The Board of Zoning Adjustment approved on April 7, 2025 a request for a variance and waiver to allow a 24’ x 24’ detached garage to encroach 1 ft into the rear yard setback and to be located within the principal structure area at 2238 Grinstead Drive. The property, zoned R-5B within the Traditional Neighborhood form district, is a 0.206-acre triangular lot developed with a two-story single-family home and drive-under garage. The applicant, Walter Lee, sought relief from LDC Section 5.4.1.E.2 and Section 5.4.1.C.2 due to the lot’s irregular shape and limited buildable area. Staff found the request met all variance standards, noting no adverse impacts on public safety or neighborhood character. The Office of Planning’s Urban Design Team previously granted a Certificate of Appropriateness under Case 24-COA-0285. The proposed garage will comply with all building and fire code regulations, maintain other required setbacks, and preserve the design intent of the Traditional Neighborhood form district.
