LOCATION OF REQUEST: 2801 Pierce Street APPLICANT (S): OWNER (S): Josh Levy Same APPROXIMATE AREA: 12,422 sq. ft. (0.28 acres) PRESENT ZONING: Residential One (R-l) Jurisdiction All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to make a determination on this request. Location Map Subject Parcel I. REQUEST The property in question is located at 2801 Pierce Street. The applicant is requesting three separate variances: a 7.5 foot side yard setback variance; and a 7.5 foot rear yard setback variance; and a 200 square foot variance to the required maximum for a detached garage in the R-l district (Exhibit 1, Request). Each request will be analyzed separately. Section 26-115 of the Code of Laws specifies that the Community Development Director may review variance requests of up to 50 percent. The process starts with a ten-day posting period. If no objections are received during this period, and the variance criteria are being met, the request may be approved administratively without need for public hearing. The applicant is requesting three separate variances; all of which are within the 50 percent threshold. II. CASE ANALYSIS The property is 12,422 square feet in size (approximately 0.28 acres), and currently contains a single- family structure and detached garage. A site plan and building elevations plan have been submitted for review (Exhibit 2, Site Plan). The R-l zone district requires a minimum lot size of 12,500 square feet and a minimum lot width of 100 feet. The lot does not meet either of these standards. Further, the R-l zone district requires a minimum 15 foot rear yard and side yard setback for all detached structures. Request A: A 7.5 foot side vard setback variance for a detached l!aral!e. resultinl! in a 7.5 foot side vard setback. The applicant wishes to construct a new detached garage in the southwestern comer ofthe property. The garage would be located 7.5 feet from the side (southern) property line. The R-l district requires a minimum side yard setback of 15 feet for any detached structure. Request B: A 7.5 foot rear vard setback variance for a detached l!aral!e. resultinl! in a 7.5 foot rear vard setback. The applicant wishes to construct a new detached garage in the southwestern comer of the property. The garage would be located 7.5 feet from the rear (western) property line. The R-l district requires a minimum side yard setback of 15 feet for any detached structure. Request C: A 200 square foot iucrease to the maximum allowable size of a detached l!aral!e. resultinl! in a 1.200 square foot l!aral!e. The applicant wishes to construct a new 1,200 square foot detached garage. The maximum size of a detached garage in the R-l district is 1,000 square feet. The garage would contain space for automobiles and a workshop area. IV. VARIANCE CRITERIA Each request must be discussed separately, complete with separate motions. Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a variance request: Request A: 7.5 Foot Side Yard Setback Variance 1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. Community Development Director WA-07-11lLevy 2 If the request is denied, the property may still receive a reasonable return in use. The property currently has a detached garage, albeit somewhat dilapidated. A new garage could be constructed which meets the setback regulations. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. If the request were granted, the character of the locality would most likely not be altered. The neighborhood is comprised mostly of single family structures and associated outbuildings. Many of the existing outbuildings do not meet the current setback regulations. The setback regulations were changed in 2003 for all zone districts, except the R-l district. The regulations were changed to require a larger setback (10 feet) for taller detached structures. The R-l zone district did not benefit from these changes. 3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property. The applicant would demolish an existing dilapidated garage and would replace it with a new garage. The new location for the garage would not comply with the existing setback regulations; however, a portion of the rear yard would be preserved. Given the deficient lot width, it may be difficult to locate a conforming garage in the rear yard. The house is located towards the north end of the lot. A conforming garage would need to be located towards the northern end of the lot for turning radius purposes. This would remove almost all open space in the rear yard, as the driveway would need to be extended further north. 4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property involved results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out. The lot is relatively flat, and does not have a unique shape. The lot is approximately 85 feet in width; a standard lot in the R-l zone district is 100 feet. The deficient lot width directly relates to the need for a decreased side yard setback. 5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. A person who has interest in the property has not created the hardship. The hardship stems from the deficient lot width and lot size. 6. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. The request would not be detrimental to the public welfare nor would it impair development of adjacent properties. The adequate supply of light and air would not be compromised as a result of Community Development Director WA-07-11lLevy 3 the request. The request would not increase congestion in the streets, nor increase the danger of fire. The request would most likely not have an effect on property values in the neighborhood. 7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. Some of the adjacent lots in the neighborhood are deficient in width and size as well. Many ofthe adjacent lots are also zoned R-l. The unique circumstances are not limited to this property, and therefore granting the variance would not be out of character. There was one variance granted for deficient lot width across Pierce Street in 1972. The variance allowed the construction of a single family home, despite the deficient lot width. 8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. The request would not result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. 9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. Single family homes are exempt from the requirements ofthe Manual. Request B: 7.5 Foot Rear Yard Setback Variance 1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. If the request is denied, the property may still receive a reasonable return in use. The property currently has a detached garage, albeit somewhat dilapidated. A new garage could be constructed which meets the setback regulations. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality.

