Board approves variance to legalize higher lot coverage at West 30th Street property
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of a variance to legalize 48% lot coverage — above the 30% maximum — at 1158 West 30th Street following staff review and agreement by the applicant to conditions and plan updates.
The Planning & Zoning Board on May 14 voted to recommend approval of a variance permit to legalize an existing lot coverage of 48% at 1158 West 30th Street, where the code maximum is 30%.
Staff reported the property consists of one‑and‑a‑half lots (8,100 sq ft) with an existing single‑family home improved and expanded over decades, including uncovered additions that lacked building permits. The applicant filed plans to create two residential units (one front, one rear), add a driveway and other improvements; staff said the variance would legalize the existing overbuilt condition while permitting the property to be used as a duplex under R‑2 zoning.
Staff recommended approval with conditions including legalization per plans prepared by the applicant’s architect and maintenance of street trees and rear green area. The applicant accepted the conditions and the board voted to approve with conditions; staff will coordinate building permits and ensure the property is legalized according to the approved plans.
