901 La Salle Lane – SEU for Accessory Building Setback Reduction
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY:
REQUEST:
Pradeep Bodige, 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 structure, to be located at Lot 29, Block 9, Carillon Phase 5A, an
addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 901 La Salle
Lane, Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas.
The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a Special Exception Use to permit a
reduction in the rear yard setback by permitting a portion of an eave to encroach into
the required setback. Eaves on accessory structures may only encroach into a setback
by one (1) foot. The applicant is requesting that a small portion of a corner encroach
as much as two (2) feet. Detailed renderings are provided showing this additional one
foot encroachment in red.
The applicant came before the board for an SEU in April. (ZBA23-0009) However, the
applicant withdrew the item and has been working with the Building Inspections
department through the permitting process. The applicant proposes this new design which
brings the structure much closer to conformance. The original proposal was for a setback
reduction from ten (10) feet to five (5) feet. At that time the structure was already
constructed and will be altered upon the ZBA’s decision in this case.
Due to Zoning Standards for roof eave encroachments, a clear motion is needed to
distinguish the roof from the rest of the structure. If the ZBA is amenable to the request,
staff requests that a specific motion be made to only allow the roof of the structure to
be as close as 8’ to the property line as shown in the renderings provided, and any
other portion of the structure shall not encroach into any required setback.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing.
2)Consider approval of the requested SEU.

The findings necessary for the Board to approve a Special Exception Use
Permit are below:
1) No special exception shall be granted unless the Board finds that the
requested exception is specifically permitted by the zoning ordinance;
2) That the location of the proposed activities and improvements is
clearly defined on the concept plan or plot plan, and
3) That the special exception is wholly compatible with the use and
permitted development of adjacent properties either as filed or subject
to such limitations and requirements as the board deems to be
necessary to protect adjacent properties.
