To: From: Chair Leighton-Burwell Board of Adjustment Members Brent Lloyd Development Services Department Development Officer Date: February 1, 2021 Subject: Appeal of Building Plans Approved for Two-Family Residential Use at: 314 & 316 West 34th Street [Permit Nos. 2019-228104 & 2020-036229] The matter before the Board of Adjustment (“BOA”) is an administrative appeal challenging approval of revised building plans approved by the Development Services Department (“DSD”) on December 15, 2020, for a two-family residential use within the area covered by the North University Neighborhood Conservation Combining District (“NCCD”) (click here for ordinance text). The revised plans approved for both structures are attached for reference. Procedural Requirements for Appeal The appeal was timely filed by the Appellants on January 4, 2021, and is properly before the BOA for consideration. In acting on the appeal, the BOA may uphold, modify, or reverse the decision approving the revised building plans, as provided in City Code Sec. 25-1-192, based on whether they comply with applicable zoning regulations. While the appeal remains pending, building permits are suspended per City Code Sec. 25-1-187 and further action is stayed. Following resolution of the appeal, DSD will abide by the BOA’s interpretation of the applicable regulations both for the two applications at issue in this case and future applications involving the North University NCCD parking requirements. Summary of Issues & NCCD Provisions The primary issue before the Board can be summarized as follows: Under the North University NCCD, if an existing single-family use is converted into a two- family residential use by adding a second structure, how many onsite parking spaces are required where the existing structure has two bathrooms and the new structure includes three bathrooms? C-1/PRESENTATON-STAFF REP-1 As explained in more detail below, DSD staff approved the application with a total of four onsite parking spaces: The two spaces required by Chapter 25-6, Appendix A, of the Land Development Code, plus an additional two spaces. The appellants argue that five spaces were required and, therefore, that the permits were approved in error. The issue hinges on the following parking requirements imposed under Paragraphs J & K of the North University NCCD, at page 22: j. This section applies to a duplex or two-family residential use if there are at least five bathrooms in all buildings in which the use is located. An additional parking space is required for each new full bathroom constructed on the property. …
