Summary

The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a rear-setback variance for 2402 Autry Street (BZA 26-41), reducing the rear setback from 25 feet to 20.75 feet for hardship of lot shape; the motion passed 9–0 after the applicant described a 1,134-square-foot house plan and no public opposition spoke.

The Board of Zoning Appeals voted unanimously to approve a rear-setback reduction for a house proposed at 2402 Autry Street. Staff identified the request as a setback reduction from 25 feet to 20.75 feet (BZA 26-41) in an RN-1.5 zoning district. Applicant Jimmy Ovando said the planned home would be "1,134 square feet," described the lot's irregular shape as the hardship and provided a site plan; no neighbors spoke in opposition during the hearing.

Mister Moore made the motion to approve the variance citing lot-shape hardship, and the motion was seconded by Mister Guyer. After brief discussion and no substantive opposition, the board voted to approve the variance. The chair stated the motion "passes 9 to 0." The approval allows the applicant to pursue site-plan and permitting steps required by city departments before any construction begins.
