ZVAR26-0008 is a request for a variance to Section 24-151(h)(2) for attached accessory structure rear and side yard setbacks at a corner townhome unit built in 1959 at 10th Street and Beach Avenue, zoned Residential Multifamily. In 2025, the applicant's husband pulled a fence permit (RFNCE25-0123), plans were approved, but the city inspector found the applicant had built beyond the permitted scope — including a porch remodel connecting to both the fence and the primary structure. The porch remodel includes stairs that cross onto the neighbor's property, and the homeowner did not remove the unpermitted structure, resulting in an active code enforcement violation. A 2025 survey shows the covered porch sitting at 0.4 feet from the rear property line and 0.1 feet from the side property line. This is the second active-code-violation case on the April 21 agenda — a pattern worth noting.
