Zoning Board reaffirms variance for 2000 Wyoming allowing small front‑yard encroachment
Summary
On Jan. 27, 2025 the El Paso Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a reconsideration to allow a 7‑foot, 2‑inch encroachment (79 sq ft) into the front‑yard setback at 2000 Wyoming with a condition addressing right‑of‑way/raised dock concerns.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment for El Paso approved a reconsideration Jan. 27 to permit a proposed addition at 2000 Wyoming to encroach 7 feet, 2 inches into the required front‑yard setback, a total of 79 square feet, subject to a condition addressing encroachment into the nearby right of way.
The action matters to the property owner because it allows the planned addition to proceed; staff said the request is the same as the proposal approved at the board's Dec. 9, 2024 meeting and that corrected site images were presented at the Jan. 27 hearing.
Jose del Tram, planner with Planning and Inspections, told the board the item was a reconsideration of “special exception B” and described the request to modify the required 15‑foot front‑yard setback. He displayed aerial and site‑plan images showing the proposed addition and said five other properties in the same block have structures that encroach into their front‑yard setbacks. He said notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet on Nov. 26, 2024 and again on Jan. 17, 2025, and that the planning division had received one phone inquiry about the request. “This item was approved at the ZBA meeting held on 12/09/2024,” Jose del Tram said during his presentation.
The applicant, identified only as Cesar of In Situ Architecture, had no comment and told the board the project had been previously approved. A board motion to approve staff’s recommendation with the stated condition was moved by board member Martha Guayon and passed. The condition, as stated by staff, addressed that no construction shall occur within the right of way and that the raised dock to the east along Willow Street be addressed before construction into that area occurs.
The board did not record individual roll‑call votes on the record for this item; the chair announced the motion passed. Staff will notify the applicant of the board’s decision and any next steps required to comply with the condition.
