CASE NO: A-07-013 Board of Adjustment – April 2, 2007
Applicant: Josephine G. Esparza
Owner: Josephine G. Esparza
Request(s): A Special Exception to relocate a residential structure from 11233 Loop 107 to 1110 Linden Avenue
Legal Description: Lots 8 and 9, Block 14, NCB 8006
Address: 1110 Linden Avenue
Zoning: “R-6” Residential Single-Family District
Existing Use: Vacant
Neigh. Assoc: None
Neigh. Plan: None
Section of the City Code from which this Special Exception is requested Section 35-399.03 Relocation of Buildings and Structures: The relocation of any residential building or structure shall not be undertaken unless and until a special exception is approved by the Board of Adjustment.
Background: The subject property is located in a mixed-use neighborhood located southwest of Downtown. Single-family residential uses are found along the local streets, while residential, commercial and industrial uses are found along the collector and arterial streets. The subject parcel is situated on the south side of Linden Avenue between Priscilla and Votaw Streets. The lots to the north, south, and west are occupied by single-family residences. The lot to the east is zoned for a single-family residence but is currently vacant. The structure proposed to be moved is approximately 900 square feet in gross floor area and the inspector reported this building to be structurally sound to be moved. This structure is proposed to be used as a single-family dwelling.
Recommendation: The following attributes characterize the majority of existing single-family homes in the area:
• Horizontal Siding (Wood or Synthetic Material) • Gable Roofs • Covered Front Porches or Entryways with Doors that Face the Street
(Please see attached spreadsheet for additional details)
Staff finds the structure proposed to be moved to be similar in style and scale to the other single-family homes in the area. The applicant has submitted a plan for interior and exterior improvements that, once completed, will bring the condition of the structure proposed to be moved inline with the other homes in the area. As a condition of this Special Exception request, the applicant has agreed to make all repairs necessary to bring the structure into compliance with all applicable City Codes within 90 days. Staff recommends approval of this Special Exception request. Case Manager: Michael Taylor, Planner II (210) 207-0132

CASE NO: A-07-024 Board of Adjustment – April 2, 2007
Applicant: Roberto Casares
Owner: Roberto Casares
Request(s): A 3-foot variance from the requirement that solid screen fences in front yards be no taller than 3 feet, in order to erect a 6-foot tall solid screen fence in the front yard
Legal Description: Lot 1, Block 119, NCB 15273
Address: 5574 Cool Valley
Zoning: “NP-8” Neighborhood Preservation District
Existing Use: Single-family residence
Neigh. Assoc: People Active in Community Effort/Valley Forest Neighborhood Association
Neigh. Plan: United Southwest
Section of the City Code from which this variance is requested 35-514 Fences and Walls: No fence or wall, other than the wall of a permitted structure, shall be erected or altered in any front yard to exceed a height of 4 feet with the fence or wall to be so constructed that vision will not be obscured above a height of 3 feet.
Background: The subject property is located in an established residential single-family subdivision and is occupied by a single-family residence. The subject property is an irregular shaped corner lot situated on the southeast corner of Cool Valley and Crystal Valley, south of Medina Base Road, north of Ray Ellison Boulevard. An adjoining lot, Lot 35 (5563 Crystal Valley), to the south of the subject property, creates reverse frontage for this lot, which means the subject property has two front yards: one on Cool Valley and one on Crystal Valley. Fence height limits apply to both front yards. Recommendation: The intent of the maximum fence height requirement in front yards is to allow for desired property delineation while maintaining equally desired openness, air flow, light penetration, neigborhood uniformity and safe visual clearance. The reverse frontage is a physical condition where it appears that literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship. Additionally, since the proposed fence location will not create a visual obstruction, and the intersecting streets appear to provide the desired openness, a variance would observe the spirit of the ordinance. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the requested variance. Case Manager: David Arciniega, Planner II (210) 207-6944

