Local Government Code.
The Board of Adjustment here by approves the variance request based upon the following findings
of fact.
BOARD FINDINGS OF FACT:
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, provided there is no parking or driveway allowed along
Brame Street.
2. The request is to permit the new construction of residences which is not applicable with
regard to a non -conforming use. Duplexes and single-family residences are permitted by
right in the 2F District.
3. There are special or unique conditions of restricted area for the lots as a result of the prior
land division lot depth off of 16th Street. 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 new plat approval required for a building permit and
making it impossible to meet the lot depth requirements and front yard setback on the exterior
side lot area.
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 parcel lot depth was created as a part of the original land division approval
on NE 16th Street.
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 2F Zoning District without approval and not being
required to fully comply with the 25' exterior side front yard setback ordinance provisions.
This decision was filed in the Board's office on 6/7/2022.
