end
Summary Background:
The applicants have applied to the Prince George's County Board of Zoning Appeals for a zoning variance to validate existing conditions (side yard width and net lot coverage). Specific violations of the Zoning Ordinance are outlined below:
* Section 27-442(e)(Table IV) states each lot shall have a side yard at least 7 feet in width.
* Section 27-442(c)(Table II) states that not more than 30% of the net lot area shall be covered by buildings and off-street parking.
Variances of 1.45 feet side yard width and 6.5% net lot coverage are being requested.
The property is within the R-55 Property Zone (One-Family Detached Residential) and the City of Hyattsville Ward 2. The subject property contains a two-story single-family detached dwelling. The applicant is requesting the validation of existing conditions to obtain a new driveway permit.
As per City Code, impervious surfaces may not cover more than 25% of a front yard. City Staff has estimated that the applicant is proposing impervious surface cover approximately 28.5% of the property's front yard. Calculations and diagram can be found on the proceeding page. City Staff does not anticipate any major issues with allowing an additional 3.5% impervious surface cover on the property.
Next Steps:
Correspondence on behalf of the City Council will be signed by the Mayor and submitted to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA).
