Commission grants major variation for Asbury Avenue addition, 7–0
Summary
The commission approved a major variation (case 26ZMJVDash0036) to reduce a side-yard setback at 1432 Asbury Avenue after the preservation commission had already approved the project; the vote was unanimous, 7–0, with staff conditions.
The Land Use Commission voted unanimously to grant a major variation for 1432 Asbury Avenue (case 26ZMJVDash0036), allowing the applicant to reduce the side‑yard setback to permit a 12‑foot addition.
Architect John Wilson, representing the property owners, described the request as a reduction of the side‑yard setback from 15 feet to about 5.83 feet (approximately 5 feet 10 inches) to align an addition with the existing building line; he noted the property is legally non‑conforming and the requested change extends that non‑conformity. Commissioners said the request was reasonable and consistent with prior preservation‑commission approval. A commissioner moved to approve the variation with staff‑recommended conditions; the motion passed 7–0.
Chair Puktel directed the applicant to coordinate next steps with city staff.
