City of Georgetown, Texas Zoning Board of Adjustment October 20, 2015 SUBJECT: Public Hearing and possible action on a Variance request to Section 6.03.050.A (Residential Single- Family District - Lot and Dimensional Standards) of the Unified Development Code (UDC), to allow a proposed single-family residence to provide a four foot, one inch (4-1 ) side yard setback instead of the required minimum six (6) foot side yard setback on a 4,680 square foot undeveloped residential lot located within the Coffee Addition, Tract 1, Block 15, at 2106 San Jose Street. (VAR-2015-007) Juan Enriquez, Planner ITEM SUMMARY: Background: The applicant, James Prince, has requested approval of a Variance to encroach into the minimum required (6 ft) side yard setback requirement for the construction of a new residence located on an undeveloped 4,680 square foot residential lot zoned Residential Single-Family (RS). The undeveloped 4,680 square foot lot is considered substandard in size since the current Unified Development Code (UDC) minimum lot size in the RS zoning district is 5,500 square feet. The existing lot was created in 1966 through a deed prior to the City s Subdivision Ordinance that became effective on May 10, 1977 and considered grandfathered from the current minimum lot size requirements. The subject property and the surrounding properties are older, and most are considered substandard due to their size creating challenges complying with some of the UDC development standards. Public Comment: As of the date of this report, staff received one verbal comment on the project. The property owner at 2104 San Jose Street stated that the applicant removed the driveway access easement located along the north property line and blocked of his recreational vehicles with a wood fence in the rear of his lot. To date, no other written or verbal comments in support or against the applicant s development proposal have been received by the Planning Department. Recommended Motion: Approval of the Variance request to allow a proposed single family residential structure to encroach one foot, eleven inches (1-11 ) into the minimum required six (6) foot side yard setback and provide a four foot, one inch (4-1 ) side yard setback. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The applicant has paid the required fees.

Georgetown Planning Department Zoning Board of Adjustment Staff Report Meeting Date: October 20, 2015 File No: VAR-2015-007 Project Planner: Juan Enriquez, Planner Report Date: October 14, 2015 Relevant UDC Section: 6.03.050.A (Residential Single-Family District - Lot and Dimensional Standards) Staff Recommendation: Approval Item Description Public Hearing and possible action on a Variance request to Section 6.03.050.A (Residential Single-Family District - Lot and Dimensional Standards) of the Unified Development Code (UDC), to allow a proposed single-family residence to provide a four foot, one inch (4-1 ) side yard setback instead of the required minimum six (6) foot side yard setback on a 4,680 square foot undeveloped residential lot located within the Coffee Addition, Tract 1, Block 15, at 2106 San Jose Street. Item Details Project Name: 2106 San Jose Street Project Address: 2106 San Jose Street Legal Description: Coffee Addition, Tract 1, Block 15 Zoning: RS (Residential Single-family) Future Land Use: Moderate Density Residential Applicant: Property Owner: Contact: James Prince Prince Development, LLC James Prince Applicant Request The applicant, James Prince, is requesting approval for a Variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) to allow a proposed single family residential structure to encroach one foot, eleven inches (1-11 ) into the minimum required six (6) foot side yard setback and provide a four foot, one inch (4-1 ) side yard setback. Pursuant to Section 6.03.050.A (Residential Single- Family District - Lot and Dimensional Standards) of the UDC, there is a six (6) foot required minimum side yard setback between building structures and the property line. The subject site is located at 2106 San Jose Street on a 4,680 square foot undeveloped residential lot, and zoned Residential Single-Family (RS). 2106 San Jose Street Variance Side Yard Setback Page 1 of 8 Page 9 of 19

