V25-010 Public Hearing - Variance Request - V25-010 - Reduce the rear setback from 30 feet to 23 feet - Land Lot 702 - 2201 Goodwood Boulevard - Kara Stringer Ward 2 Councilmember - Latonia P. Hines Caitlin Crowe, Planner I, provided the following background for items V25-010 and V25- 011. Each item will be voted on separately: The applicant is seeking two variances for a deck replacement on the rear of the single- family townhome located at 2201 Goodwood Boulevard. Section 801 dictates the RTD rear setback and sets the maximum impervious surface area at 30% for any properties within the RTD zoning district prior to the Ordinance amendment in September 2022 (Ordinance 22-21). The subject parcel is a 0.06-acre lot located on the west side of Goodwood Boulevard within the Oakley Downs subdivision (see Figure 1). The subject parcel and all adjoining parcels are zoned RTD and are all occupied by single-family townhomes. The subject property is currently occupied by a single-family townhome and deck which is currently over the maximum impervious surface area by 11.5%. Staff were unable to locate permits for the original deck or variances to account for the location or increased impervious surface area. The applicant is proposing to replace the deck in the same location with a new 318 square foot deck and accompanying stairs. Since the original increase in impervious surface area and location of the deck occurred at least prior to 2012 and there is no addition of land disturbing activities or stormwater runoff with the current deck, the Engineering Department has determined that no remediation is required in order to support the variance.
