MEMO TO: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT

SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA23-14A and
BZA23-14B
324 RUTH STREET
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2023
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property is developed as a one-story, 1,307 square foot single-family detached
residence on a 13,759 square foot (0.3158 acre) lot. The lot was platted in 1948 and it was
developed in 1950. The subject property was zoned “R-3”, Multiple-Family Dwelling District
prior to the 1984 City-wide Rezoning at which time it was rezoned to “R-12.5”, Single-Family
District.
In 1963, a multifamily development was constructed to the west of the subject site.
On October 18, 2011, City Council approved HL10-09 (Ord. 2011-58) designating this property
along with surrounding properties in the D. E. Box Addition as a Historic Landmark Subdistrict.
On March 9, 2018, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) approved CA18-32 to remove
existing composition shingles from the existing dwelling and replace them with laminated roof
shingles.
On July 26, 2023, the HPC approved CA23-45 to enclose the existing detached garage and to
construct a 2,057 square foot addition to the existing one-story residential dwelling and to
construct a new 541 square foot detached garage.
The application was submitted by Grant Kirchhoff, purchaser of the property.
REQUEST:
The applicant intends to expand the existing single-family detached residence by adding 2,057
square foot of living space and a 541 square foot detached garage.
BZA23-14A is a request for a special exception to allow the residential dwelling to remain as
developed along with an expansion, consisting of a 17-foot encroachment into the required side
yard setback for a reverse frontage lot adjacent to the south property line along East Worth
Street.
The subject site is a reverse frontage lot (see diagram below) which requires a 30-foot front
yard setback and a 30-foot side yard setback found in Subsection 42.D., Corner Lots of Section
42, Supplementary District Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. This subsection states that
corner lots, the side yard on the street side, when the rear yard of the subject site backs up to a
Agenda Item # 9
BZA23-14.4 2
front yard, shall have the same setback as the required front yard. The reverse frontage lot
regulations have been in effect since the 1970 Zoning Ordinance adoption and were carried
forward with the 1982 Zoning Ordinance which both occurred subsequent to the platting and
construction of the existing single-family residence. The existing residence was also built prior
to the 1984 City-wide Rezoning and currently encroaches into the required 30-foot side yard
setback by approximately 2-3 feet. When the original plat was filed in 1948 it was filed with a
10-foot side yard setback along the street side.
Reverse Frontage Lot Example:
BZA23-14B is a request for a variance to allow the residential dwelling to remain as developed
with a lot width of 83 feet.
The subject site does not meet minimum width for a reverse frontage lot found in Subsection
14.D.4, of Section 14, “R-12.5”, Single-Family District Limitation of Uses and Subsection 15.G.,
Lot Width of Subsection 15.G, Area Regulations, of Section 15, “R-7.5”, Single Family District
Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance that states that every reverse frontage lot have a
minimum width of 95 feet. The existing property has a width of 83 feet.
The following special exception is requested:
Section 43.E.3, Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning
Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming use. The
applicant is requesting a special exception to allow the residential dwelling to remain as
Agenda Item # 9
BZA23-14.4 3
developed along with an expansion, with a 17-foot encroachment into the required side yard
setback for a reverse frontage lot adjacent to the south property line along East Worth Street as
shown on the plot plan and the filed plat.
The following variance is requested:
Subsection 14.D.4, Limitation of Uses, of Section 14, “R-12.5”, Single Family District and
Subsection 15.G.4, Area Regulations, of Section 15, “R-7.5”, Single Family District. The
applicant is requesting a variance to allow the existing residential structure to remain as
developed with a lot width of 83 feet as shown on the plot plan and filed plat.
SPECIAL CONDITION:
Staff finds that a special condition exists for the requested variance. Specifically, the subject
property was platted in 1948 prior to the adoption of the city’s first zoning ordinance in 1955
when the reverse frontage requirements became effective and prior to the rezoning of the
property in the 1984 City-wide Rezoning to an “R-12.5”, Single-Family District. Currently and as
proposed, the site is not compliant with Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to reverse frontage
lots that require a minimum width of 95 feet.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff acknowledges the unique challenge of rigidly applying the Zoning Ordinance to the
subject site. The nonconforming lot width of 83 feet and the reverse frontage lot building
setback requirement of a 30-foot front yard along Ruth Street and East Worth Street
respectively, presents a challenge by encumbering the property for future development.
Nonetheless, the proposed expansion exacerbates the existing developed condition.
1. Staff recommends the Board of Zoning adjustment Deny a special exception (BZA23-
14A) to the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Subsection 43.E.3,
Nonconforming Uses and Structures to allow the residential dwelling to remain as
developed along with an expansion, consisting of a 17-foot encroachment into the
required side yard setback for a reverse frontage lot adjacent to the south property line
along East Worth Street as shown on the plot plan dated September 2023.
2. Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment Approve a variance (BZA23-14B) to
the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Subsection 14.D.4, Limitation
of Uses, of Section 14, “R-12.5”, Single Family District and Subsection 15.G.4, Area
Regulations, of Section 15, “R-7.5”, Single Family District to allow the existing property
width of 83 feet as shown on the plot plan dated September 2023.
