Title
ZV(R)2023-0027 & 0030 & 0031, Carlos Ramos & Esther Soledad Pena, 6146 SW 191 Avenue
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Carlos Ramos, owner, submitted three residential zoning variance requests for an existing driveway and an existing covered patio at the single-family residence located at 6146 SW 191st Avenue in the Laguna Isles subdivision, which is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD).
On July 20, 2021, the City’s Code Compliance Division initiated Code Compliance procedures (Case No. 129430) for work performed without building permits.

· ZV(R) 2023-0030 is to allow 55% total width of lot instead of allowed 40% front lot coverage (total) for an existing paver driveway in a typical lot.
· ZV(R) 2023-0031 is to allow 46% Lot Coverage instead of the allowed 40% Lot Coverage.
