Submitted By: Bethany Grubbs, Planner III
Executive Summary: The applicant is requesting a variance of 9.51 feet to allow a 0.49 setback from the rear property line for an existing 21.50-foot by 24-foot (516 sf2) covered playhouse. Section 158.217(C)(1) of the City’s Code of Ordinance states accessory uses or structures located within Single-Family Residential (RS-2) Zoning District shall have a minimum setback of ten (10) feet from the rear property line.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.
Planning and Zoning Board Action Options:
• Motion to approve
• Motion to approve with conditions
• Motion to deny
• Motion to table or continue the hearing or review to a future meeting
Background: See the attached staff report.
Issues/Analysis: See the attached staff report.
Special Consideration:
1. If the variance is approved, the property owner will be required to have the 10’ rear drainage and utility easement abandoned by the Public Works Department.
• Should the Board desire to approve the variance staff recommends conditioning the approval as follows:
The applicant shall obtain formal abandonment of the utility and drainage easement prior to obtaining a building permit, and within 120 days of the variance approval. If the applicant fails to comply with this condition the variance will be deemed null and void.
2. If the variance is approved, the property owner will be required to obtain a building permit for the structure.
• Failure of the applicant to obtain a building permit for the structure will cause the Code case to remain active.
Location of Project: 702 SW Abode Avenue, generally located south of Becker Road, east of Port St. Lucie Boulevard, and north of the County Line Canal.
