ZV(R)2023-0089 - 0091, Eduardo Gomez, 19454 NW 24 Place
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Eduardo Gomez, owner, submitted three residential zoning variance requests to legalize an Open Sided Structure (Freestanding), and patio, both existing at the single-family residence located at 19454 NW 24 Court in the Keystone Lake neighborhood. The property is part of the Big Sky Planned Unit Development (PUD) and follows PUD Zone SF-1 (single-family conventional lot) guidelines. The PUD does not address Open Sided Structures (Freestanding) nor decks or patios; therefore, the provisions of the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) apply when PUD guidelines are silent.
On February 3, 2023, the City’s Code Compliance Division cited the property owner (Case No. 230200597) for work performed without permits.
In June 27, 2022, the owner submitted a building permit application (No. RX23-01674) to legalize the constructed driveway. The building permit was approved, inspections satisfied, and the building permit for the driveway was completed as of June 6, 2023. Nevertheless, during plan review, it was detected a new gazebo and existing underlaying deck, all altered without building permits. City staff reviewed aerial photography from the Broward County Property Appraiser, and it appears the existing modifications took place in late 2022. Per city’s archives, no permits are available for the detected work at the property’s rear.
As of result of the existing work, the applicant would like to request:
· ZV(R) 2023-0089: to allow two hundred ten Square Feet (210 SF) instead of the allowed two hundred Square Feet (200 SF) for an existing Open Sided Structure (Freestanding).
· ZV(R) 2023-0090: to allow three feet (3.59’) side setback instead of the required five feet (5.0’) for an existing Open Sided Structure (Freestanding).
· ZV(R) 2023-0091: to allow zero feet (0.0’) setback, augmenting to three feet...
