2136 NW 18th Street
CASE NO: 2003-0682.
Pursuant to Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the
City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal for Variance has been reviewed as follows:
Variance for rear setback:
Required - 20'- 0"
Proposed - 5'- 0"
Request to waive - 15'-0"
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that there is no hardship to justify the requested variance. The lot is over-
sized, having an area of 5,350 Sq. Ft., where a standard lot in the R-2 Two Family
Residential -zoning district typically has only 5,000 Sq. Ft.
• It is found that by developing the lot in the manner reflected on the plans submitted,
the property owner has derived undue benefits under the Zoning Ordinance.
• It is found that the existing addition for which a variance is sought, results in a over-
built lot with an overall effect that makes the subject site appear crowded. Addition-
ally, encroachment into the setback deprives the adjacent property owners of their
rightful visual separation.
• It is found that the subject lot has been developed, to some extent, without the benefit
of building permits; this is a self-imposed hardship and should therefore not be con-
sidered a valid justification for any encroachment.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department is recommending
denial of the application as presented.
