Rezoning recommended to allow porch encroachment at 2333 Fairley Place
Summary
Staff recommended rezoning 2333 Fairley Place from R-1 to RLSF to permit a 10-foot encroachment into the front setback so the owner may add an unenclosed covered front porch; staff noted that any encroachment beyond the 10-foot allowance would require a variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustments.
A staff member presented rezoning case Z-0426-05 for 2333 Fairley Place, where the property owner seeks to change zoning from R-1 (single-family residential) to RLSF (legacy single-family residential) in order to construct an unenclosed, covered front porch that would extend beyond the existing 35-foot setback in R-1. The staff member said the RLSF district permits a maximum encroachment of 10 feet into the setback and that this allowance would accommodate the proposed porch; staff recommended approval.
When a commissioner asked whether a property owner wanting to go beyond the 10-foot encroachment would need additional approvals, staff confirmed a property owner would have to seek a variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustments to exceed the allowed encroachment.
The pre-meeting transcript contains no recorded vote on the rezoning; the item was presented as part of staff’s agenda summary for commission consideration.
