Local Government Code.
The Board of Adjustment here by approves the variance request based upon the following findings
of fact.
BOARD RECOMMENDED FINDINGS
1. The request for variance is harmony with the general purposes and intent of Zoning
Ordinance No. 1710, as amended, and will not negatively impact the protection for the
adjacent surrounding property.
2. The request is to permit the new construction of residences which is not applicable with
regard to a non -conforming use. Triplexes are permitted by right in the MF -1 District.
3. There are special or unique conditions of restricted area for the lots as a result of the prior
plat approval of the land in the subdivision. This is not generally applicable to other parcels
of land in the same zoning district under new platting and development standards. This has
caused an unusual and practical difficulty to be in compliance with the provisions sought
here to be varied as a result of the original plat approval making it nearly impossible to meet
the front yard setback.
4. The hardship sought to be avoided is not the result of (a) the applicant's own actions (self-
imposed or self-created although unintentional), and (b) an economic or financial hardship.
The substandard parcels were created as a part of the original plat approval by the City and
initial subdivision developer.
5. The provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1710, and its amendments, that are sought to be
varied would deprive the applicant of the normal rights to use the property that is commonly
enjoyed by other properties in the same MF -1 Zoning District without approval and not being
required to fully comply with the front yard setback ordinance provisions.
This decision was filed in the Board's office on 6/7/2022.
