Approx. 1520 N.W. 24 AVENUE
CASE NO: 08-00153v,
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 feet 0 inches
Proposed 7 feet 0 inches
Request to be waived 13 feet 0 inches
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that there is no hardship to justify the requested variance. The lot is
oversized; having an area of 8,251 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 the illegal additions are comprised of an existing laundry/storage room
of approximately 266 square feet, and an existing study room of approximately 112
square feet.
• 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 variance is sought, was built without
the benefit of a building peiniit. Additionally, encroachment into the setback area
deprives the adjacent property owners of their rightful visual separation.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
application as presented.
