For Office Use Only If more space is required, Section 1: Applicant Statement 4013 Clawson Rd, Austin, TX 78704 Being 0.45 of an acre of land out of lots 25, 26 and 27, Bannister Heights Subdivision According to the Map or Plat Thereof Recorded in Vol 3, Page 256 ... Doc # 2016071699 Bannister Heights Chris Paladino 4013 Clawson Road LLC March 5 2020 future residential (repeat of previously approved C15-2017-0065) I-2/4Portion of the City of Austin Land Development Code applicant is seeking a variance from: ____________________________________________________________________________ 25-2-492, minimum width requirement of 50' for SF-3 lot. Applicant requests permission to ____________________________________________________________________________ subdivide previously-unplated property into two lots: a "front" lot with a minimum 34.8' width (at ____________________________________________________________________________ rear of new lot) and a "rear" lot that will remain minimum 49.82' wide as currently set. The "rear" ____________________________________________________________________________ lot will be accessible to Clawson Road via a 15'-wide "flag". Section 2: Variance Findings The Board must determine the existence of, sufficiency of, and weight of evidence supporting the findings described below. Therefore, you must complete each of the applicable Findings Statements as part of your application. Failure to do so may result in your application being rejected as incomplete. Please attach any additional supporting documents. NOTE: The Board cannot grant a variance that would provide the applicant with a special privilege not enjoyed by others similarly situated or potentially similarly situated. I contend that my entitlement to the requested variance is based on the following findings: Reasonable Use The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: ____________________________________________________________________________ SF-3 zoning contemplates a density of eight primary residences and eight secondary ____________________________________________________________________________ residences per acre. Subject property is 19,602 sf / 0.45 acres in size, over three times the ____________________________________________________________________________ minimum SF-3 lot size required by the LDC. Thus, a reasonable use for this property is ____________________________________________________________________________ subdivision into at least two lots. However, subject property line at the street is 50.03' wide at ____________________________________________________________________________ the front proerty line and 49.82' wide at the rear property line. Therefore, without a variance, ____________________________________________________________________________ subject property can only contain one primary residence and one secondary residence on a half ____________________________________________________________________________ acre, a density that is 1/4 of what is permitted and contemplated by the LDC. Hardship a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: ____________________________________________________________________________ Subject property is the narrowest property of its size in the vicinity. Similarly-sized properties ____________________________________________________________________________ across the street are, in general, 65' wide, which could be (and have been) subdivided in the ____________________________________________________________________________ manner that the Applicant proposes for the subject property. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: ____________________________________________________________________________ Subject property is the narrowest property of its size in the vicinity. Similarly-sized properties ____________________________________________________________________________ across the street are, in general, 65' wide, which could be (and have been) subdivided in the ____________________________________________________________________________ manner that the Applicant proposes for the subject property. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ City of Austin | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application 09/11/2015 | Page 5 of 8 I-2/5Area Character The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: ____________________________________________________________________________ Only one of the proposed four housing units that could be built (two primary and two secondary) ____________________________________________________________________________ will front Clawson Road, thus maintaining the "single family" character of the streetscape. The ____________________________________________________________________________ remainder of the housing units will be accessible via a common driveway. LDC-compliant ____________________________________________________________________________ parking will be provided onsite for each housing unit, and will follow whatever LDC rules are in ____________________________________________________________________________ place at the time a lot owner applies for a building permit. The units will also comply with all ____________________________________________________________________________ applicable provisions of the Residential Design and Criteria Manual at the time of permit. Parking (additional criteria for parking variances only) Request for a parking variance requires the Board to make additional findings. The Board may grant a variance to a regulation prescribed in the City of Austin Land Development Code Chapter 25-6, Appendix A with respect to the number of off-street parking spaces or loading facilities required if it makes findings of fact that the following additional circumstances also apply: 1. Neither present nor anticipated future traffic volumes generated by the use of the site or the uses of sites in the vicinity reasonably require strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specific regulation because: ____________________________________________________________________________ N/A ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 2. The granting of this variance will not result in the parking or loading of vehicles on public streets in such a manner as to interfere with the free flow of traffic of the streets because: ____________________________________________________________________________ N/A ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 3. The granting of this variance will not create a safety hazard or any other condition inconsistent with the objectives of this Ordinance because: ____________________________________________________________________________ N/A ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 4. The variance will run with the use or uses to which it pertains and shall not run with the site because: ____________________________________________________________________________ N/A
