Section 2: Variance Findings The Board must determine the existence of, sufficiency of, and weight of evidence supporting the find ings 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 find ings: Reasonable Use The zon ing regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because : The owner is unable to rebuild a detached garage in the same location where it existed for decades before being destroyed by fire. Current setback requ irements prohIbIt construction wittrin l11e prior footprint, despite lire str ucture l1avi119 tristoricall y functioned safel y and appropriately within the property lines and with minimal impact on existing trees. Rebuilding the garage in compliance with the c• irrent setback wo, Ild req, Iire removal or severe pn ming of two mature trees situated near the buHdable area and force it into the usable rear yard, impairing access, circulation, and compatibility with the site layout and limiting the property's functional residential use. Hardship a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: The hardship results from the specific placement of mature trees on the property, which limit the bu1ldable area for accessory structures . The pnor detached garage occupied its location for several decades and was destroyed by Tire. Reballdlng the garage In Its hlstorlcal locatlon Is the 01 ily feasible optior, ti rat a voids substa, rtial distui baI rce of ti re root zor res of 01 re heritage tree and WlO mature trees . Relocating the garage to meet the current setback would requ ire impact within those root zones b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: Many nearby properties within the West Austin Neighborhood Group area are larger or lack significant trees near therr srde property lines, allowing full compliance wrth current setback standards. Tire place11 1e11t o f 1t1ature trees 011 ttris lot creates a particular constraint not commo nly shared by other lots in the vicinity. Therefore, the hardship is specific to th is site and not a general condition of the neighborhood City of Austin I Board of Adjustment General/Parking V ariance Application 2/9/22 I Page 5 of 8 ITEM02/4Area 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: The rebu ilt garage will match the form, scale, and location of the original structure, which had existed for many years without negative impact to adjacent properties. Many neighboring properties in the area have similarly situated garages that do not meet current setbacks, as confirmed by the City's Property Profile tool. The requested variance will maintain the existing development pattern, preserve neighborhood character, and avoid unnecessary disturbance to site cond itions such as trees, impervious cover, or open space. Parking (additional criteria for parking variances only) Request for a parking variance requires the Board to make additional find ings. The Board may grant a variance to a regulation prescribed in the City of Austin Land Development Code Chapter 25-6, Append ix A with respect to the number of off-street parking spaces or loading facilities requ ired 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 requ ire strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specific regulation because: 2. The granting of th is 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 th is variance will not create a safety hazard or any other cond ition 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 I Board of Adjustment General/Parking V ariance Application 2/9/22 I Page 6 of 8 ITEM02/5Section 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.
