CASE NO: ZBA26-0011
PROJECT: 1102 Brazos Drive – Variance to Rear Yard Setback
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Wade and Patrice Miller are requesting a Variance to Section 14.5(d) requiring a
minimum rear yard setback of 40 feet, on property described as Lot 43, Block 1,
South Ridge Lakes Addition, and located at 1102 Brazos Drive, Southlake, Tarrant
County, Texas. Current Zoning: “SF-20A” Single Family Residential District. SPIN
Neighborhood #6.
REQUEST: The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a variance to Zoning Ordinance No.
480, as amended, Section 41.5(d), which requires a rear yard setback of not less than
40 feet in the “SF-20A” zoning district. The property is approximately 0.48 acres. The
applicant proposes to construct a two car garage addition adjacent to the existing
garage and measuring approximately 400 square feet (20 feet by 20 feet). The
proposed garage addition would be approximately 33 feet from the rear property line,
resulting in a variance of approximately 7 feet.
The roof eave of the proposed addition would be located approximately 13 feet from
the side property line. Although this district requires a 15 foot side yard setback,
Zoning Ordinance Section 33.6, Projections of Buildings, Structures, and
Appurtenances into Required Yards, permits roof eaves to project up to 30 inches into
a required side yard. The proposed eave projects approximately 18 inches and
therefore complies with the required side yard setbacks.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a Public Hearing
2) Consider Approval of a Variance
