Zoning Variance Request V-10-23 - 5608 36th Place, Hyattsville end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move the City Council authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the Board of Zoning Appeals in support of V-10-23 for the subject property at 5608 36th Place, Hyattsville, for the purpose of constructing a 3'x7' canopy, requiring a 3' variance to the requirements of Prince George's County Code Section 27-4202 (e)(2.
end
Summary Background:
The petitioners, William Patty and Julie Schweitzer, have applied to the Prince George's County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) for a zoning variance to obtain a building permit for the construction of a canopy in the front of the dwelling.
The petitioner is proposing a 3'x7' canopy that would result in a 3-foot projection into the front yard setback.
The subject property includes an existing single-family detached residential structure and one shed structure. The subject property is located in City Council Ward 5 and is not located within a Residential Parking Zone.
Next Steps:
No additional action is required.
Fiscal Impact:
N/A
City Administrator Comments:
City Staff recommends the City Council support V-10-23 for the subject property at 5608 36th Place, Hyattsville. It would not be possible to construct a front entry to this dwelling without relief from the requirements of Prince George's County Code Section 27-4202 (e)(2), as the front fa?ade of the dwelling is located at the 25-foot setback. The petitioner is proposing a 3'x7' canopy that would result in a 3-foot projection into the front yard setback. This improvement is modest in size and is not out of character for the neighborhood.
Community Engagement:
The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) hearing was held on March 7, 2023 and a decision by the Board is pending a City Council recommendation.
