Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Dean Tomlinson, owner, submitted two residential zoning variance requests to legalize an existing shed at the property located at 400 NW 91 Avenue in the Westview neighborhood, which is zoned Single-Family Residential Zoning District (R-1C).
On January 14, 2025, the City’s Code Compliance Division cited the property (Code Case No. 250100061) for work performed without building permits.
Per the sketch on the survey, there is an existing 8’ x 8’ shed on a concrete slab located on northwest corner of the property, the applicant specifically is requesting:
ZV(R)2025-0025: Four-foot (4’) side setback along a segment of the northern side property line instead of the required five-foot (5’) side setback for an existing 8’ x 8’ shed in a residential single-family, typical lot.
ZV(R)2025-0026: Two-foot (2’) rear setback along a segment of the rear property line instead of the required five-foot (5’) for an existing 8’ x 8’ shed in a residential single-family, typical lot.
Per staff review of the city’s archives, no permit information can be found for the shed; however, per Broward County Property Appraiser Imagery, the shed had existed at location since at least 1998. (See property images).
The applicant is aware that Board consideration of residential variance requests does not preclude the property owner from obtaining all necessary development-related approvals or permits.
Per the City’s HOA list, there is no HOA in the neighborhood where the property is located.
