Mount Pleasant Board of Adjustments approves setback variance for 1111 North Washington
Summary
The Mount Pleasant Board of Adjustments on Nov. 12 approved a variance reducing the required side-yard setback from 10 feet to 4 feet for property at 1111 North Washington (Pleasant City Block 131B, Lot 2), following a staff presentation and a statement from the applicant's representative.
The Mount Pleasant Board of Adjustments voted Nov. 12 to grant a variance reducing the required setback from 10 feet to 4 feet for property at 1111 North Washington, which the agenda lists as Pleasant City Block 131B, Lot 2.
City staff described the request as an expansion to the rear of a small building with limited parking and said the structure currently sits about 15 feet from the property line. "They were looking to expand their building," an unnamed city staff member told the board and said the Fire Department reported no objections and would access the building from the roadway if needed.
Manuel Olvera, who identified himself as the applicant's son and representative, told the board the owner, Miss Alma Parma Castro, is the store owner and plans the addition to provide "some extra storage room, and also, like, a little small office for her, and to also, like, a little dining room" to expand interior customer space.
A board member described the case as straightforward, moved to approve the variance (agenda item BOA 02/2024) and a second was given. The board recorded four vocal "Aye" responses and approved the motion.
Earlier in the session the board approved minutes from its Sept. 10, 2024 meeting. The chairman then moved to adjourn, the motion was seconded and the board voted to adjourn.
The variance modifies a requirement in Zoning Code section 155.29 to allow the reduced setback on the property referenced as 1111 North Washington; staff said a property survey will be provided at permitting to verify precise distances. The board did not record any conditions to the approval in the meeting transcript provided.
