June 15, 2023 PZ2023-05 (6) The variance, if granted, is the minimum variance that makes possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure; and (7) The grant of the variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of these LDRs, is not injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public safety and welfare and will not substantially diminish or impair property values within the vicinity. Comments: See attached Letter of Intent from the Applicant and final analysis below provided by staff. V. FINAL ANALYSIS Based on the above review, the application is not consistent with the City's Land Development Regulations. While the Applicant describes in the Letter of Intent that the variance is necessary for installation of a secondary driveway, the pavers have been installed around the entirety of the property. Pavers from the rear or side yard could be removed in effort to comply with the landscape and green area regulation. Therefore, there is not a hardship that supports the proposed landscaped area reduction. The subject property does not have a special condition or circumstance that is not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district. Other homes within the Golden Gate neighborhood have permitted paver installations and those have been required to meet the 25% green area minimum. The proposed variance is not necessary to make possible reasonable use of the land, building or structure. A second paver driveway could be accommodated while also meeting the green area minimum by removing some of the pavers in the rear or side yards. However, granting of the variance is not injurious to the neighborhood and would not otherwise be detrimental to the public safety and welfare and will not substantially diminish or impair property values within the vicinity. The Applicant has asserted in the application that the variance request will not negatively impact the adjacent properties. Staff has compiled the relevant facts of the requested variance and recommends the application be presented to City Commission for consideration. VI. CONDITIONS If the City approves this application, the application will be subject to the following conditions set forth below: That the plans in the approval be substantially in accordance with that submitted for public hearing, the plans are "Pavers Replacement," by MR Engineering Consultants Inc. stamped received April 28, 2023, consisting of one sheet and a survey prepared by County -Wide Land Surveyors Inc. stamped received April 28, Page 4 of 5 97
