Board OKs rear-yard exception for addition at 7712 Pawning
Summary
Planning staff recommended and the board approved a request to permit an addition extending into the rear-yard setback at 7712 Pawning; staff described the encroachment as approximately 90 square feet (also noted as 96.2 sq. ft.) and said notices were mailed July 19.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a special-exception request Aug. 10 for an addition that extends into the required rear-yard setback at 7712 Pawning. Saul Pina of Planning and Inspections presented the application and recommended approval because the proposed encroachment falls below the maximum allowed under Exception C.
Pina said the encroachment was approximately 90 square feet and also referenced a more precise figure of 96.2 square feet in the presentation. Notices to adjacent property owners were mailed July 19; staff reported one phone call in support and one inquiry. The property owner, Roger Salazar, said he and his wife had contracted a contractor months earlier and believed permits would be pulled; when they learned no permits had been issued they immediately sought to remedy the situation.
Board members asked whether construction had already started; staff said work had begun but construction had not been finalized and that the owner would need to legalize the nonconforming work as part of the permitting process. A board member moved to approve per staff recommendations and the motion passed by voice vote. The approval is contingent on the normal permitting and inspections process.
