ZONING HISTORY
A single-family dwelling,built in 1940,is located on 2600 Bermuda Avenue, Lot 5A,as shown on
Exhibit 1. In1987,the current property owner purchased the propertywhich includedall but one
of the current accessory structures. The property owner erected the final accessory structurein
the rear of the propertyshortly after occupying the dwelling. In 2002 the current property owner
purchased 15416 Hanover Street where it appears a few of the accessory structures,enjoyed by
2600 Bermuda Avenue, encroach into this adjacent property. As such, currently thesetwo (2)
buildable lots are considered as one (1) zoning lot.
On December 15, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance relative to the size and setbacks for accessory buildings in residential districts.
Specifically, this amendment was intended to reduce the impact of very large accessory structures
on area residential developments to maintain a relationship in scale with the primary dwelling.
The resulting ordinance amendment limited the gross square footage of all accessory structures on
a lot so not to exceed that of the primary dwelling.
PROPOSAL
Conditional use planned development is requested to permit a reduction in the setback off
Bermuda Avenue for the replacement of a detached carport, and to permit this carport in
conjunction with other existing detached accessory structures to exceed the gross square footage
of the dwelling
Setbacks
The subject property is comprised of two buildable lots that together form a .7 acre zoning lot.
This request is being considered as a zoning lot due to the location of the accessory structures
within the boundaries of these two properties.Should these accessory structures be removed
orrelocated to accommodate ordinance setbacks, opportunity exists to allow for thetransfer
of the individual lots under separate ownership. As such, the setback exception under
consideration as described belowis based upon the more restrictive yard requirement as an
individual lot(front yard)rather than the less restrictive requirement as a zoning lot (corner
side yard).
The proposed detached carport is requested to be ten (10) feet from Bermuda Avenue; the
minimum required front yard setback is (80) feet. This seventy (70) foot exception isdesigned
to replace the previous carport at a location that will accommodate access for a motorized
vehicle on to an existing sidewalk and access ramp for entry intothe dwelling. The proposed
carportlocation at this reduced setbackdoes not appear to impactvisibility of an adjacent
driveway or sight distance from Bermuda Avenue.
517SN0533-2016SEP28-BOS-RPT
Accessory Structure Square Footages
The request property contains a principal dwelling (906 square feet in area) and four (4)
accessory structures (928square feet). The proposed carport is 420 square feet. Cumulatively,
the accessory structures equal 1,348 square feet, exceeding the gross square footage of the
principal dwelling by 442 square feet. While the accessory structures exceed ordinance
standards related to square footage allowed, the large lot size and multiple smaller buildings
reduces the visual impact of the cumulative square footage of the accessory structures.
The following is an overview of the R-7 building setbacksfor the proposed detached carport, both
as an individual lot (Front) and as a zoning lot (Corner Side),and the setback reduction which is
illustrated in Exhibit 1:
