Commission approves variance for porch at 1108 Colorado Avenue
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to grant a variance reducing the side‑yard setback to 2'3" so the applicant can rebuild a porch/entry at 1108 Colorado Avenue; staff recommended approval with conditions and the applicant agreed to use fire‑resistant materials.
Planning staff presented a variance request to allow an encroachment into a 5‑foot side yard setback at 1108 Colorado Avenue. Trent Hyatt explained the property’s prior porch removal, the lapse of a 12‑month repair window that converted the prior nonconforming condition into a request for relief, and how the requested 2'3" setback would align the new porch with an adjacent existing structure.
Architect Brad Jordan and the applicants described the restoration plans and said they would use fire‑resistant, code‑compliant materials for the porch. Staff recommended approval with the findings and conditions listed in the staff report. Commissioner Jones moved to approve the variance per staff findings; Commissioner Corcoran seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
