Location:
824 Mallow Street
Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Variance request to reduce the north side yard setback from 8 feet to 4 feet for an accessory dwelling unit. The subject property is comprised of 0.24 acres and is zoned Medium Density Residential District (MDR). The property currently contains a 1,200-square-foot single family dwelling and 777-square-foot detached garage. The applicant is proposing to build an accessory dwelling unit measuring 9 feet by 16 feet (144 square feet) on an existing concrete pad to the north of the existing single-family dwelling; however, the Building Official has noted that the concrete pad has not been designed to serve as a foundation for a dwelling unit, which requires a higher standard than non-habitable accessory structures or patios. The existing concrete pad and proposed location of the accessory dwelling unit is 4 feet from the north property line, 7 feet from the existing single-family dwelling, and 15 feet from the adjacent single-family dwelling. The request is a 50% reduction to the 8-foot setback requirement for accessory structures in the Medium Density Residential District.
