Request: Variance in the PD zoning district to allow a covered patio with a south rear setback of 6.5 ft. in lieu of 15 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: SYNOPSIS: Staff described the proposal, including the location of the property, the site plan, and photos of the site. Staff provided an analysis of the six (6) criteria and the reasons for a recommendation for approval. Staff noted that one (1) comment was received in support, and no comments were received in opposition. The applicant did not have anything to add. There was no one in attendance to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. The BZA noted the two nearby prior similar approvals, the lack of alternatives to provide backyard shade, the restricted property size, the limited impact to adjacent residences since the proposed patio partially backs up to a street, Savannah Park, stated consistency with the six (6) Variance criteria and unanimously recommended approval of the variances by a 7-0 vote, subject to the four (4) conditions in the staff report.
