Board allows duplex conversion, grants reduced open‑space variance citing pre‑existing conditions

The board considered BOA24102, a request to recognize a duplex configuration at 56 North Victor Avenue and to reduce the required open space per unit. Applicant representation explained the property had electrical and water meters split for two units and that the structure had been used as a duplex since purchase; staff and board noted the neighborhood’s zoning history included earlier multifamily designations prior to a 1993 rezoning.
