Mark & Evelyn Gonzalez, 6131 SW 195 Avenue (District 3)
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Mark Gonzalez, owner, submitted four residential zoning variance requests to legalize existing construction for the property located at 6131 SW 195 Avenue in the Laguna Isles neighborhood. The property is part of the Big Sky North Planned Unit Development (PUD) and follows PUD Zone SF-3 (single-family conventional lot) guidelines. The PUD does not address front lot coverage, patios, setbacks; therefore, the provisions of the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) apply.
On June 30, 2023, the City’s Code Compliance Division cited the property (Case No. 230602732) for work performed without permits.
As of result of the existing work at the property, the applicant would like to request:
· ZV(R)2024-0039: to allow 50% front lot coverage (total) instead of the required 40% front lot coverage (total) for an existing driveway on a single-family residence, typical lot.
· ZV(R)2024-0040: to allow 50% of lot’s width instead of the of the required 40% width of lot for an existing driveway in a residential, single-family, typical lot.
· ZV(R)2024-0041: to allow zero-foot (0’) augmenting to one-foot (1’) side setback along a segment of the northern property line for existing patio.
· ZV(R)2024-0042: to allow zero-foot (0’) side setback along a segment of the southern property line for an approximately five-foot by thirteen (5’ x 13’) existing patio.
Per staff review of the city’s archives, no building permits can be found for the work detected via the code compliance case; however, Broward County Property Appraiser Imagery confirms the driveway and patio, as altered, have existed at the property since at least December 2020.
Planning and Economic Development staff assisted the applicant to identify potential changes to the property’s existing conditions that could be done to me...
