Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Jimmy James, owner, submitted two residential zoning variance requests to legalize an existing circular driveway at the single-family residence located at 13801 NW 16 Street in the Pembroke Falls neighborhood, which is zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development) The property follows the guidelines for single-family conventional with lots larger than 8,250 Square Feet. The PUD guidelines do not address front lot coverage, driveway width; therefore, the provisions of the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) are applicable.
On July 25, 2019, and on November 19, 2023, the owner submitted Building Permit Applications No.: BUL-205904 and No. RX23-14259 to build a circular driveway at the property, the permit could not be issued as the proposed work exceeded the limitations of the City’s LDC, so the permit application expired.
In February 8, 2024 the City’s Code Compliance Division cited the property (Code Case No. 240200514) for work performed without building permits.
As result of the unpermitted, existing work at the property, the owner is requesting:
· ZV(R)2024-0019: to allow 47% front lot coverage (total) instead of the allowed 35% front lot coverage (total) for an existing circular driveway on a residential single-family property, typical lot.
· ZV(R)2024-0020: to allow 46% width of lot instead of the allowed 40% width of lot for an existing circular driveway on a residential single-family residential property, typical lot.
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.
The subject property is in Pembroke Falls neighborhood. The owner has provided a copy of the Homeowners Association (HOA) Letter, dated September 16, 2021.
