I move the City Council authorize the Mayor to provide correspondence to the Prince George's County Board of Zoning Appeals in support of zoning variance application V-84-23, a request to permit a 200 square foot net lot area and 10-foot front building line width, a variance request of 1.3 feet left side yard width and 1.3 feet right side yard width, 15.9% net lot coverage and support for the applicant's use of pervious materials for the driveway structure for the subject property located at 4614 Burlington Road, Hyattsville.

Summary Background:
The petitioner, Suco Wash LLC, has applied to the Prince George’s County Board of Zoning Appeals for a zoning variance to validate existing conditions and construct a two-story dwelling with basement, a two-car garage, a cover deck, and a driveway on front of the house. An identical variance request was submitted in 2019 under variance case V-82-19, and the staff memo for that variance is attached. Specific violations of the Zoning Ordinance are outlined below:
• Section 27-442(b)(Table I) prescribes that each lot shall have a minimum net lot area of 5,000 square feet.
• Section 27-442(d)(Table III) prescribes that each lot shall have a minimum width of 50 feet measured along the front building line.
• Section 27-442(e)(Table IV) prescribes that each lot shall have a side yard at least 8 feet in width.
• Section 27-442(c)(Table II) prescribes that not more than 30% of the net lot area shall be covered by buildings and off-street parking.
• Section 27-120.01(c) which prescribes that no parking space, parking area, or parking structure other than a driveway no wider that its associated garage, carport, or other parking structure may be built in the front yard of a dwelling in the area between the front street line and the sides of the dwelling.
V-82-19 was supported by the Hyattsville City Council on October 21, 2019, and approved by the BZA October 23, 2019; however, the petitioner did not pursue development due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The previous approval under V-82-19 has expired and the Board of Zoning Appeals has requested the Hyattsville City Council affirm their prior position.