Request C: Variance to Increase Maximum Size of Detached Garage 1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. Community Development Director WA-07-11lLevy 5 The property could receive a reasonable return without the variance. A 1,000 square foot detached garage is allowed in this zone district. The applicant could construct a smaller garage. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. Granting the variance would most likely not alter the character of the locality. The neighborhood is comprised ofR-l and R-2 zoned properties. While the R-l zone district allows a maximum detached garage of 1,000 square feet, the R-2 district allows the ability for a 2,000 square foot garage. Additionally, there appear to be a few garages in the neighborhood which appear to be larger than 1,000 square feet in size. 3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property. It should be noted that the investment can occur without need for the variance. A smaller garage could be constructed which does not violate the development standards of the R-l zoning district. 4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property involved results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out. The property is rectangular in shape, and is relatively flat. The lot does not meet the minimum lot size or width standards in the R-l zone district. The size and shape of the lot have no bearing on this request. 5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. The property owner wishes to build a larger garage. It can be argued that the hardship is self imposed. 6. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, impairing the adequate supply oflight and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. The request would not be detrimental to the public welfare nor would it impair development of adjacent properties. The adequate supply of light and air would not be compromised as a result of the request. The request would not increase congestion in the streets, nor increase the danger of fire. The request would most likely not have an effect on property values in the neighborhood. 7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. The applicant wishes to increase the allowable size of a detached garage. While the deficient lot width and lot size do not directly correlate to the request, it should be noted that there do appear to be other garages in the neighborhood which exceed 1,000 square feet in size. Community Development Director WA-07-11lLevy 6 8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. The request would not result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. 9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. Single family homes are exempt from the requirements of the Manual. V. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Staff concludes that the variance requests should not have a negative effect on surrounding properties, and that the requests are directly related to the sub-standard lot size in the zone district. Additionally, there are many surrounding detached structures located within the required setback area on adjacent lots. Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL of Case No. WA-07-11 (A), (B) and (C). A separate determination is required for each request, and the requests can be approved or denied independent of each other. Request A: 7.5 Foot Side Yard Setback Variance Staff concludes that the criteria are supportive of the variance request; therefore staff recommends approval of Case No. W A-07-07 (A), a request for approval of a 7.5 foot side yard setback variance resulting in a 7.5 foot side yard setback for property located at 280 I Pierce Street, for the following reasons: 1. The reduced side yard setback would not be out of character with the neighborhood. Many adjacent properties have detached structures which do not meet the current setback regulations. 2. The property does not meet the minimum lot width or lot size standards in the R-l zone district. These deficiencies directly relate to the need for reduced side yard setback. 3. The request would not be detrimental to the public welfare, and would not, among others, impair the adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Pursuant to Section 26-115 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, the Community Development Director has the authority to make a decision on the variance request. The property has been properly posted and mailing notices have been distributed. In recognition that there have been no protests registered within the ten-day comment period, and based upon the above conclusions and evidence stated, variance Request "A" is hereby approved. o With Conditions B( ;J/;.5/0 7 Date Request B: 7.5 Foot Rear Yard Setback Variance Staff concludes that the criteria are supportive of the variance request; therefore staff recommends approval of Case No. WA-07-07 (B), a requestfor approval ofa 7.5 foot rear yard setback variance resulting in a 7.5 foot rear yard setback for property located at 280 I Pierce Street, for the following reasons: 1. The reduced side yard setback would not be out of character with the neighborhood. Many adjacent properties have detached structures which do not meet the current setback regulations.

The request would not be out of character with the neighborhood. Many of the surrounding properties have the ability to construct a garage in excess of 1,000 square feet, and at least one garage on an adjacent property has a detached garage in excess of 1,000 square feet. 2. The request would not be detrimental to the public welfare, and would not, among others, impair the adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties. 3. A larger garage would eliminate the need for a storage shed on the property, thereby consolidating outbuildings. Pursuant to Section 26-115 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, the Community Development Director has the authority to make a decision on the variance request. The property has been properly posted and mailing notices have been distributed. In recognition that there have been no protests registered within the ten-day comment period, and based upon the above conclusions and evidence stated, variance Request "c" is hereby approved. o With Conditions l'tf cf Js/o 7 Date Community Development Director WA-07-11/Levy 8 7500 West 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 303/235-2846 Fax: 303/235-2857 The City of Wheat Ridge August 1, 2007 This is to inform you of Case No. W A-07-11, a request for approval to increase the maximum size of a garage by 200 square feet, a 7.5 foot side yard setback variance and a 7.5 foot rear yard setback variance for a detached garage on property zoned Residential- One (R-1) and located at 2801 Pierce Street.

In order to achieve maximum usage on my long, narrow property I will need some variances made on the R1 zoned building requirements. The typical R1 property has a width of at least 100' whereas mine measures in at 85'. The narrow nature of this R1 zoned property creates a spacial hardship when wanting to make improvements without eating up the majority of a very nice back yard. The current setback limit is 15' which simply wouldn't make sense on this particular property. The majority of the properties on my block have buildings that sit within 6' of the property line. If I were to build by the standard it would simply look out of place and render a large chunk of my property as useless. The new design would cover a footprint of 1200 square feet with a dropped foundation in the rear which will allow for ample storage and a nice craft spacelworkshop. I want to stay here for a long time and have always dreamt of having a big garage where I can work with my hands. My understanding is that I will need variances made on three different standards; 1) Increase the size limit from 1000 sqm to 1200 sqm 2) Decrease the side setback limit from 15' down to 7.5' 3) Decrease the back setback limit from 15' down to 7.5' If you notice any other areas in need of a variance please feel free to go ahead and give me some clearance. I hope this process can go smoothly so I can get a good start on it before I head back to work in the fall. Thank you for your consideration. c w w c ~ z ~ 0:: ~ b~ z;. .~ 5D. o~ U~ Q)N Q; ~.fQ Q) - -enc o en !':' ....J~O> _....0 . :c-g.g <(-'" o ~O .
