Variance sought to build a garage in the front setback of a single-family home
The homeowner wants to build a new garage that would extend into the required front yard setback on a 0.29-acre lot. The home would remain a single-family house. A Hearing Examiner will decide the variance, and hillside permits would follow only if it is approved.
