DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: <br /> <br />The applicants are asking for a variance to construct a 1,500 square foot accessory building for <br />the storage of vehicles.

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: <br /> <br />The City’s discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the <br />proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a <br />higher level of discretion with a variance because the burden of proof is on the applicant to show <br />that they meet the standards in the ordinance. <br />