The subject lot is situated on the northwest side of East Laurel Street, just northwest of the intersection of East Laurel Street, Kendall Street and Wilmington Avenue. Single-family residences surround. Low density multi-family residential, consisting of duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes, may be found just beyond the immediate vicinity of the subject property. On December 21, 2006, the applicant received a citation for constructing an accessory detached dwelling unit in the rear yard without obtaining required building permits. The applicant submitted building plans for Departmental review on February 27, 2007. This initial plan review was denied, in part, because as constructed, the accessory detached dwelling unit encroaches 2 feet into the required side setback and 2 feet into the required rear setback. Recommendation: The intent of the side and rear setback requirements for accessory detached dwelling units is to allow for air flow, light penetration, neighborhood uniformity, and to prevent the overcrowding of lots to maintain a reasonable amount of open space desired in single-family residential neighborhoods. While the City encourages reinvestment in existing neighborhoods and the creation of accessory dwelling units in single-family residential zoning districts, any new structure should be built in accordance with development regulations to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. This parcel does not appear to be characterized by any unique terrain features where literal enforcement of the setback requirements would result in unnecessary hardship. Staff recommends denial of the requested variances.

CASE NO: A-07-026 Board of Adjustment – April 2, 2007
Applicant: John M. Neugebauer
Owner: D & R Development, Ltd.
Request(s): A 26-foot variance from the minimum 30-foot rear setback required in “C-2” and “C-3” zoning districts when abutting a residential use or residential zoning district, in order to construct a building 4 feet from the rear lot line
Legal Description: Lot 93, Block 67, NCB 15910
Address: 10042 Potranco Road
Zoning: “C-2” General Commercial District and “C-3R” General Commercial Restricted Alcoholic Sales District
Existing Use: Vacant
Neigh. Assoc: None
Neigh. Plan: None
Section of the City Code from which this variance is requested Section 35-310 Zoning District Purpose Statements and Design Regulations: A minimum 30-foot rear setback is required in “C-2” and “C-3” zoning districts when abutting a residential use or residential zoning district.
Background: The subject property is located in a developing commercial node on the City’s far west side. This lot is situated on the southeast corner of the intersection of Potranco Road and Fillmore Drive. The large parcel to the north is zoned for commercial use but is currently vacant. The lot to the west is occupied by a gasoline filling station. The lot directly to the south is zoned for residential use and is currently vacant. The large lot to the south and east is primarily zoned for residential use with the northern strip along Potranco zoned for commercial use. This lot is the future location of a proposed church. In 2006, the owner of the subject property entered into an agreement with the owner of this lot to jointly establish, construct and maintain a privately held ingress/egress easement. The owner of the subject lot purchased a portion of the lot to the south for construction of this ingress/egress easement.
The applicant is proposing to construct 16,320 square feet of retail space on the subject property. As planned, a portion of the single building would be constructed within 4 feet of the rear lot line, thereby encroaching into the 30-foot rear setback. Recommendation: The intent of the rear setback requirement for commercial uses is to help provide a reasonable buffer to protect abutting residences from the noise, light, and traffic typically generated by commercial uses, to allow for air flow and light penetration, and to prevent the overcrowding of lots. Due to unique conditions, a literal enforcement of the rear setback requirement would, in this case, result in unnecessary hardship. The owner of the subject property and the owner of the abutting lot have entered into a development agreement that calls for the establishment and maintenance of a 30-foot ingress/egress easement. The Unified Development Code does not require a rear setback be maintained when property zoned “C-2” or
Page 2 of 2
“C-3” abuts a public alley or other public right-of-way. The jointly owned 30-foot ingress/egress easement will provide a separation of uses in a manner similar to a public alley while the perpetual nature of the development agreement ensures the easement will be retained. Even though this 30-foot easement is located on abutting lots and not the subject lot, it will ensure all future structures are located more than 30 feet from the shopping center. Staff recommends approval of the requested variance.

Request(s): 1) a 5-foot variance from the requirement that solid screen fences in front yards be no taller than 3 feet, in order to erect an 8-foot tall solid screen fence in the front yard, and 2) a 2-foot variance from the requirement that solid screen fences in side yards be no taller than 6 feet, in order to erect an 8-foot tall solid screen fence in the side yard

