NEW BUSINESS –8B <br />B.Lot Coverage –Meets Requirements <br />The existing and proposed lot coverage does not exceed the lot coverage limitations of <br />the R-2Zoning District.

Factors to be considered shall include topography, location of structures <br />on the lot, location of structures on adjacent lots, and the type of streets or thoroughfares <br />abutting the lot. <br />In 2010, when the new single family structurewas built,Fairview Avenue (western property <br />line) was deemed the rear property line and Lake Johanna Boulevard (eastern property line) <br />was deemed thefront property linebased on prevailing setbacks of other principalstructures <br />in theimmediate vicinity.This allowed for a reduction in the setback along Fairview Avenue <br />from forty (40) feet to thirty (30) feet based on the through-lot criteria stated in the Zoning <br />Code. <br />The rear yard designation along Fairview Avenue was appropriate when used for the <br />placement of the principalstructureon this lot. However, the same designation allowing ten <br />(10) foot setbacks for the placement of an accessory structure along the west and south <br />property lines is not currently supported by staff in this case, as there are no similar <br />prevailing setbacks for accessory structures on similar lots in the immediate vicinity.
