Request to keep backyard accessory building near property line denied

The application's description as it appears in City of Nampa's record. See the official record

The owner of 507 20th Ave N in Nampa asked to keep an existing backyard accessory building (used as an accessory dwelling unit) closer to the side or rear property line than the 5-foot minimum, by removing eaves within 3 feet of the line. The city's Planning Director denied the staff-level request because the building wall is about 18 inches from the property line and the eaves reach the line, which is closer than the 3-foot limit the Director may approve.

Request variance for location of previously existing--prior to purchase--shed location, to include adding a firewall, if required.
