Summary

The Board approved a five-foot variance (Case Z2600170) reducing the RS7 combined side setback from 15 to 10 feet for a new single-family home at 610 N. Cameron Avenue, citing the lot's legally nonconforming width.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment voted unanimously to grant a five-foot variance for the combined side setback for a proposed single-family residence at 610 N. Cameron Avenue (Case Z2600170).

Staff explained the lot is legally nonconforming and 12 feet narrower than the RS7 minimum, meaning strict application of the UDO would prevent the proposed house. Applicant Muhammad Ali testified and answered board questions about design and compliance. After discussion, Mr. Hairston moved and Mr. Forrest seconded approval; the board approved the variance 6-0.

Staff noted the proposed plan meets other RS7 setback requirements and recommended approval with conditions the board may impose at its discretion.
