Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-013

APPLICANT: Tyler Thompson; 2030 West Baseline Road, 1828667; Phoenix, AZ 85041.

PROPOSED USE: Conform an existing two-unit dwelling.

BREWERY DISTRICT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a nonconforming two-unit dwelling zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will conform the existing use, and includes a variance for reduced parking from four to two spaces. The site is within the planning area of the Brewery District Plan (1992), which recognizes residential uses as a predominant existing use in the Southern Tier sub-district.

The request is consistent with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood. A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options.
