STAFF REPORT <br /> To: Planning Commission <br /> From: Kim Moore-Sykes, Assistant City Manager <br /> Date: March 16,2010 <br /> Subject: 3038 Harding Street --Variance to Front Yard Setback <br /> Requested Action: Concept Review <br /> Date Application Received: N/A <br /> Property Address: 3038 Harding Street <br /> Zoning District: R1 <br /> 60-Day Expires: N/A <br /> Waiver Letter Required: Yes N/A Date Sent: No <br /> Future Action: <br /> Background: Staff received a call from Jeremiah Battles,Acacia Architects,informing staff that the property <br /> owners at 3038 Harding Street were interested in adding a front porch to their house as a part of a larger <br /> renovation project that they are planning. Mr.Battles asked about the City's front yard setback regulations and if <br /> a front porch was possible. In discussing the proposed front porch, it was determined that the residential <br /> structure's front foundation wall sits on the edge of the front yard setback. The City Zoning Ordinance allows <br /> for a five (5)—foot encroachment into the front yard (§ 152.177(D)). <br /> Mr. Battles advised Staff that their plans provide for a six (6)—foot wide porch. He asked about the possibility <br /> of applying for a variance to allow for the front porch that they are planning because the property owners are <br /> looking for a little wider porch so they can use it. He and the owners have agreed to present their proposal for <br /> the front porch to the Planning Commission in a concept review at the March 16`'Planning Commission <br /> meeting. <br /> Application Review: <br /> Action: <br /> Communications: <br /> Attachments: <br /> • E-mail from the Architect <br /> • Site Map <br /> • Photographs of Site <br /> • Architectural Drawings of Front Porch <br /> 03162010 3038 Harding St FY Encroachment Variance.doc <br />
