Staff Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of Certificate 5-B-21-IH as submitted.


Applicant Request

Driveways, parking pads, access point, garages or similar facilities

The lot in question is narrow and does not have an operable alley off which parking could extend. The proposal meets the design guidelines by locating the parking area (concrete driveway) to the rear of the primary house. The proposal allows the applicant to move forward with the proposed house footprint and design without exceeding impervious surface limits.


Site Info

Revision to site plan for parking modification. Proposal does not include modifications to house's elevations, front setback, or most details of site plan (approved by Design Review Board in February 2021, 2-B-21-IH). The site plan had exceeded the impervious surface limits of the base zoning (RN-2). Instead of an 18' by 18' concrete parking pad extending off Gloria Garner Street, the applicant is proposing a 10' wide by 35' long concrete driveway extending from Gloria Garner Street. The alley is not operable.
