From the filing
The application's description as it appears in City of Nampa's record. See the official record
The owner of a single-family home at 1116 E. Washington Ave in Nampa is building an addition to the existing house. The city approved a variance allowing the living space to sit about 15 feet from the property line, with the addition's front wall aligned with the existing front wall, which is roughly 22.5 feet from the back of the curb. The document describes a 0.05-acre lot; the addition's floor area and number of units are not stated.
Request setback variance to allow for building an addition onto the east side of the existing home, keeping the new front wall flush with the existing home's front wall.