Zoning Board of Adjustment Staff Report Background The applicant recently submitted a complete building permit application packet for the construction of a single family residence including a front porch and attached rear covered patio. The packet included specific measurements for each item, drawings done to scale, and a copy of the site plan showing the building setback lines on the front, side and rear property lines. City staff issued a building permit based on the information in the submitted packet provided by the applicant. During the required inspection related to the building permit, a City building inspector discovered that the portion of the building on the north elevation was too close to the existing side property line, adjacent to a driveway/access easement. The applicant explained to City staff that the neighboring property with the driveway access to the rear lots may be deeded to the subject site in the future and thus considered both lots as one lot. The City building inspector then recommended that the applicant speak with Planning staff about possible solutions. After discussion with staff, it was determined that a Variance for a side yard setback was the only option due to the location of the existing north side property line. The applicant has stated that the substandard lot size of the property has affected the siting of the residential structure and therefore the need for the Variance. The subject site is considered a substandard residential lot since it does not meet the minimum lot size standard of the UDC. This lot was created in 1966 through a deed prior to the City s Subdivision Ordinance that became effective on May 10, 1977 and considered grandfathered from the current minimum lot size requirements. The subject property and the surrounding properties are older, and most are considered substandard due to their size creating challenges complying with some of the UDC development standards. If this lot was being created today, it would require a minimum 5,500 square foot total lot area in the Residential Single-Family zoning district. The subject property has a total lot area of 4,680 square feet. 2106 San Jose Street Variance Side Yard Setback Page 2 of 8 Page 10 of 19

Zoning Board of Adjustment Staff Report Review Criteria/Staff Analysis Staff has reviewed the applicant s request and justification for the side yard setback enroachment. Staff has determined that, in this case, there is a special circumstance applicable to the subject property due to the substandard lot size. The following are the pertinent sections of the UDC related to this request: 1. Section 3.15 Variance; see section below for review and approval criteria. 2. Section 6.03.050.A Minimum six (6) foot side yard setback for residential structures measured to the property line. The Unified Development Code, in Section 03.15.030, establishes the following criteria for Variance Review: A. Required Findings The Zoning Board of Adjustment may authorize a Variance from the requirements of the zoning provisions of this Unified Development Code if the variance from the terms of the zoning provisions is not contrary to the public interest and, due to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the requirements would result in unnecessary hardship, so the spirit of this Code is preserved, and substantial justice done. No Variance shall be granted unless the ZBA finds all of the following: 1. Extraordinary Conditions That there are extraordinary or special conditions affecting the land involved such that strict application of the provisions of this Unified Development Code will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of their land. For example, a Variance might be justified because of topographic or other special conditions unique to the property and development involved, while it would not be justified due to inconvenience or financial disadvantage. In this case, there is a special condition applicable to the subject property due to the lot size being 4,680 square feet and the RS zoning district minimum lot size being 5,500 square feet. The standard lot size for an average single-family residence is typically between 5,000 and 7,000 square feet. This lot was created in 1966 through a deed prior to the City s Subdivision Ordinance that became effective on May 10, 1977. The subject property and the surrounding properties are older and most are considered substandard due to their size and may have difficulties complying with some of the UDC development standards. In this case, the current setbacks created for a 5,500 2106 San Jose Street Variance Side Yard Setback Page 4 of 8 Page 12 of 19

Zoning Board of Adjustment Staff Report square foot lot may not be reasonable for a residential lot almost 1,000 square feet under the minimum required lot size. 2. No Substantial Detriment That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to other property in the area or to the City in administering this Code. The proposed project will not be injurious or detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or improvements in the vicinity because it is located within similar land uses within the Residential Single-Family zoning district designation and the site plan provides sufficient information to determine that the project meets all other development standards with the exception of the side yard setback along the north property line. The purpose of a side setback is to provide adequate lighting, insure privacy, and reduce fire hazards by having adequate distance between structures. Additionally, the fourteen foot (14 ) wide driveway and access easement (Williamson County Document No. 2015050515) along the north property line of the subject property serves as a buffer between the existing residential buildings located at 2104 San Jose Street and the proposed residence at 2106 San Jose Street. Therefore, the proposed project will provide adequate building separation between the residential structures and thus meeting the purpose and intent of the development regulations for setbacks. 3. Other Property That the conditions that create the need for the Variance do not generally apply to other property in the vicinity. There are other properties located within the surrounding neighborhood that may be considered substandard, and which are older as many were established through deeds prior to the City adopting its own Subdivision Ordinance in 1977. However, each property is reviewed on a case-by case basis as the circumstances and existing conditions of each lot may differ greatly. The approval of this Variance to provide a minimum setback of 4-1 for a side yard setback on the subject property will not set a precedent for other encroachments in the area, except for situations with the same exceptional and extraordinary circumstances. 4. Applicant s Actions That the conditions that create the need for the Variance are not the result of the applicant s own actions. 2106 San Jose Street Variance Side Yard Setback Page 5 of 8 Page 13 of 19

