PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE – BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS

 

File #:                   18 - 035099

 

Purpose:      The applicant is proposing to construct a 6-unit row house development on a vacant lot in the RM2, multi-family residential zoning district and is requesting three variances: 1) This zoning district requires 1,500 square feet of lot area per unit. Based on the number of proposed units, a minimum lot area of 9,000 square feet is required; a lot area of 7,180 square feet is available, resulting in a variance request of 1,820 square feet. 2) The zoning code states that no multi-family dwellings can be built to create three or more dwelling units on a lot that is less than 9,000 square feet in area; the applicant is requesting a variance from this requirement. 3) A side yard setback of 9’ is required; a setback of 3’ is proposed for a variance request of 6’. 4) Based on the number proposed units, seven off -street parking spaces are required; the applicant is providing 6 off -street spaces for a variance of one parking space. 5) A setback of 9' is required for the off-street parking area; the applicant is proposing a setback of one foot for both east and west sides of the parking lot for a variance request of 8'.
