Board grants variances to allow duplex construction on two Tacoma Avenue lots
Summary
The board approved a variance to allow construction of a duplex on each of two lots at 1135 and 1141 North Tacoma Avenue after the board voted to adopt findings and decide expedited petitions without additional testimony.
The Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals Division 1 granted a variance to allow the construction of a duplex on each of two undersized lots at 1135 and 1141 North Tacoma Avenue, the board announced on the expedited docket.
The petitioners, Ariana and Joel Matthews, represented by Paul J. Lambie, requested relief from the consolidated zoning and subdivision ordinance to permit duplexes on two lots with widths of roughly 45 and 40 feet where a 60-foot lot width is required. The board voted to hear and decide expedited cases without further testimony and adopted the findings of fact for this petition.
The board’s recorded statement on the expedited item noted: “On case 2025DashDV1Dash004, Jennifer and Tom Barnes votes yes. The variance is granted.” The transcript records yes votes for Jennifer Witt and Tom Barnes and records the variance as granted; no further testimony was taken at the hearing on the item.
The approval allows the petitioners to proceed with zoning relief for duplex construction subject to any standard permitting and development requirements under the consolidated zoning and subdivision ordinance.
