Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Orlando Dager on behalf of the property owner(s), submitted a Residential Zoning Variance Request to legalize the use of an existing accessory building for the property located at 5401 SW 199 Avenue in the Trails Neighborhood, which is zoned Residential Estate (R-E).
In November 13, 2025, the City’s Code Compliance Division cited the property for a horse being housed or stored on the property (Code Case No. 250903110).
The owner would like to address the code notice and to legalize the use of the existing accessory building for the keeping of a horse in the subject property. The petitioner provided a letter of explanation and supportive documentation for the following request:
ZV(R) 2025-0053: to allow 30' side setback along a segment of the southern property line instead of the required 50’ side setback for the keeping of a horse in an existing accessory building
Per staff search of the city’s archives, in June 2024, the Building Department reviewed, approved, and inspected the installation of the existing +/- 1,100 Square-Foot accessory building at location. The permit was finalized on July 11, 2024 (See copy of approved plan, RO23-13638)
The petitioner is aware that Board consideration of residential variance requests does not preclude the property owner from obtaining all necessary development related approvals or permits.
The applicant has provided Homeowner’s Association approval for this proposed project.
