Specifically, less than 50’ of frontage for an SF-3 Lot. Hardship The existing SF-3 lot has 19,907 sqft of land area. There is enough land area to create 2 – SF-3 lots above 5,750 sqft and provide more housing opportunities to the neighborhood however, the available frontage along Clawson Road is 50 ft, which is 15 ft short of the required 65 ft (50’ Lot & 15’ Flag Lot). The subject tract is configured in such a way that it is large enough for two standard SF-3 lots, but not wide enough to provide the required 50’ of frontage. There are recent examples (including the neighbor directly across the street) where neighbors have subdivided their lots to provide more housing opportunities. The subject site is narrower and larger than most sites within a 500’ vicinity. Similarly sized properties across the street, in general, are 65’ wide and can be, (or have recently been) subdivided into two lots. The subject site is mostly surrounded by SF-3 lots but has an SF-5 lot north to it and an SF-6 across Clawson Dr. With this variance approved, the proposed lots would each be approximately 9,954 sf which meets the minimum lot area of SF-3 lots, and therefore, would not impair the use of adjacent conforming properties or purpose of the zoning regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located. Additionally, most of the SF-3 lots in the neighborhood exist between 6,500 and 10,000 square feet in land area. The proposed subdivision would match and meet COA’s zoning intent for this road. Council has been working on new code amendments that facilitate these types of development and create opportunities for missing middle housing. Without this variance, only 2 homes could be developed on a 19,907 sf lot. With this variance, 6 houses would be permitted. Area Character Reasonable Use _____________________________________________________________________________________ 501 N IH 35 # 209C Austin, Texas 78702 ITEM03/7I believe this request goes in line with Council’s priorities, that this variance is consistent with the general purpose of zoning regulations, and that it meets the intent of the latest zoning regulations and HOME amendments. Thank you for your consideration of this request; please call me at ( if you have any questions. Gerardo M. Martínez, P.E.
