Title
TRACY RESIDENCE VARIANCE (PA2023-0200)
Site Location: 1020 White Sails Way
Recommendation
Summary:
A request for a variance to allow an addition to an existing single-unit dwelling to encroach into the required 50-foot front setback. Specifically, the applicant requests to construct a new attached three-car garage that will encroach 29 feet into the front setback with a roof overhang that encroaches 31 feet into the front setback and a new bedroom addition that will encroach 13 feet into the front setback. The project also includes a new basement level vestibule, machine room, and elevator attached to the three-car garage that does not encroach into the front setback. The proposed garage would replace the existing two-car garage and would be located below the existing grade. The existing two-car garage would be converted into living space. The project also includes the removal of several existing unpermitted structures including a detached storage room, walls, fences, stairs, and other accessory structures that were constructed without the benefit of a building permit. No other deviations to the development standards are proposed.