Address: 605 Kendall Street
Zoning: “MF-33” Multi-Family District
Existing Use: Duplex
Neigh. Assoc: Tobin Hill Neighborhood Association
Neigh. Plan: Tobin Hill
Section of the City Code from which this variance is requested 35-514 Fences and Walls: No fence or wall, other than the wall of a permitted structure, shall be erected or altered in any front yard to exceed a height of 4 feet with the fence or wall to be so constructed that vision will not be obscured above a height of 3 feet and no fence or wall, other than the wall of a permitted structure, shall be erected or altered in any side or rear yard to exceed a height of 6 feet. Background: The subject property is located in an established residential single-family and multi-family neighborhood and is occupied by two seperate dwellings units. This property is situated on the northwest corner of Kendall Street and East Dewey Place, between North St. Marys Street and McCullough Avenue, north of IH 35 North. Residential zoning and uses exist to the north, south and west, while commercial zoning lies to the east. Recommendation: The intent of the maximum fence height requirement in front yards is to allow for property owner desired property delineation while also achieving openness, air flow, light penetration, neighborhood uniformity and safe visual clearance. There do not appear to be special physical or topographic conditions on the subject property where literal enforcement of the front yard fence height limitations would result in unnecessary hardship. Staff recommends denial of the requested variance to erect an 8-foot tall solid screen fence in the front yard.
The intent of the maximum fence height requirement in side and rear yards is to allow for property owner desired privacy while also acheiving openness, air flow, light penetration and neighborhood uniformity. There do not appear to be special physical conditions where literal enforcement of the fence height limitations would result in unnecessary hardship. With no apparent difference in elevation along the side yard, a 6-foot tall fence would appear to provide sufficient screening. Staff recommends denial of the requested variance to erect an 8-foot tall fence in the side yard. Case Manager: David Arciniega, Planner II (210) 207-6944

Section of the City Code from which this variance is requested Section 35-514 Fences and Walls: No fence or wall, other than the wall of a permitted structure, shall be erected or altered in any side or rear yard to exceed a height of 6 feet. Background: The subject property is located in an established single-family residential neighborhood located just southeast of Downtown. The subject lot is situated on the south side of East Drexel Avenue between South New Braunfels Avenue and Nopal Street. Single-family residences lie to the north, east and west. The lot to the south and west is occupied by a single-family residence. The lot to the south and east is paved and utilized as a parking lot for the church located on the corner of South New Braunfels Avenue and Hammond Avenue. Portions of the side and rear yards of the subject property are currently enclosed by an 8-foot tall, solid screen fence constructed of sheet metal. On July 21, 2006, the applicant received a citation for constructing the 8-foot tall fence without required permits. The applicant is requesting a variance to keep the existing sections of 8-foot tall fence and add additional sections of 8-foot tall fence in the side and rear yards. Recommendation: The intent of the maximum fence height requirement in rear and side yards is to allow for property owners’ desired privacy, while also allowing for openness, air flow, light penetration, and neighborhood uniformity. There do not appear to be any unique terrain features on this site that would warrant the granting of a variance for a taller fence than is allowed. A 6-foot tall solid screen fence is typically deemed sufficient to provide the desired screening between residences. Staff recommends denial of the requested variance.

Legal Description: Lot 6, NCB 11667
Address: 10131 Vernlyn
Zoning: “R-5” Residential Single-Family District
Existing Use: Single-family residence
Neigh. Assoc: Vance Jackson Neighborhood Association
Neigh. Plan: None
Section of the City Code from which this variance is requested 35-514 Fences and Walls: No fence or wall, other than the wall of a permitted structure, shall be erected or altered in any front yard to exceed a height of 4 feet with the fence or wall to be so constructed that vision will not be obscured above a height of 3 feet.
Background: The subject property is located in a residential single-family subdivision and is occupied by a single-family residence. The subject property is located on the north side of Vernlyn, north of Vance Jackson Road and south of Lockhill Selma Road. Residential single-family zoning and uses surround on all sides. The applicant received a citation on February 14th of 2007 for constructing a 6-foot tall fence in the front yard without a building permit. A stop work order was issued and the 6-foot tall fence remains unfinished. Recommendation: The intent of the maximum fence height requirement in front yards is to allow for desired property delineation while maintaining equally desired openness, air flow, light penetration, neigborhood uniformity and safe visual clearance. The size and scale of the subject fence the applicant is proposing to complete is not consistent with the existing conditions in the neighborhood. There do not appear to be special physical or topographic conditions on the subject property where literal enforcement of the front yard fence height limitations would result in unnecessary hardship. Staff recommends denial of the requested variance to erect a 6-foot tall predominately open fence in the front yard. Case Manager: David Arciniega, Planner II (210) 207-6944
