Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Ronald Varona, owner, submitted a residential zoning variance request to legalize an existing structure for the property located at 18822 NW 23 Place. The property is part of the Keystone Lake Planned Unit Development (PUD) and follows the guidelines for single-family homes, conventional lots (SF-1). The PUD does not address open-sided, freestanding structures; therefore, the provisions of the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) apply.
As result of the existing work on the property, the petitioner is presenting an As-Built survey and a plan showing the structure’s footprint and location for the following request:
· ZV(R)2026-0013 to allow a two-hundred seventy-two Square-Foot (272 SF) instead of the required 200 SF for an existing open sided structure, freestanding in a single-family residential, conventional lot.
Per staff review of the city’s archives, no permit information can be found for the work at the property; nevertheless, per Broward County Property Appraiser Imagery, the open sided roofed structure, freestanding had existed at location since at least December 2020 (See images).
The applicant is aware that Board consideration of a residential variance request does not preclude the property owner from obtaining all necessary development related approvals or permits.
The subject property in the Keystone Lake Neighborhood, the owner provided HOA Letter, dated April 9, 2026.
VARIANCE REQUEST DETAILS:
ZV(R)2026-0013) is to allow to allow a two-hundred seventy-two Square-Foot (272 SF) instead of the required 200 SF for an existing open sided structure, freestanding in a single-family residential, conventional lot.
