Summary

Douglas County Planning Commission granted a continuance at the applicant's request for a major variance (DP25-01) that would reduce a required 7-foot west-side setback to 0 feet for a 534-square-foot second-story addition above an existing garage (APN 1418-10-710-074).

The Douglas County Planning Commission on Wednesday granted a continuance, without a date, for major variance application DP25-01. The application seeks to reduce the west-side yard setback from 7 feet to 0 feet for a 534-square-foot second-story addition above an existing garage at APN 1418-10-710-074; the applicant's representative asked the commission to reschedule the hearing.

The continuance was presented by Kate Morales O'Neil of the Douglas County Planning Department. Morales O'Neil said the applicant's representative, identified in the packet as Keith Rubin of Wilson Engineering, had requested more time and was not present. The staff recommendation to continue the item was accepted without public comment.

Commissioner Dan (last name not specified) moved to continue the item; Commissioner Jim (last name not specified) seconded the motion. The motion passed with unanimous consent among those present. Chair Maureen Casey noted Commissioner Bryce Klutz was absent for the meeting.

The commission did not take substantive action on the variance's merits at this meeting. The item will return to the commission for a future hearing once the applicant confirms availability and any outstanding materials are provided to staff.

The continuance applies only to the hearing on the variance; no approvals or findings were adopted and no conditions were imposed at this meeting.
