PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS: 15 days prior to Planning Board hearing.
NOTICE APPEARANCE DATE(S): August 19, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Board approve Variance Petition VP-25-000127, for 673 Waterside Dr., based upon the findings contained herein, and forward the recommendation for approval to the City Council:
Findings:
1. The Land Development Code provides corner lots to have two front yard setbacks and two side yard setbacks. The Hideaway Beach PUD does not have such allowances. This is a special condition specific to this lot and lots in Hideaway Beach.
2. The Hideaway Beach PUD creates special circumstances. The Architectural guidelines allow two side yard setbacks on a corner lot; however, the PUD has not been updated to reflect the Architectural guidelines.
3. The applicant designed the residence based on the Architectural guidelines, and upon review by the City for a building permit, it was found to be out of compliance with the PUD. A redesign of the residence would be needed and could create practical difficulties.
4. The requested variance is the minimum necessary to allow for the use of the lot.
5. Granting the variance will not confer any special privilege.
6. Granting the variance will be in harmony with the intent and purpose of the Land Development Code since it is allowed in the Land Development Code.
7. Granting this variance does not conflict with our Comprehensive Plan.
POTENTIAL MOTION:
Move to approve Resolution 25-XX with the listed findings and forward a recommendation for approval to City Council
