6830 SW 7th Street
FILE NO: 06-01429v
Pursuant to Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the
City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal for Variances has been reviewed as follows:
Variance for rear setback:
Required -- 20'-0"
Proposed - l 4' -9"
Request to waive - 5'-3"
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that there are no hardships which justify the after -the -fact variance
requested in this application. The lot is 7,000 Sq. Ft., where a standard lot in the R-1
"Single Family Residential" zoning district typically has only 5,000 Sq. Ft.
• It is found that by developing the lot in the manner reflected in the plans submitted,
the property owner has derived undue benefits under the Zoning Ordinance.
• It is found that encroachments into the setbacks deprive 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 permit; this is a self-imposed hardship and should therefore not be
considered a valid justification for any encroachment.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
application as presented.
