Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Jose Echmendia, owner, submitted a residential zoning variance request to propose new construction for the property located at 8751 NW 15 Street in the Boulevard Heights neighborhood, which is zoned residential single-family (R-1C).
On February 14, 2025, the property owner submitted Building Permit Application No. RO25-01529 to build a 13’ x 22’ open sided roofed structure, attached to the rear wall of the house; however, the application cannot be approved as the proposed work exceeds the limitations of the City’s Land Development Code (LDC).
Per the proposed plan, the structure will be encroaching over three-foot (3.10’) into the required fifteen-foot (15’) rear setback; as result, the petitioner is specifically requesting:
· ZV(R)2025-0023: to allow eleven-foot, three-inch (11’ - 3”) rear setback along a segment of the rear property line instead of the required fifteen-foot (15’) rear setback for a proposed twenty-two by thirteen-foot (22’ - 16’) roofed structure, attached in a single-family residence, typical lot.
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 is in the Boulevard Heights neighborhood. There is no Homeowners Association (HOA) where the property is located.
