CASE NO: ZBA22-0015 PROJECT: 2407 Emerald Circle – SEU for Setback Reduction EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Alan Hughes is requesting a Special Exception Use, per Ord. No. 480, as amended,
Section 44.12(6) for a reduction in the required setback from property lines for a residential accessory building, to be located at Lot 3, Block 3, Emerald Estates
Addition, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 2407 Emerald Circle, Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. REQUEST: The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a Special Exception Use to permit a rear yard setback of 30’ when 40’ is required, and a side yard setback of 15’ when 20’ is required for a residential detached garage proposed on the site.
The applicant contends that the location of existing electrical utility lines and topographical issues closer to the house necessitate the location of the structure. The
reduction for each setback is 25% of the required setback. The proposed structure will be approximately 960 square feet and approximately 14.5’
in height. ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing. 2) Consider approval of the requested Variances. ATTACHMENTS: (A) Background Information (B) Vicinity Map
