Hector & Anna Perez, 16310 NW 19 Street (District 3)

SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Hector Perez, owner, has submitted seven residential zoning variance requests to legalize an existing driveway, an existing patio, and an existing roofed structure (attached) for the single-family residence located at 16310 NW 19 Street in Parkside at Spring Valley neighborhood which is zoned Residential Single-Family Zero Lot Line (R-1Z).
