VICTORIAN VILLAGE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will conform an existing dwelling and permit the construction of a second dwelling on the same lot. The R-4, Residential District allows up to four units in the same dwelling only. The existing structure is a four-unit dwelling, which the applicant proposes to convert to a single-family dwelling. The site plan indicates a proposed two-story structure with a single-family dwelling unit above three garage parking spaces.
