Variance sought to build single-family home closer to the street than allowed
The request would let a single-family home encroach into the required 40-foot front setback on a 0.67-acre lot. The Hearing Examiner will review it at a public hearing; city planners noted in early review that they could not identify a site characteristic supporting it.
