PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Yoandy Ramos, owner, submitted five Zoning Variance requests to legalize an existing driveway, patio and deck for the property located at 8761 NW 14 Street in the Boulevard Heights neighborhood (aka Sunswept west) zoned Single-Family Residential Zoning District (R-1C).
