Applicant: Drew Hall ______________________________________________________________________________ Case Overview The subject property is located in SF-10 (Single Family Residential District - 10) Zoning District. The applicant is requesting a variance from SF-10 lot width requirement to allow platting the two tracts into one (1) lot. The proposed lot will meet the lot depth requirement of 100 feet but does not meet lot width requirement of 60 feet. The proposed lot will be minimum 48 feet wide with the total lot area of 6,926 square feet. The proposed lot does not meet the minimum lot width requirement of minimum 60 feet. The applicant is requesting a variance from minimum lot width requirement. In order to plat the property the applicant will have to acquire variance from minimum lot width requirement The applicant is also requesting a variance of minimum side yard setback requirement through this application. Currently SF-10 zoning requires minimum 8 feet of side yard setback. The applicant intends to build a singlefamily home on the proposed lot with 6 feet of side yard setback instead of 8 feet as required by SF-10 standards. A similar variance request by Habitat for Humanity, from minimum lot width requirement for this same property was denied by Zoning Board of Adjustment in October 2018. Notification Response Form Staff mailed twelve (12) public hearing notices to the owners of properties within 200 feet of the subject property. We have received one (1) response in opposition to the proposed variance at the time of this report. Staff Recommendation The proposed variance application does not prove any unnecessary hardship. An unnecessary hardship is defined as: 1. Special conditions and circumstances exist, that are not contrary to the public interest, and which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district; 2. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this ordinance; 3. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; 4. That granting the variance request will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to properties, structures, or buildings in the same district; 5. No non- conforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in the same district and no permitted use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance; and 6. Financial hardship shall not be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance. Staff has found the requested variance will confer on the applicant special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to properties within the same district, and may seriously affect any adjoining property or the general welfare based on the information provided. This property is currently a non-conforming parcel and staff recommends DENIAL of the proposed variance. Actions for Zoning Board of Adjustment The Zoning Board of Adjustment should approve the requested variance from zoning regulations if it finds it to be in conformance with Section 41 (Zoning Board of Adjustment) of the City of Sanger Code of Ordinances, Chapter 14 – Planning and Zoning, Exhibit A – Zoning Ordinance of the City of Sanger Texas.
