ZBA approves side-yard reduction for double-frontage lot to allow development
Summary
The board approved ZBA26030015, reducing a front/side setback to 15 feet on a double-frontage lot after staff said the change would not worsen existing parking issues in the neighborhood; the motion passed 9–0.
The Zoning Board unanimously approved a setback reduction (ZBA26030015) that will allow construction on a lot with two street frontages by setting one frontage to a 15-foot setback.
Planner June said 72 notices were mailed and staff did not object; two responses opposed the reduction citing local parking pressure but staff said reducing a side-yard setback would not materially worsen on-street parking. The board discussed prior approvals for the property and noted one opposition comment that referenced crowded on-street parking near rental properties; staff maintained that the requested relief would permit the applicant to construct the planned improvement without creating a new parking hazard.
A motion to close and approve the item passed with a recorded vote of 9–0. The matter will move forward for permitting and the applicant must comply with building-code and setback conditions established by the approval.
Actions: Board closed public hearing and approved ZBA26030015 (vote 9–0).
