Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Vicencio Maya, owner, has submitted two residential zoning variance requests to build a circular driveway at the property located at 838 SW 173rd Avenue. The property is part of the Silver Lakes Planned Unit Development (PUD) and follows the guidelines for single-family homes with a lot larger than 5,000 square feet. The PUD guidelines do not address driveway setbacks, lot coverage and driveway width; therefore, the provisions of the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) are applicable.
On July 19, 2022, the owner submitted a building permit application (No. RX22-04582) to build a circular driveway at the property. The proposed driveway exceeds the limitations of the City’s LDC. The applicant is requesting the following:
· ZV(R) 2023-0028 to allow a 51% total front lot coverage (total) instead of the allowed 35% front lot coverage (total) for a proposed circular driveway in a typical lot.
· ZV(R) 2023-0029 to allow 45% of the lot’s width instead of the allowed 40% of the lot’s width for a proposed circular driveway in a typical lot.
The applicant is aware that Board consideration of a residential variance request does not preclude the property owner from obtaining all necessary development related approvals or permits.
The subject property is in the Silver Lakes neighborhood. The applicant has provided a copy of the Homeowners Association (HOA) approval.
