Planner Becker reviewed the variance request stating that it was to grant an alternative
setback of nine feet in lieu of the established 10-foot minimum front setback required by
the R-Residential Zoning district. The reason for the variance request is to permit the
construction of an attached 2-car garage. Staff recommended approval of the variance
request.
Staff and Board Member Discussion:
The board collectively asked why staff can’t approve a variance of 10% or less. Becker
answered that she has had guidance from the Director that staff are no longer to be doing
those. Smith asked about the staircase to which Becker answered that Code permits it to
go 3 feet into the setback.
