Zoning board approves variances to allow new home at 1902 South Randolph
Summary
Senior planner recommended approval of three setback variances for a 0.121-acre lot at 1902 South Randolph in the Rio Vista neighborhood; the board voted unanimously to approve the variances after no public comment was recorded.
The San Angelo Zoning Board of Adjustments approved three variances that will allow construction of a new single-family home at 1902 South Randolph in the Rio Vista neighborhood.
Senior planner Austin Reed presented the application and analysis. He said the lot measures about 0.121 acres, is in the city's designated infill area and is just above minimum lot size. The applicant requested: a 13-foot front setback on West Avenue in lieu of the required 25 feet; a 22-foot front setback on South Randolph in lieu of the required 25 feet; and a 15-foot rear setback instead of the required 20 feet. Reed said staff mailed notice to 27 nearby addresses and, to his knowledge, received no responses. "So with that, we are recommending approval," Reed told the board.
A motion to approve the variances as presented was made by Speaker 3 and seconded; after discussion the board voted and the motion passed unanimously. Speaker 2 announced the result: "The motion passes six-zero." The transcript records that the applicant was not present in person but was watching online.
Board members noted that the lot has double frontages and sufficient right-of-way; staff said variances help promote residential infill. No public commenters signed up for this item.
Next steps: the approved variances clear local zoning obstacles for the applicant to proceed with building permitting, subject to any additional city permit requirements.
