ZV(R)2023-0086 & 0087, Albert & Stacey Abello, 662 SW 159 Drive
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Albert Abello, property owner, has submitted two residential zoning variance requests for a proposed circular driveway at the property located at 662 SW 159 Drive. The property is part of the Pembroke Shores Planned Unit Development (PUD) and follows the guidelines for single-family homes with a lot larger than 8,800 square feet. The PUD guidelines do not address driveways, front lot coverage; therefore, the provisions of the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) are applicable.
On March 8, 2023, the owner submitted a building permit application (No. RX23-03239) to build a circular driveway on the property; however, the permit cannot be issued as the proposal exceeds the limitations of the City’s LDC. The applicant is requesting the following:
· ZV(R) 2023-0086 is to allow 56% of front lot coverage instead of the allowed 35% front lot coverage for a proposed circular driveway in a typical single-family residential lot.
· ZV(R) 2023-0087 is to allow 52% of lot’s width instead of the allowed 40% of lot’s width for a proposed circular driveway in a typical single-family residential 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 petitioner has not provided HOA Approval.
