Board approves legalization of front porch at 217 West 30 Fifth Street with compliance conditions
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Board approved a final decision to legalize an existing aluminum porch that encroaches into the front setback at 217 West 30 Fifth Street, subject to building‑permit coordination, resolving open code violations and a recorded declaration keeping the property as single‑family.
The Planning & Zoning Board removed Item 2 from the table and on May 14 approved a request to legalize a front porch at 217 West 30 Fifth Street that sits at 17.98 feet from the front property line where a 20‑foot setback is required.
Applicant representative Alyssa Garcia (EZ Permits & Legalizations) presented plans and staff reviewed the property history, noting a 1954 permit that required a detached servant quarters to be constructed without a kitchen and not used for rental. The property holds a conditional re‑occupancy certificate and an open code violation related to an unregistered RV at the rear.
Staff recommended approval of the front‑setback variance and the legalization of other elements on the property, conditional on removal of the RV, obtaining building permits in accordance with submitted plans, coordination of all plan elements (including blocking an east exterior door per the demolition plan) and recording a declaration of restrictions that the property remain a single‑family home.
The applicant agreed to the conditions and the board approved the request; staff said the code violations must be corrected and building permits obtained to complete the legalization process.
