V25-100 Public Hearing - Variance Request - V25-100 - Allow second accessory structure - Land Lot 485 - 3240 King Springs Road - William Cope Ward 3 Councilmember - Travis Lindley Caitlin Crowe, Land Development Services Coordinator, provided the following background: The subject parcel is a 0.32-acre lot on the west side of King Springs Road in the Cottages at King Springs subdivision (see Figure 1). The subject parcel and adjoining parcels to the north and south are zoned RDA whereas the adjacent parcels to the east and west are zoned R-15. All adjacent lots are occupied by single-family detached residences, with the exception of the parcel to the east, which is occupied by the City’s Brinkley Park. The property is currently occupied by a two-story single-family home, 84-foot shed, and 112 square foot in-ground swimming pool in the rear of the property. The swimming pool was permitted in 2020 with the stipulation that the shed in the rear would either be removed or a variance would be acquired for a second accessory structure. The applicant has since submitted an additional permit application (RBP-25-470) to extend the patio roof at the rear of the home. During plan review, it was discovered that the shed and pool are both still remaining on site without the proper variance. Once the applicant was alerted to the code violation, the variance application was submitted for the second accessory structure. The applicant is proposing to retain the shed and in-ground swimming pool in their current locations. Since the accessory structure ordinance allows one accessory structure or use per lot, a variance is required to have the second structure. Since the swimming pool and shed offer different uses for the property, the variance is not self-created.
