Sergio de las Salas,16586 NW 8 Street (District 3)
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Sergio De las Salas, owner, submitted two residential zoning variance requests to legalize existing construction for the property located at 16586 NW 8 Street in the Spring Valley neighborhood, which is zoned residential single-family (R-1Z).
In May 2023, the owner submitted a building permit application (No. RX23-05832) to build a patio at the property; however, during plan review, it was detected an existing 32.50’ x 16.30’ roofed patio, attached to the rear wall of the home closer than the required fifteen-foot (15’) rear setback.

· ZV(R)2024-0081: to allow 51% Maximum Lot Coverage (all buildings) instead of the required 45% Maximum Lot Coverage (all buildings) in a single-family residence, zero-lot type.
Per staff review of the city’s archives, no permits can be found for the existing patio and the 32.50’ x 16.30’ roofed structure, attached. Nonetheless, according to Broward County Property Appraiser Imagery, it appears the patio and roofed structure have existed at location since December 2016 and December 2019 respectively.
The owner would like to retain the existing non-permitted items at the existing location. The applicant is presenting an “As Built” survey indicating the following modifications:
