Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends partial approval. For full recommendation see page 6. Background This property has been the subject of similar variance requests to develop the property in the past, all of which were denied. Over the years the City has adopted several ordinances which provide relief to small lots with respect to setbacks and structure footprint limits.Some of the new rules when applied to the subject property provide the intended relief such as the side street setback and overall hardcover. However the applicant is requesting rear setback,75-foot setback and 75-foot setback hardcover variances.Additionally,average lakeshore setback, lot area and lot width variances are still necessary, at a minimum, in order to develop the property. LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET Section 78-330&78-1279-Setbacks: The subject lot is 83 feet wide.The code was recently amended to provide for reduced setbacks in some situations. Within the LR-1B zoning district,the side yard setback for lots that are non- conforming as to their width shall be the lessor of ten feet or equal to ten percent of the lot width as defined. However, in no case shall the side yard setback be less than 7.5 feet. For the subject lot the applied side yard setback shall be 8.3 feet. Additionally,the rear yard setback was reduced from 30-feet, and the side street setback was reduced from 35-feet. The revised setback is 20-feet for both.
