ALBERT L. TRIPLETT, JR, PLANNER II
SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA25-03
2837 PLACID CIRCLE
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, JULY 7, 2025
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property is developed with a two-story, 3,983 square foot single-family
detached residence on a 10,933 square foot (0.25 acre) lot. The lot was developed in
1993 and is platted as Block 4, Lot 40R1, Placid Peninsula Addition. The subject property
was zoned “R-1”, Single Family Dwelling prior to the 1984 City-wide Rezoning at which
time it was rezoned “R-7.5”, Single-Family District.
REQUEST:
The applicant intends to remodel the existing 3,983 square foot, residential dwelling and
to expand to a total of 4,541 square feet by adding indoor living space. BZA25-03 is a
request for a special exception to allow the existing residential dwelling to remain as
developed with an encroachment into the required rear yard. The proposed expansion
atop the existing attached garage/storage closet, meets the currently required rear yard
setback, adjacent to the south property line.
The following special exception is requested:
Subsection 15.G.2, Depth of rear yard of Section 15, “R-7.5”, Single-Family District
requires that each lot have a rear yard setback of 25 feet. The existing residential
structure is approximately 22 feet from the south property line and encroaches
approximately 3 feet into the required rear yard setback.
CONDITION:
The encroachment is located on the ground floor within the rear yard, adjacent to the
south property line, and consists of a two-car garage and storage closet, which were
converted from an attached carport. A residential addition permit was issued based on
an inaccurate plot plan; however, the project did not receive final approval. The addition
was completed without undergoing a final inspection. The current property owners were
not the owners when the addition was applied for and were never made aware of the
outstanding issue prior to their purchase of the dwelling. Currently, and as proposed, the
site is not compliant with Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to the 25 foot rear yard
setback requirement adjacent to the south property line.
Agenda Item # 9

RECOMMENDATION:

to remain as developed with an encroachment into the required rear yard setback

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property is developed with a two-story, 3,983 square foot single-family
detached residence on a 10,933 square foot (0.25 acre) lot. The lot was developed in
1993 and is platted as Block 4, Lot 40R1, Placid Peninsula Addition. The subject property
was zoned “R-1”, Single Family Dwelling prior to the 1984 City-wide Rezoning at which
time it was rezoned “R-7.5”, Single-Family District.
REQUEST:
The applicant intends to remodel the existing 3,983 square foot, residential dwelling and
to expand to a total of 4,541 square feet by adding indoor living space. BZA25-03 is a
request for a special exception to allow the existing residential dwelling to remain as
developed with an encroachment into the required rear yard. The proposed expansion
atop the existing attached garage/storage closet, meets the currently required rear yard
setback, adjacent to the south property line.
The following special exception is requested:
Subsection 15.G.2, Depth of rear yard of Section 15, “R-7.5”, Single-Family District
requires that each lot have a rear yard setback of 25 feet. The existing residential
structure is approximately 22 feet from the south property line and encroaches
approximately 3 feet into the required rear yard setback.
CONDITION:
The encroachment is located on the ground floor within the rear yard, adjacent to the
south property line, and consists of a two-car garage and storage closet, which were
converted from an attached carport. A residential addition permit was issued based on
an inaccurate plot plan; however, the project did not receive final approval. The addition
was completed without undergoing a final inspection. The current property owners were
not the owners when the addition was applied for and were never made aware of the
outstanding issue prior to their purchase of the dwelling. Currently, and as proposed, the
site is not compliant with Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to the 25 foot rear yard
setback requirement adjacent to the south property line.
