BACKGROUND:
The Ednam property was rezoned from R-1 Residential ("R-1 ") to Residential Planned Neighborhood ("RPN") on June 2,
1976. Section D of the development contains 12 single-family attached dwelling units that lie on the western side of
Worthington Drive and are adjacent to a set of office buildings in the Ednam Business District (Attachment A). The
applicant purchased a dwelling on June 5, 2014 and is proposing to enclose an existing rear patio (Attachment B). The
footprint of the existing patio would not change, however enclosing the area would encroach on the 50 foot building
setback from the rear property line (Attachment C).
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 5: Ensure the health and safety of the community.
DISCUSSION:
This variation allows for an already existing patio to be enclosed without encroaching into the rear setback. See
Attachment D for staff analysis. Other property owners in Section D have also enclosed their rear porches in a
substantially similar manner, but were able to do so without encroaching into the setback. Additionally, this proposal
has the support of adjacent property owners (see Attachment E).
BUDGET IMPACT:
No budget impact will result from authorizing this special exception.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the Special Exception to vary the setback requirement in the approved
rezoning application plan by allowing a 40 foot rear setback for Lot 3, Section D of Ednam.
