Commission grants variance to reduce front and rear setbacks at 3019 Park Street
Summary
The commission approved a variance allowing front setback reduction from 30 ft to 15 ft and rear setback reduction from 20 ft to 6 ft for 3019 Park Street, subject to site-plan consistency and limits on additional zoning deviations.
The East Point Planning and Zoning Commission approved a variance for the property at 3019 Park Street that reduces the front setback from 30 feet to 15 feet and the rear setback from 20 feet to 6 feet.
Applicant Natalie Shirley described the lot as “a little under 50 ft square” and said she sought the dimensional relief to add a bedroom and bathroom and make the home more livable without removing street trees or impacting a nearby sewer easement. "I'm hoping to make it more livable, adding a bedroom and a bathroom," Shirley said.
Director Smith explained staff’s recommendation for approval, noting the variance applies only to the specific dimensional relief requested and listing three conditions: the development must be substantially consistent with the submitted site plan; relief is limited to the requested front and rear yard setbacks and does not authorize further deviations from the zoning ordinance; and any future expansion or structural modification will require additional zoning review. "Staff therefore recommends approval of the variance from R1A urban residential zoning front and rear setback requirements," Director Smith said.
Commissioner Anderson moved to adopt staff’s recommendation; Commissioner Watson seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.
The approval is limited to the dimensional variances described and includes staff’s conditions; any future modification of the building footprint will require further review.
