall of the house (nonzero lot side); however, the permit application cannot be approved as the existing work encroaches into the required side setback.
The owner provided a copy of the property’s survey sketching the location and the footprint of the structure built on the nonzero lot for the following request:
· ZV(R)2025-0052: to allow 9.6’ side setback along a segment of the southern property line instead of the required 15’ side setback for an existing 10’ x 15’ open sided structure (attached) in a residential single-family property, zero lot.
Per staff search of city’s archives, there are no building permits for the detected work at the property. Nonetheless, per Broward County Property Appraiser Imagery, the open sided roofed structure (attached) has existed on the property since at least December 2022 (See Images).
The petitioner is aware that Board consideration of residential variance requests does not preclude the property owner from obtaining all necessary development related approvals or permits.
The subject property is in Cinnamon Place Community. The owner has provided a copy of the Homeowners Association Letter dated December 15, 2025.