Zoning Board of Adjustment Staff Report Although there was an oversight by the applicant in terms of the property line location shown on the original building plans, the applicant did not create the substandard lot size that resulted in the need for the Variance request. The subject property was created through a deed in 1966 prior to the City s Subdivision Ordinance becoming effective on May 10, 1977. As previously mentioned, many of the lots in this neighborhood were deeded in the 1960s and do not meet some of the current lot requirements and may have difficulties complying with some of the UDC development standards. 5. Comprehensive Plan That the granting of the Variance would not substantially conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this Code. The proposed single family residence with the minimum required side yard encroachment is consistent with Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this Code. The Future Land Use designation of the subject property is Moderate Density Residential and this designation comprises of single family neighborhoods that can be accommodated at a density of 3.1 and 6 dwelling units per acre. The subject property is zoned RS and this district is where you typically find single-family development such as the residence being proposed by the applicant. Therefore, this project does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this Code. 6. Utilization That because of the conditions that create the need for the Variance, the application of this Code to the particular piece of property would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the utilization of the property. Although there was an oversight by the applicant in terms of the property line location, the applicant did not create the substandard lot, which was created through a deed in 1966 prior to the City s Subdivision Ordinance becoming effective on May 10, 1977. The buildable building width given the current setback standards on the subject site is 36 feet. A typical single-family residential building width ranges from 36-40 feet. With the Variance request, the applicant is proposing a 37-10 building width. Therefore, the Variance would provide the applicant reasonable use of the property and enjoy the same rights as other property owners within the same zoning districts. Technically, the applicant could still develop without the Variance; however, the space is limited for site design of a typical single family residence. A strict enforcement of the minimum six (6) foot side yard setback requirement would restrict the utilization of the subject property. 2106 San Jose Street Variance Side Yard Setback Page 6 of 8 Page 14 of 19

Zoning Board of Adjustment Staff Report 7. Insufficient Findings The following types of possible findings do not constitute sufficient grounds for granting a Variance: B. Limitations a) That the property cannot be used for its highest and best use. b) That there is a financial or economic hardship. c) That there is a self-created hardship by the property owner or their agent. d) That the development objectives of the property owner are or will be frustrated. The Zoning Board of Adjustment may not grant a Variance when the effect of which would be any of the following: 1. To allow the establishment of a use not otherwise permitted in the applicable Zoning District. 2. To increase the density of a use above that is permitted by the applicable District. 3. To extend physically a nonconforming use of land. 4. To change the Zoning District boundaries shown on the Official Zoning Map. C. Profitability Not to Be Considered The fact that property may be utilized more profitably should a Variance be granted may not be considered grounds for a Variance. Public Comments Per the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 200 foot radius of the project site were notified of the application, a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun Newspaper and a sign was posted on-site. The Planning Department received one verbal comment in opposition of the proposed project. The property owner at 2104 San Jose Street stated that the applicant removed the driveway access easement located along the north property line and blocked of his recreational vehicles with a wood fence in the rear of his lot. To date, no other written or verbal comments in support or against the applicant s development proposal have been received by the Planning Department. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends Approval of the Variance to encroach 1-11 inches in to the side yard setback along the north property line. 2106 San Jose Street Variance Side Yard Setback Page 7 of 8 Page 15 of 19

MEMO Date: 10/1/15 To: From: Re: BOA James Prince/Prince Development LLC Variance Request at 2106 San Jose Street Georgetown, Texas To Whom It Concerns: At this time, were asking for a side yard set-back variance on this lot in the amount of 1 11 as we currently only have 4 1 available to us. The conditions of this lot are slightly substandard in nature as it is only 48 wide. This being an older neighborhood, with most of the surrounding lots already being 50 or wider, this one seems to have been the left over lot that from those early partitions being made. If we were developing this lot today, we would of course hit the more standardized 50 lot size but we did not have that choice. The area of space in which the variance is being requested into, is an easement to a Non-Legal Lot situated behind this one and conveys with the property. There can be no structures ever built neither within the easement nor on the conveying lot and there is no parking allowed within the easement either. Even with the granted 1 11 variance, the home will still be almost 17 to the nearest Legal Lot to the north. We appreciate your time and consideration in the dyer request to provide some affordable housing to a family wanting to move in this year. Regards, James Prince Page 18 of 19
