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: The lot is 14,027-SF with a 1954 home. We are subdividing the property into two lots. We ____________________________________________________________________________ would like to preserve the existing home. But as per code, the required lot width will make ____________________________________________________________________________ the existing home within the new 10-FT rear setback because the back of the home will be ____________________________________________________________________________ 9’-4” from the rear property line. Please see attached Exhibit A. We are requesting a variance ____________________________________________________________________________ from the 10-FT rear setback to allow for the 8” encroachment. This actually is an ____________________________________________________________________________ improvement over the 5’-7” encroachment of the garage into the existing rear setback (see ____________________________________________________________________________ Exhibit B). ____________________________________________________________________________ Hardship ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: The subdivision for this property uniquely has the the existing home to be within 8” of compliance; in addition, the surrounding properties have numerous similar encroachments. We are not asking for extra FAR or impervious cover. The only reason for this variance is to allow us to keep the existing home that will encroach into the new 10’ setback. This will be less of an encroachment than the existing garage is at now, which is encroaching 5’-7” into the 10-FT rear setback. b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: Several of the properties in the area are less than 10-FT from the rear lot line. See Exhibit C. ____________________________________________________________________________ In fact, our lot itself is not complying with the rear setback in its original configuration with ____________________________________________________________________________ the detached garage at 4.4’ per survey (4’-5”) from the rear lot line. See Exhibit B. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ City of Austin | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application 2/9/22 | Page 5 of 8 F-3/4Area 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: Several of the properties within blocks is not complying with their rear setback. See Exhibit C. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 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: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ City of Austin | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application 2/9/22 | Page 6 of 8 F-3/5Section 3: Applicant Certificate I affirm that my statements contained in the complete application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
