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: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Hardship a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ I am requesting a variance from the Land Development Code Section 25-2-774 Two FamilyResidential Use for a SF-3-NP residential property for the requirement of the ADU to be at least10' to the rear or side of the principal structure be changed to allow for the existing 6'-7 5/8" toremain and for the requirement to be above a detached garage not to apply to this lot.Building an accessory dwelling unit between the 10' offset and 5' side-yard setback results in an8'-8 3/4" outside to outside / 7'-5" interior wide ADU and a limitation of 278.5 SF of buildableground floor area.The location of the existing house and protected tree on the site, and inability to connect adriveway to the existing detached garage structure due to impervious cover limitations on thislot.The location of the detached garage and protected tree is unique to this lot.G-5/7Area 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: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 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: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 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: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 3. The granting of this variance will not create a safety hazard or any other condition inconsistent with the objectives of this Ordinance because: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 4. The variance will run with the use or uses to which it pertains and shall not run with the site because: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ The new ADU will not extend beyond any side or rear yard setbacks or be tall enough to breachthe Subchapter F Tent limitations. We are only asking to build a new ADU that keeps theexisting distance between the house and storage building as-is.G-5/8Sarah Haynie12/11/202012/11/2020G-5/9Address: 3708 Robinson Avenue, Austin Texas 78722 Applicant: Joel Nolan OVERVIEW OF REQUEST Land Development Code 25-2-774 Two Family Residential Use C2a.
