About this application
The city approved a request to add onto an existing detached accessory building at 708 N Hillview Dr in Boise. The addition would line up with the building's existing walls, which sit about 1.5 feet from the rear property line where 15 feet is normally required. It is approved as a reasonable accommodation for accessibility, since the main house has stairs that are hard for a person with a disability to use.
