November 9, 2020 Page 2 1. Side Yard Setback Variance for Driveway, reducing the required 5 foot setback to 2 feet. Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval, based on a finding that the current garage and driveway are inadequate to provide reasonable access and parking area on the property, and that further expansion to the interior of the lot would create other zoning issues. The Planning Commission made this recommendation with one negative vote. 2. Side Yard Setback Variance for Patio, reducing the required 5 foot setback to 2 feet. Staff and Planning Commission recommend denial, based on a finding that the threshold requirements for unique conditions and definition of reasonable use are not met according to the requirements of the zoning ordinance for variance consideration. A portion of the patio should be removed to meet the 5 foot setback. The Planning Commission made this recommendation unanimously. 3. Side and Rear Yard Setback Variance for Shed Expansion from 5 feet to 0 feet. Staff and Planning Commission recommend denial, based on a finding that the threshold requirements for unique conditions and definition of reasonable use are not met according to the requirements of the zoning ordinance for variance consideration. The applicant may choose to remove a portion of the shed to retain the prior non-conformity setbacks for a 10’ by 10’ shed, or relocate the expanded shed to meet the 5 foot setback. The Planning Commission made this recommendation unanimously. 4. Impervious Surface Variance from 40% maximum coverage to 43% coverage. Staff and Planning Commission recommend denial, based on a finding that the threshold requirements for unique conditions and definition of reasonable use are not met according to the requirements of the zoning ordinance for variance consideration. The applicant should work with Code Enforcement to remove at least 220 square feet of impervious area (this amount based on staff estimates), or provide a survey that demonstrates a different amount of removal to meet the maximum allowable coverage of 40% (3,715 square feet). The Planning Commission made this recommendation unanimously. Because these improvements were completed prior to permitting or zoning approval, denial of the variances noted would require removal of some of the improvements made to the property.
